The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has announced that the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) GHANBATT 92 mission has been completed after a year-long deployment in southern Lebanon. The battalion, initially comprising 862 soldiers, was reduced to 615 personnel, including 103 females, during its tour of duty. Despite enduring heavy shelling, direct attacks, and an extremely volatile security situation, the troops successfully completed their mandate.
The Chief of the Army Staff, Major General Lawrence Kweku Gbetanu, praised the officers and soldiers for their courage, discipline, and professionalism. The mission, originally a traditional peacekeeping operation, had evolved into a high-intensity theatre of direct and unprecedented danger due to the escalation of geopolitical conflicts in southern Lebanon.
On March 6, two missiles directly hit the battalion headquarters, causing significant damage and transforming the base into an active combat zone. Major General Gbetanu assured that the necessary processes for compensation would be initiated for those who suffered material losses or injuries, commending the troops for their bravery and readiness to recover and reintegrate into their lives.
