• Israeli drones dropped four grenades near UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon.
• UNIFIL termed the incident one of the most serious since the November ceasefire.
• No injuries reported, but UN activities were suspended for safety concerns.

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) reported that Israeli drones dropped four grenades in close proximity to peacekeepers on September 2, while they were clearing roadblocks. This incident has been labeled "one of the most serious attacks" on UN personnel and assets since the cessation of hostilities agreement last November, according to trtglobal and Al Jazeera.

The grenade impacts were reported with one falling within 20 meters and three within 100 meters of UN personnel and their vehicles. In response to the situation, UNIFIL has expressed that any endangering actions towards its peacekeepers are "unacceptable" and constitute a serious violation of international law and relevant UN resolutions, as highlighted by trtglobal and Reuters.

Furthermore, the Israeli military stated they conducted these actions under the belief of addressing suspicious activity in the area, emphasizing they did not intend to target UN forces. This assertion has been met with criticism, stressing that such occurrences jeopardize peacekeeping operations, as per information from Al Jazeera and Reuters.

As of this reporting, operations by UNIFIL had been suspended temporarily for safety, highlighting the heightened tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border, according to trtglobal.
