Israeli authorities decided on Monday to temporarily extend the allowed fishing zone off the coasts in the northern Gaza strip from six to nine nautical miles for one month. According to Israeli officials, the fishing zone is expected to be reduced again to six nautical miles at the end of November. However, the officials said the extension might stay in effect for another month, if the Palestinians side maintained calm in the maritime boundaries. Our correspondent, Noor Harazeen with more.
