"Yesterday morning, Israel Defense Forces drones dropped four grenades close to UNIFIL peacekeepers working to clear roadblocks hindering access to a UN position," the UN force said.

"This is one of the most serious attacks on UNIFIL personnel and assets since the cessation of hostilities agreement of last November" which sought to end more than a year of hostilities between Israel and Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, it added.
