Since the end of August, fishermen from Gaza - frequent targets of the Israeli navy - have been accompanied out to sea by members of the NGO International Solidarity Movement. On 5 October, the pro-Palestinian activists filmed the boats getting fired at with machine guns and water cannons.

Just one round and the bullets ricochet across the water to this huddle of fishermen. Next, a high-powered water cannon scours the deck for several minutes, damaging the vessel. This footage was filmed on 5 October by an NGO that supports Palestine's "demand for freedom". For almost two months, six international volunteers from the International Solidarity Movement have entered the daily lives of Gazan fishermen. They report that the same event regularly repeats itself: Israeli navy ships aim at Palestinian fishing vessels with machine guns and water cannons.
