The PA released a video of two Israeli soldiers aiming rifles at a group of people.
It condemned "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."
A diplomat present during the visit confirmed to AFP he had heard "repeated shots" coming from inside Jenin refugee camp.
In response, Israel's military said troops fired "warning shots" on Wednesday after diplomats deviated an approved route during a visit to Jenin.
"The delegation deviated from the approved route and entered an area where they were not authorised to be," and "soldiers operating in the area fired warning shots", a military statement claimed.
The Israeli statement said no injuries were reported, adding that the army "regrets the inconvenience caused".
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani slammed the firing of shots on diplomats visiting West Bank and called on Israel to "immediately clarify".
"We call on the government of Israel to immediately clarify what happened. Threats against diplomats are unacceptable," Tajani said on X, adding that one of the diplomats was Italian and was "well".
