Aoun visits south after Israel blows up strategic site

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun visited the country's south on Saturday, in a surprise trip to a city close to a strategic Hezbollah position recently captured and blown up by Israel. Official Lebanese media said he arrived in the city of Nabatieh unannounced and accompanied by security officials. His visit comes a day after a senior US diplomatic official said a new round of US-brokered talks between Israel and Lebanon, initially scheduled for next week, had been pushed back to October.
