Two fishermen were reportedly injured in an alleged Israeli drone strike in the Jabalia Sea area of the Gaza Strip on July 4th, 2025.

Local sources, including Mohamed Awad on Facebook, identified the injured fishermen as Abdul Arabid and Raed Abu Warda. Additional reports from locals, such as Abu Luay al-Khatib on Facebook, claimed that the two men were injured after being shot by drones while at sea near Jabalia.

While local reports provided names and attributed the attack to Israel, they offered limited and sometimes overlapping details regarding the circumstances of the incident. No further information was available about the extent of the injuries or the alleged incident.

All of the sources that reported on the incident attributed the strikes to the Israeli military.
