UN force in Lebanon says peacekeeper wounded by Israeli grenade

The United Nations peacekeeping mission in Lebanon (Unifil) said Sunday that one of its members was wounded by an Israeli grenade dropped near a UN position in the country's south, the third incident of its kind in just over a month.

"Just before noon yesterday, an Israeli drone dropped a grenade that exploded near a Unifil position" in Kfar Kila, the force said in a statement published on Sunday.

"One peacekeeper was lightly injured and received medical assistance."

Earlier this month, Unifil said Israeli drones had dropped multiple grenades near peacekeepers providing security for workers clearing rubble left over from the war.
