Israeli Soldiers Fire Warning Shots to Disperse Western Diplomats Touring West Bank

"Israeli soldiers fired warning shots Wednesday to disperse a group of Western diplomats, Palestinian officials, and journalists visiting Jenin in the West Bank. Though no injuries were reported, the incident heightened tensions between Israel and its foreign partners amid growing international criticism of its actions in Gaza and the West Bank. Following calls from Britain, France, and Canada to end the Gaza war two days prior and Britain's suspension of trade talks with Israel a day before, diplomatic efforts involving these nations were further strained."
