\r\n\tHundreds of Palestinian youth activists sailed from the shores of the Gaza Strip on Monday to protest at Israel's restrictions on fishing in the seas off the Gaza enclave.
\r\n\tPalestinian fishermen say they cannot meet demand in Gaza due to Israel's naval blockade on the territory and limit of six nautical miles (11 km) in which they can take out their boats off shore.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe Intifada Youth Coalition stated that it launched on Monday [December 2, 2013] what it called the Convoy of Steadfastness and Justice, to challenge the illegal Israeli siege on Gaza, by sailing towards international waters.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tIn its statement, the coalition stated that the Palestinians will not allow Israel’s illegitimate and unjust siege to continue, and will break it.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tIt said it would be sailing beyond the six nautical miles, unilaterally set by Israel, in order to raise international attention and awareness regarding the ongoing suffering which Palestinian fishermen face due to escalating Israeli attacks.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe coalition said that twenty Palestinian boats, also carrying journalists and international peace activists, would be sailing out of Gaza.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe Israeli Navy deployed additional ships close to the Gaza coast in an attempt to stop the Palestinian boats.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tWhen Israel imposed the illegal siege on Gaza in 2006, the fishermen were limited to only three nautical miles off the Gaza shore.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tYet, the fishermen and their boats are constantly attacked even within those three miles leading to dozens of casualties, and excessive property damage.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe soldiers also took prisoner several fishermen.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tAs part of the ceasefire agreement of November 2012, Israel agreed to allow the Palestinians to fish within six nautical miles of the shore, but unilaterally decreased the allotted area to three miles.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tLast May, Israel decided to allow the fishermen to fish within six nautical miles of the Gaza shore, but the Navy continued to attack them even within the three nautical miles.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tUnder the Oslo accords in the mid-nineties, the Palestinians are supposed to be allowed to fish in 20 nautical miles off the Gaza shore, but Tel Aviv constantly violated the accord.
