No, there wouldn't have been a specific instruction as to who should shoot first, to respond to the comrades' fire.  It was understood that I was the senior in the Casspir and a policeman is trained in such a way that right from the outset he knows that lives and properties probably should be protected and that that was the reason why they should fire.  So they didn't wait for a specific order from me and I assume in good faith that I shot first.  Whether other people shot before me, I can't remember.
