The drone was reportedly shot down around 30 kilometers (18 miles) northwest of the port of Naqoura, in southern Lebanon, where UNIFIL is headquartered.
The Bundeswehr spokesperson said German forces were in an "increased risk situation" in Lebanon and that "appropriate protective measures" are currently being taken.
The incident comes amid spiraling tensions in Lebanon, where Israel is carrying out a ground and air offensive against Iran-backed Hezbollah militants.
On Thursday, UNIFIL said an Israeli tank "directly" fired on its headquarters in Naqoura, knocking out a watchtower and injuring two peacekeepers.
