French UN unit takes "preparatory steps" over Israeli jets flying low over south Lebanon
For the second time in three weeks, French troops in Lebanon came close to firing at Israeli F-15s on Friday.

Two IAF F-15 fighters flew over the U.N. positions at low altitude and high speed while two Israeli RC12s circled over the headquarters of the French battalion in Jabal Maroun.

On Oct. 31, two IAF F-15s dived repeatedly over French peacekeepers' positions in southern Lebanon and French soldiers were two seconds away from firing at the jets.
