A missile strike on a Ghanaian peacekeeping base in southern Lebanon has sparked international concern after two soldiers were critically injured. The incident occurred amid escalating hostilities between Israeli forces and Hezbollah along the volatile Lebanon-Israel border.
Ghanaian UNIFIL Base Hit by Missiles
The Ghana Armed Forces confirmed that the headquarters of the Ghanaian battalion serving under the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) came under missile attack in southern Lebanon.
According to the military, two missiles struck the Ghanaian position within minutes of each other, leaving two soldiers critically injured while another peacekeeper suffered psychological trauma. The strike also caused extensive damage to the camp, including the destruction of the Officers’ Mess facility which was completely burned down.
The injured soldiers were initially treated at a Level One Medical Bunker within the UN base and arrangements were made to transfer them to a UNIFIL referral hospital for further treatment.
Israeli Ambassador Warned Ghanaian Troops
Reports indicate that Israel’s Ambassador to Ghana, Roey Gilad, had earlier warned Ghanaian peacekeepers deployed in the conflict zone to remain inside their base for safety as tensions escalated in southern Lebanon.
The warning reportedly came only hours before the missile strike that later hit the Ghanaian UNIFIL site, highlighting the rapidly deteriorating security situation along the border.

World leaders and security analysts have repeatedly emphasized that attacks on United Nations peacekeeping personnel violate international humanitarian law and undermine global peacekeeping missions.

Ghana Protests Attack at the United Nations
Following the incident, Ghana’s government lodged a formal protest at the United Nations headquarters in New York, calling for accountability and urging all parties in the conflict to respect international obligations protecting peacekeepers.
The Ghana Armed Forces also assured the public that other Ghanaian troops stationed in the area remain safe and have taken shelter in underground bunkers as a precaution.
The attack comes as tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate, with growing fears that wider regional conflict could further endanger international peacekeeping operations. MyJoyOnline
A Ghanaian man has pleaded guilty in a United States federal court for his role in a massive international romance scam that defrauded victims of millions of dollars. The case highlights growing concerns over online fraud schemes targeting vulnerable individuals through social media and dating platforms.
Derrick Van Yeboah pleaded guilty in a U.S. federal court for his role in a multimillion-dollar romance scam.
Derrick Van Yeboah Admits Role in Major Fraud Scheme
Derrick Van Yeboah, a 40-year-old Ghanaian also known as “Van,” pleaded guilty in a U.S. federal court to conspiracy to commit wire fraud after authorities linked him to an international cybercrime network.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, the criminal operation primarily operated from Ghana and targeted victims across the United States through online romance scams and business email compromise schemes.
Romance Scams Targeted Vulnerable Victims
Investigators say many victims were elderly men and women who believed they had formed genuine romantic relationships online. Fraudsters allegedly used fake identities on dating sites and social media platforms to build emotional trust with victims.
After establishing relationships, the scammers reportedly convinced victims to send large sums of money under various pretenses, including emergencies, travel expenses, or investment opportunities.
Authorities say that in several cases, victims were unknowingly manipulated into assisting the fraud network by transferring money from other victims, effectively becoming part of the laundering process.
Over $100 Million Stolen in International Scheme
U.S. investigators revealed that the wider criminal enterprise stole and laundered more than $100 million from victims across the United States.
According to federal prosecutors, funds obtained through the scams were eventually transferred to accounts and intermediaries in West Africa as part of the laundering operation.
International cybercrime investigations by agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation have repeatedly warned that romance scams remain one of the fastest-growing forms of online fraud globally.
$10 Million Directly Linked to Van Yeboah
Prosecutors said Derrick Van Yeboah personally carried out several of the romance scams, posing as a romantic partner while communicating with victims online.
Through these fraudulent relationships, he managed to steal more than $10 million from victims.
As part of his guilty plea, he agreed to restitution and forfeiture totaling $10,149,429.17.
Sentencing Scheduled for June 2026
Van Yeboah faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison under U.S. law for conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Sentencing has been scheduled for June 3, 2026.
U.S. authorities continue to warn the public to remain cautious when forming relationships online and to avoid sending money to individuals they have not met in person.
