Lebanon army chief Joseph Aoun is currently in the United States, where he has been hosted by top generals at the Pentagon and has held meetings at the White House and Congress. Discussions have centered around LAF assistance and the escalating tensions with Israel. Hezbollah has fired 215 rockets, leading to heightened fears of an all-out war. The situation has seen two waves of Hezbollah rockets and drones, with Israel responding by hitting Der Seryan and pushing into Rafah. French President Emmanuel Macron has called for a summit with the US and Israel, and the G7 is expected to issue a statement regarding Lebanon. Ceasefire talks have stalled amid the ongoing conflict, with Israel hinting at a possible escalation on the Lebanon border and conducting raids in the West Bank.
