Israeli Occupation Troops Fire Shots as Diplomats Visit Jenin in West BankRamallah, 21 May (ONA) — The Israeli occupation military fired shots near a
diplomatic delegation touring the city of Jenin in the north of the occupied West Bank today, the Palestinian Authority said today.
“The occupation forces opened heavy fire from inside the Jenin
refugee camp to intimidate the diplomatic delegation that is
conducting a field tour around the camp to witness the extent of the
suffering endured by the residents of the area,” it posted on X.
The authority, which has civil control of the Israeli-occupied West
Bank but does not have power in the besieged Gaza Strip, expressed strong
criticism of the Israeli action. There were no initial reports of
casualties.
It was also not clear which countries were represented in the
diplomatic delegation.
Media reports said that the delegation had been assessing the humanitarian
situation in the city’s refugee camp.
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry described the incident as a “blatant
and serious violation of international law.”
