Lebanon’s army says it is beginning deployments in the country’s southern regions after an Israel-related deal. The announcements come as Lebanese President Joseph Aoun continues a visit to Washington and prepares for high-level talks. According to reports, Beirut starts mobilisation for southern areas, while President Aoun prepares for a meeting with US President Donald Trump on Tuesday to help conclude his four-day visit. One outlet links the timing of the army announcement to Aoun’s Washington trip, noting that the United States sponsors the deal with Israel. The reported developments describe the move as an initial deployment following the agreement, with officials framing it as preparation for the situation in southern Lebanon. Both sources present the same sequence of events: the deal is followed by Lebanese army mobilisation in the south, and the step is announced while Aoun is in Washington ahead of meetings with US leadership. No additional details on the scope, duration, or specific units of the deployment are provided in the excerpts.
