Fishing and going to sea in the Gaza coastal area is prohibited, and the military has issued strict restrictions.

Jin10 data reported on July 12, local time on the 12th, that the Israeli Defense Forces Arabic spokesperson Avichai Adre’i stated on his personal social media that the Israeli military has implemented strict security restrictions in the coastal waters adjacent to the Gaza Strip, prohibiting any Gaza residents from entering the sea. The statement urges fishermen, swimmers, and divers in the Gaza Strip to avoid going into the sea, stating that going into the sea along the Gaza coast will put them in danger, and the Israeli military will respond to any violations of these restrictions. Currently, the majority of the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip is concentrated in coastal areas, with many tent camps set up on the beaches. Due to the current shortage of humanitarian aid supplies in Gaza, some residents are forced to rely on primitive methods of fishing to obtain food and income.
