"UN: UNIFIL won’t shoot IAF planes"

SNIPPET: "After UNIFIL commander Alain Pellegrini was quoted saying forces may be permitted to fire on Israeli aircraft, UN Spokesperson Stefan Dujarric clarifies: Comment taken out of context; rules of engagement can’t be changed without political decision by UN secretary general

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "WASHINGTON – UNIFIL forces have no intention of firing at Israeli planes patrolling Beirut’s skies, United Nations spokesperson Stefan Dujarric said Thursday. Furthermore, the UN has no plans to change the rules of engagement to permit the targeting of IAF planes.

Dujarric approached Ynet following the report of comments attributed to UNIFIL head French Major General Alain Pellegrini, that it was possible that opening fire at Israeli aircraft in Lebanon would be allowed.

Pellegrini, who was quoted by French news agencies, noted the possibility the UN might amend soldiers’ guidelines in order to deal with the IAF’s aerial sorties.

The UN spokesperson, however, clarified that the quote was taken out of context."
