President General Joseph Aoun met this afternoon with Army Commander General Rudolph Haykel to discuss the overall security situation in the country, with particular attention to the southern regions. This follows ongoing Israeli assaults on several southern villages and towns, targeting official, healthcare, and educational centers.
The discussions also covered the state of the military institution and ongoing preparations for the preliminary meeting of the international conference to support the army and internal security forces, scheduled to take place in Paris on September 17th.
