Live updates: Follow the latest on Israel-Gaza
Israeli troops opened fire at a group of foreign diplomats outside a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Wednesday, diplomats have told The National.
Video posted online showed the panicked visitors rushing for the cover of their armoured vehicles as the shots were fired.
One of the diplomats said that about 30 missions were present, from Europe, South America and Asia. Six shots were fired "in a couple of bursts”, they said, as representatives were standing at an Israeli military barrier leading into the camp.
“We had been standing there for around 10 to 15 minutes,” the diplomat said. “There were at least 15 cars, so we were a big presence and [Palestinian] media were also there.”
"The key point is that we were all leaving [as the firing started]," the diplomat said.
Another diplomat told The National the situation was confusing. "We were finishing the trip at the entrance of the camp, and suddenly we heard shots coming from inside," they said. "We rushed to our vehicles."
Jenin has been subjected to Israel’s widespread crackdown on militants in the West Bank for months.
On January 21 – two days after a ceasefire deal with Hamas was struck in Gaza – Israeli troops descended on Jenin as they have done dozens of times since the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023. The fighting has displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians, one of the largest West Bank displacements in years.
The Israeli army said that the delegation had deviated from an approved route and entered an area where they were not authorised to be.
"Soldiers operating in the area fired warning shots ... no injuries or damages were reported," the army said.
World reactions
The EU’s foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas called on Israel to investigate the incident and hold those responsible accountable.
"Any threats on diplomats' lives are unacceptable," Ms Kallas told journalists in Brussels.
Belgium's Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot posted on X to demand an explanation from Israel, adding that the Belgian diplomat was unharmed.
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani also called on the government of Israel to immediately clarify what happened. "Threats against diplomats are unacceptable," he said on X, adding that one of the diplomats was Italian and was "well".
Mr Tajani said he instructed his ministry to summon the Israeli ambassador to Rome to obtain official clarifications on what happened in Jenin.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said that the incident "violates all diplomatic norms" and "demanded the Israeli side provide the necessary explanations" over the circumstances.
The German Foreign Ministry called on Israel to "promptly investigate the circumstances" of the incident, while Ireland's Deputy Prime Minister Simon Harris said he was "shocked and appalled" at reports that the Israeli army fired shots in the vicinity of the diplomats, including two from Ireland who are based in Ramallah.
Turkey said an official from the Turkish Consulate General in Jerusalem was a member of the group and condemned the shooting "in the strongest terms".
"This attack, which endangered the lives of diplomats, is yet another demonstration of Israel’s systematic disregard for international law and human rights," the Turkish Foreign Ministry said.
Spain said it would summon Israel's most senior representative. "Faced with the intolerable shooting by the Israeli army during the visit of Spanish, EU and other countries' diplomats, we are summoning the head of Israel's embassy in Madrid," Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares wrote on X.
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry said on X that Israeli troops opened fire from inside the Jenin refugee camp to "intimidate the diplomatic delegation that is conducting a field tour around the camp to witness the extent of the suffering endured by the residents of the area".
In a separate statement, the ministry condemned "in the strongest possible terms, the heinous crime committed by the Israeli occupation forces, which deliberately targeted by live fire an accredited diplomatic delegation to the State of Palestine during a field visit to Jenin Governorate".
The ministry said the delegation was undertaking an official mission to observe and assess the humanitarian situation, and document the continuing violations perpetrated by the occupying Israeli troops against the Palestinian people.
"This deliberate and unlawful act constitutes a blatant and grave breach of international law and of the fundamental principles of diplomatic relations as enshrined in the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations," it said.
The ministry held the Israeli government fully responsible for "this criminal assault" and affirmed such acts will not pass without accountability.

