Foreign diplomats come under Israeli fire on official West Bank visit

The Israeli military fired warning shots at a large delegation of European and Arab diplomats on an official visit to the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, drawing swift condemnation.
Delegations from more than 20 countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Canada and others, were on an official mission to see the humanitarian situation in the besieged camp, according to the Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which called the incident a “deliberate and unlawful act.”
Videos on social media show delegation members giving media interviews when shots are heard ringing out close to the group and forcing it to run for cover.

“The IDF regrets the inconvenience caused,”
They were literally shooting in their direction, not making them wait a little longer at some checkpoint.

I hope one day soon the west will wake up from their collective guilt and hold these bastards accountable. I can't see it happening in my lifetime, but one can hope.
Condemnation and bullshit UN resolutions that keep getting vetoed mean nothing. Countries need to start sanctioning Israel with or without American approval.
I gave it about a year before the world had decided it had enough with blatant genocide but society is nowhere close to where I thought it was. All those documentaries and classes about the Holocaust when i was a child and by the time I'm grown up we've already disregarded it completely.
Never again (as long as they're white European stock or Jewish ) should be the new slogan.
Imagine killing civilians and assisting in starving kids to death to the extent that you feel comfortable merely saying “sorry for the inconvenience” when firing on foreign diplomats. I would have thought a solider would say they saw a terrorist flying on a broom behind them before admitting that. These guys were brazen enough to say “sorry you feel that way”. Astounding.
Clearly they were diplomats working with Hamas terrorists
The diplomats threw rocks at the IDF vehicle and Israel has the right to defend itself.
With friends like Israel you won't need enemies.
“The threats against diplomats are unacceptable,” the country’s [Italy] Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani added in a social media post on X.
Oh, but a 2 year genocide and crackdown on anyone pointing it out was acceptable? Fuck these cunts
You think they’ll stand up for Palestinians when they won’t for their own diplomats?
