by Omer Othmani, Osama Radi, Saud Abu RamadanGAZA, April 27 () -- The 60-year-old Gazan fisherman Mahmoud al-Issi failed this time to catch enough amount of fish he used to do using his small boat in the fishing season of a year, due to a severe fuel crisis that has been going on for months in the impoverished Gaza Strip.Al-Issi and his eight children have been going everyday to the little fishermen harbor on the seaside of Gaza city, with the hope of getting enough fuel to turn on the engine of their boat and sail into the sea of Gaza to catch enough fish to sell them so as to pay back their loaded debts.But usually, they could only look at their parked boat or the far side of the sea with sadness."We can bear the disturbance and tough restrictions of the Israeli naval forces, which chase and open fire at us in the middle of the sea all the time," the father said."We can bear all these difficulties, mainly restricting our area of fishing from 37 km to 5 km, but we can not bear these hard circumstances of poverty, unemployment," al-Issi told , adding with rage that "In this time every year, we used to catch huge amounts of fish, mainly sardine."Now, amid the ongoing crisis of the severe shortage of fuel in the Gaza Strip, most of the fishermen had turned jobless due to the shortage of fuel, which cut their sole way of making money."Everywhere all over the world, seas are opened for fishermen except in Gaza. The last time I sailed with my boat was ten days ago, and then I couldn't find any fuel," al-Issi said. "Before the fuel crisis, I used to go fishing 22 days per month, now I can only go for fishing 4 times a month."The deposed government of Hamas movement, which has been ruling the Gaza Strip since June 2007, had decided to devote a share of the fuel that is smuggled from Egypt through tunnels under the borders with Gaza Strip, to about 1,000 fishing boats. But fishermen complained that it is not enough.The fuel crisis in the Gaza Strip began in December last year, when the amounts of fuel smuggled from Egypt had severely declined. The crisis reached its peak these days after all gas stations in the coastal enclave ran out of smuggled fuel and only sells expensive Israeli fuel.Officials in the Gaza Strip said the crisis was a result of the Egyptian authorities' restrictions it imposed on smuggling fuel to the Gaza Strip. Egypt asked Hamas in Gaza to legally buy the fuel according to its international prices, but Hamas government refused.The officials said that the amount of fuel smuggled from Egypt to Gaza these days can hardly cover more than 10 percent of the population's needs. Al-Issi and his colleagues have been preparing themselves for this year's fishing season before the fuel crisis worsened."I even bought an electric generator for the refrigerators that I wanted to store the fish I catch into it," al-Issi said, referring to the crisis that led to more hours of electricity blackouts in the Strip due to the shortage of fuel. "I also bought the special lights we use when we fish during the night."The old Gazan fisherman and his colleagues say that they have never seen such a difficult situation.Meanwhile, the fishing business in Gaza had declined since the fuel crisis started, which made fish more expensive than anywhere in the world.Mahmoud al-Habil, a fish vendor from Gaza, told  that due to the crisis, fish vendors are buying fish from Egypt and smuggling it to Gaza, adding "the smuggled fish are grown in pools near the borders before it is brought to Gaza."Hamas ministry of agriculture had warned of the danger of stopping the process of fishing in Gaza. Ibrahim al-Qedra, director of the ministry, told  that the fishermen boats completely stopped due to the fuel's crisis, where "we have no alternative to fishing."Nizar Ayyash, chairman of the Gaza Fishermen Association, told  that the alternative for fishing in Gaza is now the pools of raising fish, "but even this business was badly damaged, because fishing pools also mainly depend on fuel and electricity.""The ongoing crisis of fuel and electricity didn't only damage fishermen, but also fish vendors, mainly those who are raising fish. Due to the crisis, around 20 tons of the best quality of fish were damaged with a loss of 135,000 U.S. dollars only this year," Ayyash said. Special Report: Palestine-Israel Conflicts
