The Palestinian Fishermen Syndicate in the Gaza Strip said that the bodies of two Palestinian fishermen arrived in Gaza from Egypt through the Rafah land crossing, after they were killed by the Egyptian army's fire on Friday, and their brother was wounded, on the pretext that they crossed the Egyptian maritime borders.
