France to send dozens of armoured vehicles to Lebanon

France will send dozens of armoured vehicles to the Lebanese army so it can properly carry out patrol missions in the country, the country’s defence minister Sebastien Lecornu said.
Tensions are mounting on the Israel-Lebanon border due to the ongoing fighting between the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah and Israeli army.

Speaking to Lebanon’s L’Orient Le Jour newspaper, Lecornu added it was vital to beef up the Lebanese national army so that it could coordinate well with the UN peacekeeping force.
