Ghanaian Evangelist in Israel Speaks on the Ongoing War, Rushes Into Bunker During Interview

• A video of a Ghanaian man in Israel speaking about the ongoing war has gone viral on social media
• The interview was momentarily paused after he was notified of an aerial attack and ran for cover
• Social media users have shared their views on the threat posed by strikes traded by Israel and Iran

The self-proclaimed vice-president of the Ghanaian community in Israel has given an update on the condition of his fellow compatriots in the wake of the ongoing war between the country and Iran.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, Evangelist Isaac Kobbie, in an interview, stated that no Ghanaian was reported killed or injured in Israel ever since aerial strikes between the two countries began.

Before the interview, he received a message from authorities about an incoming missile launched by Iran, and had to rush to a bunker for his safety.

He later exited the bunker after the missiles were intercepted and proceeded to disclose that the safety mechanisms put in place by the Israeli government were top-notch.

He concluded by allaying the fears of Ghanaians, saying that he and other compatriots were safe.

“What I would like to tell Ghanaians is that we are safe. Business is ongoing, nothing bad has happened to us, and we believe nothing bad will happen to us.”
