Israel has expanded the Gaza fishing zone for the coming months through the end of the Gregorian year. The new expanded regulations go into effect on Wednesday, 28 Tishrei. The decision was made by IDF Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) in coordination with the IDF Southern District Commander and Israel Navy.

The explanation is the coming months are the winter fishing season and the move was done to permit Gaza fisherman to maximize the season as is done during the spring fishing season.
