In an unusual incident, a Border Police officer opened fire at a vehicle driven by IDF reservists that was chasing a Palestinian Arab vehicle. The incident began when the reserve force pursued a vehicle that did not stop for inspection at a checkpoint at the entrance to the city of Qalqilya. One of the soldiers in the pursuing vehicle fired a warning shot in the air. A Border Police officer at a nearby outpost heard the shot and thought terrorists were firing at her. She fired at the soldiers' vehicle. There were no casualties to the Israeli forces.
