Tensions in Lebanon / UN mission shoots down Israeli drone flying over them,
UN Mission in Lebanon

The UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon says it shot down an Israeli drone that flew over a patrol operating in the south of the country on Sunday, the latest incident between the international force and Israel.

Unifil said the drone was flying in an "aggressive manner" near the border town of Kfar Kila and that peacekeepers implemented "necessary defensive countermeasures."

However, the Israeli military said the drone was carrying out "routine intelligence-gathering activity."

"An initial investigation suggests that Unifil forces stationed nearby deliberately shot down the drone and brought it down. The drone activity posed no threat to Unifil forces," Israeli spokesman Lt Col Nadav Shoshani posted on the social network X.

He said Israeli forces later threw a grenade towards the area where the drone fell.

"It should be noted that no fire was directed at UNIFIL forces. The incident is being further reviewed through military coordination channels," he added.

Unifil said the grenade was dropped by another Israeli drone "near" a patrol.

"Moments later, an Israeli tank fired at the peacekeepers. Fortunately, no injuries or damage were caused to the peacekeepers or Unifil assets."

Despite a ceasefire that came into effect last November, which ended the war with the Lebanese movement Hezbollah, Israel has continued to fly drones over Lebanon and carry out airstrikes on people and targets in Lebanon it says are linked to the group.

The military says it is acting to prevent Hezbollah from regrouping and rearming.

The UN and the Lebanese government say Israel's actions are a violation of the country's sovereignty and in violation of the ceasefire agreement.

The downing of an Israeli drone is a rare action by Unifil, which has operated on Lebanon's southern border since 1978 and is set to begin a year-long withdrawal from the country at the end of 2026.

The last known case occurred in October 2024, when a German naval ship participating in Unifil intercepted and neutralized a drone near the coast of Lebanon during the war between Israel and Hezbollah.
