UN says Israeli drone attack near peacekeepers violated international law

UN peacekeepers in Lebanon say Israel was notified in advance of a road clearance mission near the village of Marwahin before drones dropped grenades close to their personnel.

“Any actions endangering UN peacekeepers and assets, and interference with their mandated tasks are unacceptable and a serious violation of Resolution 1701 and international law,” Unifil said, citing the UN resolution that ended the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.
