The Government of Ghana has formally lodged a protest with UN Secretary-General António Guterres following what it described as the condemnable attack on Ghanaian peacekeeping soldiers in Lebanon.
A statement issued by the Foreign Affairs Ministry on Saturday, March 7, 2026, disclosed that Ghana is demanding full, immediate, impartial and transparent investigations into the attack, which violates international law and amounts to a war crime.
According to the minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Ghana shall firmly pursue justice and enhanced protection for our gallant soldiers.
He assured the injured soldiers that they can count on the nation’s love, prayers and unflinching support.
Two Ghanaian peacekeepers were critically injured after the Ghanaian Battalion (GHANBATT) headquarters in southern Lebanon came under targeted missile fire on Friday.
The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) confirmed the incident in a statement, noting that the headquarters, operating under the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), was struck twice between 17:45 and 17:52 local time.
According to GAF, the strikes occurred amidst ongoing heavy exchanges between the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and Hezbollah.
