JAKARTA - French Defense Minister Catherine Vautrin said her country sent 39 armored vehicles to Lebanon last week.

French President Emmanuel Macron previously stated that France would continue to provide humanitarian assistance to Lebanon and support the country's armed forces.

"I confirm... We have sent 39 armored vehicles," Vautrin told the TV station, BFMTV, reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, Friday, April 10.

The Minister of Defense said Paris was also actively helping the Lebanese armed forces through training.

On Tuesday (7/4) evening, Trump said he had agreed to a two-week bilateral ceasefire with Iran, noting that Iran had also agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz.

At the same time, Israeli warplanes and artillery on Wednesday attacked dozens of settlements in southern Lebanon, including the major city of Tyre.

Trump said the cessation of Israeli attacks on Lebanon was not included in the agreement with Iran because of the Hezbollah group. However, Iran considers this a violation of the ceasefire it has reached with the US.
