Lebanon’s Interior Minister Ahmad al-Hajjar says forces are increasing deployments and strengthening security measures across the country, particularly in Beirut, as authorities seek to maintain stability, Al Jazeera reports.

Following a meeting with President Joseph Aoun, al-Hajjar has said the security services will continue efforts to bolster deployments in different regions of Lebanon.

According to a statement from the presidency, the two men also discussed the broader political situation with al-Hajjar expressing support for steps being taken by Aoun to achieve “security and stability” in Lebanon.

The meeting also addressed Saudi Arabia’s decision to resume imports of Lebanese goods, which the presidency welcomed as a sign of confidence in the government and country’s security institutions.
