Security Sources: Diplomatic Delegation in Jenin Deviated from Approved Route, Soldiers Fired Warning Shots Unaware of Their Identity

Following the incident in Jenin, Israeli security officials told Galei Tzahal that the diplomatic delegation came under fire after deviating from the pre-approved route coordinated for their visit. According to the sources, the delegation entered an active combat zone despite being instructed to remain within a designated safe area. The two IDF soldiers who fired into the air were unaware that the group consisted of diplomats and fired warning shots as a standard protocol to deter unauthorized entry into a restricted zone.
