The Israeli ambassador to Canada has suggested that a group of diplomats, including Canadians, touring a city in the West Bank may have been led away from their approved route to provoke the Israeli soldiers who fired shots near the group earlier this week.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) fired shots near the group, including four Canadians, during a guided tour of the city of Jenin in the West Bank on May 21, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand. No one was injured in the incident, the IDF said.
