A bipartisan congressional delegation is in Lebanon to back the Lebanese government in its fight against an Islamic militia. The U.S. has expedited military aid to Lebanon since the clashes broke out last week.

Rep. Nick Rahall: “As we speak, we are delivering more military assistance to the Lebanese army quicker than what would normally be delivered because of the circumstances that exist in the north. Our country is supportive of whatever actions the Lebanese army — not militia, army — may take to impose order and justice upon terrorists that exist within the Lebanese borders.”
