Israeli army said its soldiers fired warning shots’ after the diplomats deviated from a previously agreed-on route.

The group was travelling in the West Bank in the course of its diplomatic work.

No one was injured in the incident, Israel ’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

The targeting of diplomats constitutes a grave threat not only to individual safety but also to the mutual respect and trust that form the foundation of inter-state relations.

The attack, which endangered the lives of diplomats, is yet another demonstration of Israel ’s systematic disregard for international law and human rights.

The Israeli military justified the action by stating that the diplomatic delegation had invaded an unauthorised area.
