Doesn't make much sense. The US made the same blunder with the no-fly zone in Iraq at the end of Desert Storm. The Iraqis couldn't believe they could still use their helicopters to attack the Marsh Arabs.
I guess it's easier to identify a fast-mover as hostile and not on a medevac task than it is a helicopter.
