The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) reported that four Ghanaian peacekeepers were injured, with three hospitalized, after a rocket struck their base in Ramyah near the Israeli border.
The incident is part of escalating violence, as another base in Shama was damaged by rocket fire, likely from "non-state actors within Lebanon."
UNIFIL condemned the attacks, calling them violations of international law and UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which mandates peacekeeping in the region.
Tensions persist as Israeli forces engage Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
Efforts toward a ceasefire continue amid mounting casualties and displacement.
