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.

    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.
