Four Ghanaian soldiers on a peacekeeping mission in Lebanon sustained injuries when a rocket struck their base, UNP 5-42, in the village of Ramyah near the Israeli border on Tuesday.
The attack, attributed to non-state actors, was one of three assaults targeting UN peacekeeping troops and facilities that day.
The rocket, allegedly fired by Hezbollah according to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), was intended for an Israeli position but fell short, landing within the Ghana Battalion’s area.
The explosion damaged accommodations and injured the soldiers, three of whom required hospital treatment in Tyre.
UNIFIL, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, has condemned the attack, which they describe as a violation of international law and UN resolution 1701.
Investigations are ongoing as peacekeepers continue their mission amid rising tensions in the region.
