Israel condemned for soldiers firing weapons near diplomats on West Bank visit


European countries on Thursday condemned an incident where Israeli soldiers fired near a diplomatic delegation in the occupied West Bank, with Italy and France both summoning Israeli ambassadors to explain what happened.

The Israeli military said the delegation had “deviated from the approved route and entered an area where they were not authorised to be” and that soldiers fired “warning shots to distance them away.”

No injuries or damage were reported.
