France mainly provides intelligence support to Israel, Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu told the local daily Le Progres on Monday.

Israeli forces launched a sustained military push against the Gaza Strip last week, replying to a military offensive by the Palestinian group Hamas in its territories.
Hamas initiated Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against Israel, a multi-pronged surprise attack including a barrage of rocket launches and infiltrations into Israel via land, sea and air.
It said the operation was in retaliation for the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem and Israeli settlers’ growing violence against Palestinians.
The Israeli military then launched Operation Swords of Iron against Hamas targets within the Gaza Strip.
