Israeli army patrol shot at from Jordan: army
2009-01-14
An Israeli army patrol came under gunfire from inside Jordan early on Tuesday, the army said, adding that no one was hurt in the rare attack that comes amid Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza. "A border guard patrol near the Rabin crossing came under fire from an unknown source from inside Jordanian territory and fired back in their direction," a spokesman told AFP. "There were no injuries or damage," he said.

A Jordanian military official denied the incident.
"Nope. Nope. Never happened."
"No firing took place from Jordanian territory in the direction of an Israeli patrol and the reported information is totally unfounded," the official told AFP, asking not to be named.

#2  The JAF probably mistook the patrol for Hamass. Better Mil-to-Mil liaison required.
