The United Nations and France have condemned an Israeli strike that struck UN peacekeeping forces in southern Lebanon, describing the incident as a serious violation of international norms and the ceasefire agreement in the region, Al Jazeera reported.

UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said on Monday that the attack, which took place a day earlier near the border town of Kfar Kila, involved an Israeli drone dropping a grenade close to a UNIFIL patrol, followed by tank fire directed at the peacekeepers. He called the incident "very, very dangerous."
