The IDF Denies Firing At A German Navy Vessel
2006-10-25
IDF Spokesperson Announcement
The IDF spokesperson wishes to clarify that, contrary to media reports, the IDF did not fire at a German Navy vessel.
Yesterday morning, October 24th 2006, a German Naval vessel and helicopter were identified off the cost of Rosh Hanikra.
The helicopter had taken off from the ship without prior coordination with the IDF (as is standard). As a security measure IAF aircraft were diverted to the area in order to investigate.
The IDF stresses that at no point did IDF aircraft fire at the German forces.
