  1. Robert Karem, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, informed Congress in October that the Pentagon plans to supply the Lebanese Armed Forces with six US-origin MD-530G light attack helicopters. The proposal, which also includes communications equipment such as radios, satellite navigation and transponder beacons, is estimated at $110 million, according to congressional correspondence reviewed by Al-Monitor.
