Palestinian Authority says Israel fired on diplomats visiting West Bank
The Palestinian Authority accused Israeli forces of firing on diplomats as they visited the flashpoint West Bank city of Jenin on Wednesday, releasing video of two soldiers aiming rifles at a group of people.
It condemned "the heinous crime committed by the Israeli occupation forces, which deliberately targeted by live fire an accredited diplomatic delegation to the State of Palestine during a field visit to Jenin Governorate." A diplomat present during the visit confirmed to AFP he had heard "repeated shots" coming from inside Jenin refugee camp. An Israeli army spokesperson said: "I am looking into it."
