The statement said, "Earlier, a report was received about friction between Israeli civilians and Palestinians, near the village of Fiqou in the Menashe Brigade area. An IDF force at the location fired into the air and at a Palestinian. The incident is being investigated by commanders and its findings will be transferred for examination by the authorized bodies."
