The United States has delivered Hellfire missiles to the Lebanese army and will also provide it with light aircraft including an armed Cessna, the US ambassador to Lebanon said Friday.

David Hale, in a statement after meeting Prime Minister Tammam Salam, said the aircraft would be bought with Saudi funds recently pledged to the Lebanese army.

“Over the last two weeks, a series of accelerated shipments of American arms and armaments have arrived here,” Hale said.

“This week brought the delivery of more Hellfire missiles to the Lebanese Army.”