by Farid BehbudKABUL, July 10 () -- The Afghan army and the NATO-led coalition troops have been stepping up mounting pressure on the Haqqani network, a Taliban and al-Qaida-linked militant group accused of strings of high-profile attacks in the insurgency-hit country in recent years.In the latest wave of search and cleanup operations on the group, a joint Afghan and NATO-led forces captured a local Haqqani leader in Terayzai district in the eastern province of Khost Monday morning, the NATO-led coalition or the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) confirmed in a press release."The detained Haqqani leader specializes in high-profile attacks and reported directly to senior Haqqani leaders," said the ISAF without disclosing the name of the captured man.The Haqqani group is the military wing of Taliban fighters headed by Sirajuddin Haqqani, son of Mawlawi Jalaluddin Haqqani, who fought against former Soviet Union forces in the 1980s.Founded by Mawlawi Jalaluddin Haqqani, the Haqqani network has been operating in capital city Kabul and eastern Afghan provinces along the border with Pakistan's tribal belt."At the time of his arrest, he was equipping his insurgent cell with military uniforms for a planned attack on an Afghan government facility," the ISAF said in the news release. The security force also detained several suspected insurgents and seized multiple firearms during the operation.According to media reports, Jalaluddin, who is in his 80s and troubled by sickness, has been a close aide to Taliban's fugitive leader Mullah Mohammad Omar.The network has been blamed for a string of attacks, including a recent hostage-taking attack against a hotel in the Qargha Lake, a picnic spot on the western outskirts of Kabul on June 22.The attack left 18 people including 17 civilians and a policeman dead. Afghan army and police rescued more than 200 people from the hotel and surrounding buildings. All the five attackers were killed.The Afghan army and ISAF forces have captured over 1,500 Haqqani network militants in different provinces throughout last year, according to ISAF officials.The militants group was also accused of another coordinated attack against U.S., British and German embassy compounds in Kabul 's diplomatic district as well as a gunfight against the Afghan Parliament building on April 15 this year.A total of 15 Afghan security forces and four civilians were killed and 74 others injured in the April attacks simultaneously in Kabul, Nangarhar, Paktia and Logar provinces.Up to 36 militants were killed and one attacker was detained by security forces in one of the most massive attacks so far this year.Meanwhile, another setback for the militia was losing of eight Haqqani members during a special operation against a militants' hideout in eastern Paktia province late last month."In Ahmadabad district, Paktia province, an Afghan and coalition force conducted a security operation in search of a Haqqani leader Saturday (June 30). During the operation, the security force identified an armed group of insurgents at a Haqqani camp. After strike, the security force conducted a follow- on assessment which confirmed numerous insurgents had been killed and no civilians had been harmed," said an ISAF statement on July 1.Deputy governor of the Paktia province, Abdul Rahman Mangal, told  that eight Haqqani members including a key commander named Haddam Khan Kochi were killed in the air bomb attack which occurred in a tree-covered area in the province 100 km south of Kabul.Another big blow for the group was the capture of 16 Haqqani members, including their commander named Mullah Tajmir, in Kabul by Afghan intelligence personnel of the National Directorate for Security (NDS) in the last week of June, a spokesman with the body said on July 2."Fortunately we have captured 16 terrorists who planned to carry out a series of terrorist attacks in Kabul and foiled their vicious designs," spokesman Shafiqullah Tahiri told a press conference.The terrorists were planning to target Kabul international airport, ISAF guest house, the Supreme Court, the national army base in Deh Zabz outside Kabul and some more installations, Tahiri added.The U.S. government in mid-May this year also slapped sanctions on two individuals linked to Taliban and the Haqqani Network."Bakht Gul, a Haqqani Network communications official, is being designated for acting for or on behalf of Badruddin Haqqani, and Abdul Baqi Bari, a Taliban financier, is being designated for providing financial support for, and/or financial services to, the Taliban," the U.S. Department of Treasury said in a statement.The designation is aimed to "ensure all those who perpetrate ongoing violence and terrorist activities in Afghanistan and Pakistan will continue to be marginalized and cut off from the international financial system," said the statement.The U.S. Senate is mulling Tuesday to list the Haqqani network as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, according to local media. The United States listed the Taliban as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist entity in July 2002.Special Report: Afghanistan Situation
