OCCUPIED TERRITORIES

ABCnews: Israelis Shoot at Diplomatic Cars in Gaza -Sources

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli troops shot at a convoy of diplomatic vehicles at a military roadblock in the Gaza Strip on Monday, twice hitting the windshield of one of the cars but causing no injuries, diplomatic sources said.
The diplomats were badly shaken by the incident as the small convoy was stopped leaving the town of Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza, close to the main Erez crossing with Israel, the sources said.
They said the convoy included representatives of Switzerland, Britain, Greece, Sweden, and Austria.
A Swiss Foreign Ministry spokesman said its representative to the Palestinian Authority and a colleague had come under Israeli fire at a Gaza roadblock on Monday but was unhurt.
