"It is obvious that there were a certain number of hits where one did not exactly see the point," she told reporters on board the French frigate Jean Bart, which has been shuttling between Beirut and Larnaca, Cyprus carrying evacuees to safety.

"One cannot ask the Lebanese national army to disarm the militias and at the same time bomb the main Lebanese barracks."

Alliot-Marie also raised doubts about the strategic sense of bombing factories that produce powdered milk for infants.

"And unfortunately, more and more, we are seeing a number of bombardments that are hitting civilians, even convoys of people who were simply seeking to reach Beirut to find shelter have been hit by bombs."

Alliot-Marie arrived in Larnaca from the United Arab Emirates Sunday and visited French military personnel helping with the evacuation from war-ravaged Lebanon.

She then boarded the Jean Bart, which took her to Larnaca in the company of 272 people fleeing Beirut.
