OTTAWA/MONTEVIDEO - Canada and Uruguay on Wednesday summoned their Israeli ambassadors, respectively, following warning shots fired by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) earlier near a diplomatic tour in the West Bank.

Four of Canada's personnel and the Uruguayan ambassador to Israel were part of the diplomatic delegation when the IDF fired shots.

Uruguay's foreign ministry said the delegation was "attacked" with gunfire by Israeli soldiers during a visit organized by the Palestinian government to corroborate the humanitarian situation in the West Bank's Jenin Governorate.

The IDF said the tour group deviated from its approved route and soldiers fired warning shots with no one injured in the incident.

Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand wrote on her social media account that she spoke with Canada's Head of Mission in Ramallah earlier on Wednesday and that she was relieved to know Canada's team is safe.

"I have asked my officials to summon Israel's Ambassador to convey Canada's serious concerns. We expect a full investigation and accountability," Anand wrote.

The Uruguayan ministry said while "Uruguay's ambassador and the rest of the delegation are unharmed", Israel's envoy should "clarify the incident indicated".

"Uruguay urges the Government of Israel to investigate this incident and take the necessary measures to guarantee the protection and allow the operation of diplomatic personnel accredited to the State of Palestine," it said.  

Earlier this week, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron issued a joint statement threatening to impose targeted sanctions on Israel in response to its renewed military offensive in Gaza.
