00:01This video shows the moment Israeli troops begin firing in the middle of a visit by foreign diplomats to the occupied West Bank.
00:09The group was forced to cut short its visit of Jenin, where it had gone to see the destruction caused by months of Israeli operations.
00:17Among them were Chinese, British, French and Italians, enough to spark an international outcry.
00:23We definitely call on Israel to investigate this incident and also hold these accountable who are responsible for this and any threats on diplomats' lives are unacceptable.
00:39France is summoning the Israeli ambassador for an explanation, as are several other countries.
00:46Another video of the incident shows two Israeli soldiers in the distance firing what the military says were warning shots
00:52to keep the delegation away from, quote, an area they were not authorized to be, after they had deviated from the approved route.
01:00The military said it regretted the inconvenience caused by the shooting, which resulted in no injuries.
01:06The political advisor for the Palestinian Foreign Ministry said the incident had given the delegation an impression of the life the Palestinian people are living.
01:15We brought the delegations to the entrance of the Jenin camp, and they saw with their own eyes how the Israeli occupation army fired their guns on them.
01:23Jenin has been the main focus of a large-scale Israeli military operation since January,
01:28including enforced displacement, home demolitions and mass arrests of Palestinians.
01:33The incident also came as international pressure intensifies over Israel's wartime conduct in Gaza.
01:40Well, it is.
01:42Well, it is.
