Israeli troops fired warning shots towards a delegation of 25 foreign diplomats who were visiting a refugee camp in the city of Jenin in the West Bank. The incident occurred when the delegation deviated from the approved route, according to the Israeli military. However, the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused Israel of having "deliberately targeted" the delegation with live fire, calling it a "heinous crime."
