My first sunset in Gaza- fishermen going out in the late afternoon. They are not allowed to go out further or they will be fired at by Israeli ships. This happens very often, I have seen Israeli boats open fire on fishing boats that were not more than 5.5 km out to sea, though officially they are allowed to travel 11 km, still a drastic decrease from a few years ago when they used to be allowed 39 km.
