<p>GAZA CITY (Ma’an) &#8212; Israeli forces detained eight fishermen off the coast of the Gaza Strip and took them to an unknown destination, a Palestinian union official said Tuesday.</p>
<p>Mahfouz al-Kabarety, head of the Palestinian society for fishing and marine sports, said the navy seized two fishing boats on which the fishermen were operating off the coast.</p>
<p>The fishermen were identified as Raed Abu Odeh, Usama al-Hassi, Jamal al-Hassi, Muhammad al-Hassi, Adham al-Habil, Salim As-Sadeq, Momen al-Sadeq, Bahjat Abu Odeh.</p>
<p>An Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed taking several men into custody.</p>
<p>She said a boat &#8220;deviated from a designated fishing area&#8221; off the Gaza coast, and was instructed to reverse course by naval forces in the area. The boat failed to comply with the instructions, she said.</p>
<p>The men were taken into custody at the Ashdod port, the official said.</p>
