Israel fired warning shots at EU, China diplomats by mistake

The diplomats — none of whom were hurt — were visiting the West Bank town of Jenin and, according to the Israel Defense Forces, deviated from an approved route in what it described as an active combat zone. "I heard about the incident in Jenin today where Israel’s defense forces shot warning shots, but still shots, at a group of diplomats approaching the refugee camp, within the visit organized by the Palestinian Authority,” the EU’s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, said to reporters. The IDF said it will investigate the incident, which comes amid rising tensions between Israel and the rest of the world over the continuation of the war in Gaza.
