Lieutenant General Sir John Lorimer, the UK's incoming Defense Senior Adviser on the Middle East, is visiting Lebanon as part of his pre-appointment tour of the region, the British embassy said on Tuesday.

President Michel Aoun on Tuesday stressed that Lebanon is committed to U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 between Israel and Hizbullah, as he slammed Israel's “incessant violations.”

“Israel is continuing its incessant violations of UNSCR 1701, which Lebanon has committed to while Israel is still insisting on breaching it, disregarding the repeated international calls for honoring it,” Aoun told his visitors.

President Michel Aoun has reportedly assured Prime Minister Saad Hariri that Hizbullah party has expressed readiness to dissociate itself from the regional wars, the Saudi daily Asharq al-Awsat reported on Tuesday.

Sources close to Hariri told the daily that “Aoun has assured Hariri at the end of his bilateral consultations on Monday with the country's political parties that Hizbullah intends to offer assurances that gives a sense of ease in the country.”

The security forces arrested three drug dealers and confiscated Captagon pills during raids in the Bekaa town of Addous, the Lebanese Army Orientation Directorate said in a statement on Tuesday.

The Army Intelligence issued the communique and said that the patrol arrested the suspects, Fayez and Riad Mohammed al-Hammoud in addition to Saudi Ahmed Awad bin Hamad al-Khamaali, on Monday after they raided their place of residence in Bekaa.

Prime Minister Saad Hariri said that he will resign if Hizbullah refuses to accept a new power-sharing arrangement for Lebanon, speaking as consultations got underway in Beirut between political leaders over the government's future.

Israel said that Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah “would be a target for assassination” in any future war between Israel and Hizbullah, Israeli media reports said on Tuesday.

Israeli military chief spokesman, Ronen Manelis, was quoted as saying that “there won’t be a clear victory picture in the text war (with Hizbullah), though it’s clear that Nasrallah is a target.”

MP Walid Jumblat said on Tuesday that Lebanon's “dissociation policy” must not be mistaken with the term “neutrality” as he pinpointed the difference between the two.

“There is some confusion between dissociation and neutrality,” said Jumblat on his Twitter page.

Kataeb Party chief MP Sami Gemayel arrived Monday in the UAE for talks with top Emirati officials, his office said.

President Michel Aoun met with Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Saad Hariri Monday in Baabda to brief them on bilateral consultations he held earlier in the day with the country's political parties.

On their first joint tour, British Ambassador to Lebanon Hugo Shorter and Internal Security Forces chief Maj. Gen. Imad Othman saw the progress made on the roll out of the Community Policing project to the Raouche and Ramlet el-Bayda Police Stations and First territorial Company headquarters, the British embassy said on Monday.
