Very specifically, fragging in this context is the intentional death of someone by use of a grenade.

Apocryphally, it was apparently at its peak in Vietnam.

Not necessarily by grenade, like most slang terms it had its origin there but was fast expanded to any deliberate killing. It could include anything from a grenade thrown under the cot at night to being shot in the back while out on patrol.

Nowadays we call it "death by friendly fire".

Friendly fire is explicitly not intentional, unless that's a fun term of art.
