This action comes after the French military intercepted a suspicious aerial target in southern Lebanon, according to Al Arabiya. Additionally, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has pledged 3 million euros to assist the Yemeni people amid escalating hostilities in the country, which have triggered a humanitarian crisis. The minister disclosed that an attack by the Houthis, a group labeled as terrorists, in Bab Al-Mandab has exacerbated the humanitarian situation, as reported by Reuters.",
