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.
This really is a crime against humanity along with the rest of the blockade.
Here’s another news outlet reporting on the same incident, with the victim’s name and the source as the Fishermen’s Syndicate.

Was he shot with a beanbag?
The victim was shot with rubber coated steel bullets, per the second article. It’s still a crime committed by the Israeli occupation forces.
That or a rubber bullet. Definitely not lethal force.
Even cuffing someone can be lethal, if you have a buffoon in charge
