The Lebanese army said the US has supplied Beirut with two A29 Super Tucano light-attack aircraft designed for counter-insurgency operations.
The army said in a statement that the aircraft were handed to Lebanon on Monday at the Hamat air base north of the capital Beirut. It gave no further details.
Washington has been a major supporter of Lebanon’s army, which until recently had been fighting Daesh and Al-Qaeda’s Syrian branch on the border with Syria.
Last year, Washington delivered three Huey II helicopters, raising to 10 the number of such US-made aircraft in Lebanon’s fleet
The US has provided more than $1 billion in military assistance to Lebanon since 2006.
