UNIFIL Says Israeli Drones Dropped Grenades Near Peacekeepers in South Lebanon

The near miss heightens concern over peacekeeper safety with the mission set to end in 2027.

Overview

  • UNIFIL reports four grenades fell as troops cleared roadblocks near Marwahin, with one landing about 20 meters away and three roughly 100 meters away.
  • The force says it had notified the Israeli military of the roadwork, halted the operation for safety, and reported no injuries.
  • UNIFIL describes the episode as one of the most serious since November’s ceasefire and a breach of Resolution 1701 and international law.
  • The Israeli military says it deployed sonic or stun grenades near a suspect, denies targeting UN personnel, and says it communicated details to UNIFIL afterward.
  • Separately, the IDF reports strikes in southern Lebanon that killed two Hezbollah-linked operatives, including Al-Munim Musa Sweidan in Yater.
