GAZA, (PIC)-- Israeli navy forces kidnapped on Saturday three Palestinian fishermen off the Gaza city coast and took them along with their fishing boat to an unknown destination.

Local sources told the PIC reporter that the Israeli navy kidnapped the three fishermen shortly after they went out to fish in the open sea.

Palestinian fishermen are a constant target of Israeli navy harassment off the coasts of Gaza Strip and are routinely shot at or detained for questioning.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation forcers claimed that a Palestinian projectile was fired from the Gaza Strip on Saturday at the western Negev, occupied in 1948.

The Israeli radio said that the locally made rocket exploded in a deserted area causing no casualties or material damage.
