Israeli Soldiers Fire at International Diplomatic Delegation in Jenin
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers fired shots Wednesday toward
a delegation of foreign diplomats on an official mission to observe the
humanitarian situation in the Jenin refugee camp. Video shows the
European Union, Arab and Asian diplomats conducting interviews near
Jenin's entrance when shots ring out. Israeli soldiers were seen
pointing rifles at the diplomats. The incident drew official protests
and statements of condemnation from Italy, France, Turkey, Jordan, Saudi
Arabia, Ireland, Spain and the EU's foreign policy chief, among others.
