Two Ghanaian peacekeepers were critically injured in the missile strike on the UNIFIL base, with Irish forces assisting in their evacuation, Taoiseach said.

- Minister for Foreign Affairs Helen McEntee said the worsening security in Lebanon is extremely worrying and condemned Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel and the disproportionate Israeli response, urging all sides to respect the November 2024 Cessation of Hostilities Agreement and UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
- Irish soldiers assisted in evacuating the wounded Ghanaian peacekeepers, and Taoiseach Micheál Martin confirmed all Irish personnel with UNIFIL are safe and accounted for.
- Mr Martin strongly condemned the strike on a UNIFIL base, calling it `reckless` and praised Irish peacekeepers for aiding their Ghanaian colleagues.
- This week's hostilities have set back fragile progress in Lebanon, including towards Hezbollah disarmament, and the Lebanese government and armed forces need time to regain control, despite ongoing force protection measures.
