No, not here in Israel. No Arabs involved.

Border Patrol: Agents fire shots after rock attack
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — U.S. Border Patrol agents opened fire Saturday along the Rio Grande on the Texas-Mexico border after being pelted by rocks and having a gunman point a weapon in their direction on the Mexican side of the river, an agency spokesman said.
...One of the agents started shooting after being "unable to take cover" when rocks were thrown, while the other opened fire after seeing a suspect on the Mexican side of the river pointing a gun at him, [spokesperson Henry] Mendiola said. He added that as rocks were thrown, "at least one of the agents feared for his life."
...Last summer, authorities said Border Patrol agents and Rangers with the Texas Department of Public Safety exchanged about 300 rounds of gunfire with suspected drug smugglers. Officials said the suspects threw rocks at U.S. lawmen in that incident, too. In 2010, a Border Patrol agent in El Paso shot and killed a 15-year-old Mexican boy across the Rio Grande. Investigators say the agent fired after being attacked by people throwing rocks.
So, Israel is not an extraordinary country in its response to stone throwing.

It would be hard not to fire at someone who is stoning you particularly of they are putting you in danger.
