Suleiman Visits Army in South in Morale Boosting Effort, Inspects Army Base in Odaisseh

Al Markaziyah news agency reported that President Michel Suleiman heads to the South on Saturday in a morale boosting trip following the deadly clashes between Lebanese and "Israeli" soldiers.

Suleiman will inspect the army base that was attacked by "Israeli" troops in the town of Odeisseh on Tuesday and meet with soldiers there. 

The president is also expected to meet with the UNIFIL leadership. He will be accompanied by Army Chief Gen. Jean Qahwaji and several high-ranking officers.
On Friday, Head of the Army Administration Department Maj. Gen. Abdel Rahman Shehaitli informed Suleiman about the tripartite talks held in Naqoura two days earlier. 

Shehaitli reportedly told Suleiman that Lebanon asked UNIFIL to set rules on how to act at the U.N.-drawn Blue Line, particularly in areas where the country has reservations over. 

On the same note, Pres. Suleiman is to meet with leaderships and heads of political parties in the coming two days before the next dialogue session is held on the 19th of August, in the framework of immunizing the Lebanese arena and eliminating discord among the Lebanese.
