As part of the enhanced cooperation plan between the French and Lebanese armies, the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) received a donation of 10 backhoe loaders and 10 compactors from France. These will be utilized by engineering units for clearing debris and restoring roads, particularly in southern Lebanon, alongside maintenance parts for armored personnel carriers (VAB).
