Austrians also affected: Israel shot diplomats in West Bank

Jenin/Jerusalem – Israel’s military has admitted to shot at a delegation of diplomats in West Bank. As a reason, it was said on Wednesday that the column had deviated from the approved route. Among the diplomats were also representatives of the EU, Austria, Germany, Italy and Spain. It is currently still unclear which representatives it is. “The delegation entered an area in which it was not authorized,” said the military. Soldiers would have given up “warning shots” “to keep them at a distance”.
