Jordanian Soldier Opens Fire at "Israeli" Patrol on Border

Source: Agencies, 13-1-2009
"Israeli" troops have come under fire from Jordan at a border crossing with the kingdom, says an "Israeli" military spokeswoman.
"Troops were fired upon from the Jordanian side of the border. It was unclear who the gunmen were," she said on Tuesday.
According to the spokesman, no one was hurt in the incident.
Other sources claim that four "Israeli" soldiers were injured, one seriously, in the attack. A Jordanian soldier has reportedly been shot at the Wadi Araba crossing point.
The Jordanian army, however, says its soldiers played no role in the attack, suggesting that civilians carried it out.
"Israel" and Jordan inked a peace deal in 1994 and the border is usually quiet.
The attack came 18 days into the "Israeli" offensive into the Gaza Strip.
"Israel" began its air and sea operations against the Gaza Strip on December 27 and has since escalated its offensive into a violent ground operation.
The attack has so far left at least 940 Palestinians dead and nearly 4,400 others wounded. The assault has also claimed the lives of 33 "Israeli" soldiers and injured 80 others.