Five famous companies founded by teens
There are numerous success stories of teen businesses that were created in college dorm rooms and other modest circumstances. Below are some of the most recognisable names in the industry:
- Facebook: Mark Zuckerberg and his friends started Facebook when he was a 19-year-old Harvard undergraduate.
- Dell: When Michael Dell was an undergraduate student at Texas University in 1984, he started upgrading computers for profit. He starting working full-time on his business when he was 19. Eventually, his company became the Dell Computer Corporation and then Dell Inc.
- Subway: Fred DeLuca opened the first Subway restaurant when he was 17. In 1965, Mr DeLuca needed extra money for college, so he decided to open his own business. Peter Buck, a family friend, lent him $1,000 and together, they opened Pete’s Super Submarines. A few years later, the company was rebranded and called Subway.
- Mashable: In 2005, Pete Cashmore created Mashable in Scotland when he was a teenager. The site was then a technology blog. Over the next few decades, Mr Cashmore has turned Mashable into a global media company.
- Oculus VR: Palmer Luckey founded Oculus VR in June 2012, when he was 19. In August that year, Oculus launched its Kickstarter campaign and raised more than $1 million in three days. Facebook bought Oculus for $2 billion two years later.

Why does a queen bee feast only on royal jelly?
Some facts about bees:
The queen bee eats only royal jelly, an extraordinary food created by worker bees so she lives much longer
The life cycle of a worker bee is from 40-60 days
A queen bee lives for 3-5 years
This allows her to lay millions of eggs and allows the continuity of the bee colony
About 20,000 honey bees and one queen populate each hive
Honey is packed with vital vitamins, minerals, enzymes, water and anti-oxidants.
Apart from honey, five other products are royal jelly, the special food bees feed their queen
Pollen is their protein source, a super food that is nutritious, rich in amino acids
Beewax is used to construct the combs. Due to its anti-fungal, anti-bacterial elements, it is used in skin treatments
Propolis, a resin-like material produced by bees is used to make hives. It has natural antibiotic qualities so works to sterilize hive, protects from disease, keeps their home free from germs. Also used to treat sores, infection, warts
Bee venom is used by bees to protect themselves. Has anti-inflammatory properties, sometimes used to relieve conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, nerve and muscle pain
Honey, royal jelly, pollen have health enhancing qualities
The other three products are used for therapeutic purposes
Is beekeeping dangerous?
As long as you deal with bees gently, you will be safe, says Mohammed Al Najeh, who has worked with bees since he was a boy.
“The biggest mistake people make is they panic when they see a bee. They are small but smart creatures. If you move your hand quickly to hit the bees, this is an aggressive action and bees will defend themselves. They can sense the adrenalin in our body. But if we are calm, they are move away.”

Real estate tokenisation project
Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.
The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.
Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.

10 tips for entry-level job seekers
- Have an up-to-date, professional LinkedIn profile. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, set one up today. Avoid poor-quality profile pictures with distracting backgrounds. Include a professional summary and begin to grow your network.
- Keep track of the job trends in your sector through the news. Apply for job alerts at your dream organisations and the types of jobs you want – LinkedIn uses AI to share similar relevant jobs based on your selections.
- Double check that you’ve highlighted relevant skills on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
- For most entry-level jobs, your resume will first be filtered by an applicant tracking system for keywords. Look closely at the description of the job you are applying for and mirror the language as much as possible (while being honest and accurate about your skills and experience).
- Keep your CV professional and in a simple format – make sure you tailor your cover letter and application to the company and role.
- Go online and look for details on job specifications for your target position. Make a list of skills required and set yourself some learning goals to tick off all the necessary skills one by one.
- Don’t be afraid to reach outside your immediate friends and family to other acquaintances and let them know you are looking for new opportunities.
- Make sure you’ve set your LinkedIn profile to signal that you are “open to opportunities”. Also be sure to use LinkedIn to search for people who are still actively hiring by searching for those that have the headline “I’m hiring” or “We’re hiring” in their profile.
- Prepare for online interviews using mock interview tools. Even before landing interviews, it can be useful to start practising.
- Be professional and patient. Always be professional with whoever you are interacting with throughout your search process, this will be remembered. You need to be patient, dedicated and not give up on your search. Candidates need to make sure they are following up appropriately for roles they have applied.

'THE WORST THING YOU CAN EAT'
Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.
Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines:
Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.
Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.
Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.
Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.
Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
