“We urge fishermen, swimmers, and divers to refrain from entering the sea. Entering the sea along the Strip puts you at risk,” Israeli military spokesperson said in a statement on Saturday.
In the Israeli-besieged Gaza, where every path is blocked by Israel amid heavy bombardment and forced displacement threats , the sea stood as the last open horizon, until Israel’s latest threat turned even that into a danger zone.

Online, Gazans are calling it an attack on their last breath of freedom.
Israel has just issued a new order, closing the entire sea space for Gazans to catch some fish. This was the last escape for the population to resist the current famine.
