The Lebanese army has begun deploying to southern regions of the country as part of an agreement involving the trial of "safe zones." This mobilization follows a period in which Israeli forces occupied a significant portion of southern Lebanon in response to rocket attacks.
The development coincides with a high-stakes diplomatic visit by Lebanese President Joseph Aoun to Washington. President Aoun is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday to conclude a four-day visit. This marks the first official visit by a Lebanese head of state to the United States since 2009, occurring at a critical juncture for the nation.
