The United Nations and France on Monday condemned Israeli fire near UN peacekeeping troops in southern Lebanon, after an incident during which peacekeepers neutralised an Israeli reconnaissance drone.
“We are very concerned about the incident that occurred on Sunday in which an Israeli drone dropped a grenade in the vicinity of a Unifil patrol, and subsequently an Israeli tank fired a shot at the peacekeepers in Kfar Kila in the Unifil area of operations,’ said UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric, referring to the incident in southern Lebanon.
