Two UN peacekeepers from Ghana were critically wounded when their base in southern Lebanon was hit on Friday, state media and the Ghanaian military reported, with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun accusing the Zionist entity of targeting them.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said that several Ghanaian members of the UN force were “wounded after their position in the town of Qawzah was targeted”.
Ghana’s military said in a statement that the Ghanaian battalion headquarters in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) came under “two missile attacks”, adding that “two soldiers are critically injured, while one other has been traumatised”.
“Additionally, the officers’ mess facility also got hit and has been burnt down completely.”
In a statement, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned “Israeli attacks on Lebanon”, adding that they had “even reached the point of a direct assault on UNIFIL”.
