ISTANBUL (AA) - The Israeli army targeted UN peacekeeping personnel in southern Lebanon with grenades, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said on Wednesday.

The UNIFIL said in a statement that Israeli drones dropped four grenades close to its peacekeepers working to clear roadblocks near the Blue Line de facto border on Tuesday morning.

“This is one of the most serious attacks on UNIFIL personnel and assets since the cessation of hostilities agreement of last November,” the mission said, without reporting any injuries.
