The Lebanese army said its chief and a senior US military commander discussed on Monday implementing a US-Lebanon-Israel agreement signed last week that aims to halt hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.
Lebanon's Rodolphe Haykal received Admiral Brad Cooper, the commander responsible for US troops in the Middle East, with the discussions addressing "the latest developments in Lebanon and the region", a Lebanese army statement said.
Haykal and Cooper also discussed "the importance of successfully implementing the security annex of the framework agreement", as well as ways of strengthening future cooperation, the statement added.
On Friday, Lebanon and Israel, under US sponsorship, signed a "trilateral framework" agreement seeking to end hostilities, after Hezbollah drew Lebanon into the US-Israeli war on Iran on 2 March following the killing of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The deal commits Lebanon to restoring sovereignty over its territory through the "verified disarmament of non-state armed groups and dismantlement of associated infrastructure", enabling a progressive Israeli withdrawal, according to the text released by the State Department.
"The components of this process will be detailed in a Security Annex, developed with the full support of the United States," the text said, without immediately publishing the annex.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday that Washington would reimburse Lebanon's army for $30 million as it seeks to "improve the capability and capacity" of the Lebanese military.
Washington has long been a key supporter of Lebanon's army.
Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem has called the agreement "null and void" and instead called for the implementation of a US-Iran memorandum of understanding to halt the regional war that included Lebanon.
The Israel-Lebanon talks in Washington have sought to separate Lebanon from the Iran deal.
However, Friday's agreement came after a lull in fighting that followed the US-Iran memorandum, which Tehran insisted should include Lebanon. Hezbollah on Monday said it reserved the right to self-defence after several Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon the day before, accusing Israel of a "blatant violation of the ceasefire".
Israeli troops are occupying areas of south Lebanon in a self-declared "security zone" stretching around 10 kilometres (six miles) deep inside Lebanese territory along the border.
Lebanese authorities say Israeli attacks since the war began on 2 March have killed more than 4,200 people.
