Photos: Palestinian fishermen work on Gaza’s coast amid constant danger

Palestinian fishermen are shown on the coast of the Gaza Strip, where they have faced increased Israeli naval attacks. Since the start of the war on October 7, 2013, Israel has killed more than 232 fishermen, injured more than 100 others, and arrested more than 100, dozens of whom remain in Israeli prisons, according to Zakaria Bakr, head of the Gaza fishermen’s union.
