The badge is from Lebanon but I forgot which unit.

It is from the 1960s, it is a Lebanese Infantryman badge.

No, I don't believe so. I think these were given out to all soldiers who were apart of the infantry but I am going to have to look into it a little more. I do not believe that the Lebanese armed forces at the time where very large. Then again they could be given out to officers. I know that they were worn on a leather strap that hung over the pocket at times. Also, I would look into the French Army of that period, since the Lebanese Armed Force was heavily influence by the French.
