In August, the kingdom granted the Lebanese army an additional $1 billion in aid to "fortify security", alarabiya.net reported.

The $3 billion Saudi grant is being used to purchase French weapons for the Lebanese army, after Saudi, Lebanese and French officials met in Riyadh November 4th to sign a purchase deal, while the $1 billion in aid was granted after gunmen linked to extremists in Syria launched an attack on Arsal.
