Gone Fishing, Gaza fishermen make the most of new Israeli regulations

Since 2000, Israel limited Palestinian fishing waters to just 6-9 miles (9-15 km) from the Gaza coast. But on Monday it broadened the limit to 12-5 miles (19-24 km) out.

Fishermen unload their catch at the seaport of Gaza City, after Israel expanded fishing zone for Palestinians April 2, 2019.
