Palestinian mourners carry the body of Mohammed Majed Bakr, a 25-year-old fisherman who died from his injuries after an Israeli patrol vessel fired at a fishing boat, during his funeral in Gaza City on May 16, 2017. The Israeli patrol boat fired at Palestinian fishermen accused of breaching the blockade off the northern Gaza Strip on May 15, leaving one of them dead, officials said. The Palestinian fishermen's union chief said the shooting and the arrest of four other crewmen happened in one incident, and two more arrests were made when the military boarded another Gaza boat overnight. An Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed the shooting but did not speak of additional arrests. Photo by Ashraf Amra
