A photo emerged on Facebook confirming that the Lebanese Army took delivery of an unspecified number of M109A2 155mm self-propelled howitzers.
This recent addition is a major improvement for the fire power of the LAF which has been looking for this capability for a while; most recently it placed an order for a number of CAESAR 155mm self-propelled howitzer from France through the DONAS agreement. First talks about delivering M109 SP to Lebanon emerged in 2009 as a potential transfer of 34 systems from Jordan along to 66 M60A3 tanks [only 10 delivered] (Ref).
