The Lebanese army announced on July 21 that it had begun deploying to an area in the south, one of three "pilot zones" outlined in a deal with Israel to disarm Hezbollah. The announcement came with Lebanese president visiting Washington, which sponsored the deal with Israel, for a meeting with his US counterpart.
