(May 21, 2025 / JNS) The Israel Defense Forces said on Wednesday it was investigating warning shots fired by troops while a delegation of foreign officials was visiting the terror hub of Jenin in Samaria.

The officials, whose visit to Jenin was approved by the military, had deviated from their route, entering a closed area that was an active combat zone, the IDF noted in a Hebrew-language statement.

“An IDF force operating at the location fired a warning shot. There were no damages or casualties,” the statement continued, adding that the military “regrets the inconvenience caused” by the unusual incident.
