Prime Minister Hassan Diab flew to south Lebanon Wednesday for a meeting with the head of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Lebanon.
A security source told The Daily Star that Diab flew by military helicopter to the southern city of Tyre ahead of his meeting with Maj. Gen. Stefano Del Col. at UNIFIL's headquaters in Naqoura, which will be attended by the head of the Lebanese Army Gen. Joseph Aoun and a number of senior international military officials.
The meeting precedes high-level diplomatic discussions over the renewal of UNIFIL’s mandate, which expires in August.
