The Israeli army said on Wednesday that its forces had not intentionally fired at peacekeepers in Lebanon, after the U.N. force said Israeli drones dropped four grenades near its personnel a day earlier.

A military statement said Israeli forces in southern Lebanon had "identified suspicious activity" and "deployed several [stun] grenades in the vicinity to disrupt and remove the potential threat," stressing that "no intentional fire was directed at UNIFIL personnel."
