HAARETZ:: The old man and the 'strip and swim' procedure

The Israeli navy harasses Gazan fishermen even within 3-mile limit from shore By Amira Hass | Jun.
04, 2012 | 6:15 AM   This strip-and-swim procedure is carried out several times a month: summer and winter, day and night, hot and cold, old and young, it makes no difference.
More often, the gunboats shoot at the fishing skiffs.
Al-Mezan, the Gazan human rights organization, has recorded 12 instances in May of the Israeli navy firing live ammunition at fishing boats that set out from the Gazan ports.
The navy detained nine fishermen (all of whom were released within 12 hours ) and confiscated four fishing boats and their equipment (which are returned, usually in damaged condition, after about a year ).
