Israeli occupation forces prevent Palestinian civilians from fishing in their own territorial waters. This, despite Israeli claims of disengagement from the occupied Gaza Strip.

Occupied, yes. Because Israel controls the air, sea, and with the Egyptian military regime’s coordination, land, making the Gaza Strip the world’s largest open air prison.
