JERUSALEM: Israel said it eased on Sunday fishing restrictions off the blockaded Gaza Strip with the aim of preventing a deterioration in humanitarian conditions in the Palestinian enclave.
The move came just three days after Israel had reduced the offshore fishing limits in response to Palestinians floating balloons fitted with incendiaries over the border.
COGAT, the defense ministry unit that oversees such regulations, said the fishing zone was being “expanded to 15 nautical miles,” back up from 10.
