West Bank, MINA – On Wednesday afternoon, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire on a foreign diplomatic delegation visiting the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank.
According to Palestine Information Center, the delegation, consisting of representatives from 30 European and Arab countries, was touring the area to observe the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
According to local sources, the unexpected gunfire caused panic and confusion among the delegates. The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned the incident, stating that the Israeli forces aimed to intimidate the diplomatic mission.
Meanwhile, Hamas described the attack as “a continuation of the occupation’s arrogance and violation of all international laws and conventions.”
