After the convoy reportedly departed from a pre-approved route during their visit to Jenin, an area the army described as an “active combat zone,” the Israeli Defense Forces ( IDF) fired “warning shots” at a group of foreing diplomats on Wednesday. The scene’s video footage showed diplomats running away in despair as shots rang out. Alessandro Tutino, Italy’s assistant consul general in Jerusalem, was one of those current. Antonio Tajani, the foreign minister of Italy, confirmed Tutino was undamaged and demanded instant answers from Israel. He wrote on X that “terrors against officials are unacceptable.” Alessandro Tutino, the deputy president of Italy in Jerusalem, is healthy and was apparently a member of the officials who were shot at near the Jenin immigrant station. We demand that the Jewish government soon come clean about the event. Attacks on officials are unacceptable, he wrote. Kaja Kallas, the head of EU foreign policy, even spoke out, urging Israel to look into the event and hold those responsible accountable. She told reporters in Brussels,” Any threats to diplomats ‘ lives are unacceptable.” Officials from over 30 nations, including France, Britain, Canada, China, India, and a number of EU member states, made up the group, according to Palestinian leaders and the media company Wafa. According to reports, the attend was planned in advance and was planned to examine the humanitarian situation in Jenin. The Army later claimed that the group had departed from the authorized path and entered a prohibited area close to the Jenin refugee camp. What initially appeared to be an illegal entry were immediately blocked by the soldiers stationed there by firing into the air. Due to the area’s status as a major conflict zone, the army instructed the delegation to follow an approved route that they were instructed to follow when coordinating the entry [to Jenin]. Brigadier General Yaki Dolf, the head of the IDF’s West Bank section, opened an internal investigation after learning that the group included international officials. Brigadier General Hisham Ibrahim of the Civil Administration ordered a independent review, promising direct contact with the participating nations. The government said in a declaration,” The Army regrets the pain caused.” The incident comes as Israel is being put under increasing global scrutiny for its continuous military activities in Gaza. At least 82 folks, including women and children, were killed in Israeli airstrikes across the area on Wednesday, according to the Gaza health department.
