Aoun to hold meetings in Lebanon over latest Israeli escalation

The Israeli attack that targeted Beirut’s southern suburbs for the first time since the latest war will be discussed in meetings that President Joseph Aoun is expected to hold following his return from France on Friday evening, informed sources said.

“The attack that took place was a message to the Lebanese state regarding the file of Hezbollah’s weapons and the dismantling of its military infrastructure and facilities is a responsibility that falls on the shoulders of security authorities and agencies, especially the Lebanese Army,” the sources told al-Liwaa newspaper in remarks published Saturday.

The sources also did not rule out that Aoun might convene Cabinet or the Higher Defense Council to discuss the developments.
