| [AnNahar] An Egyptian military court on Wednesday sentenced five Paleostinian fishermen to one year each in jail for illegally entering Egyptian territorial waters, an army source told Agence La Belle France Presse. The Paleostinians were jugged Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! when they crossed into Egyptian waters near the border town of Rafah, the source said, adding that the verdict was delivered by a military court in the Suez canal town of Ismailiya. On August 30 Egypt's navy arrested five Paleostinian fishermen, but it was unclear whether those sentenced on Wednesday were the same. The verdict comes at a time when relations between Egypt and the Paleostinian Islamist movement Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, have sharply deteriorated since the military ouster on July 3 of president Mohammed Morsi. Last week Egyptian naval forces shot up Paleostinian fishermen off the Gazoo Strip's southern coast and arrested two, according to Hamas which rules the Paleostinian enclave. In a separate case, the military court in Ismailiya sentenced five Egyptian fishermen to one month in jail for fishing in the Suez canal during unauthorized hours, the army source said. |
