Military representatives from Lebanon, the United States, and Israel are scheduled to convene in Tampa, Florida, in October for a meeting overseen by the U.S. Central Command. The gathering is planned for October 20-22 and will be strictly military in nature, with no political participation, according to an official Lebanese source cited by Lebanese television network Al-Mayadeen. Details regarding the eighth round of direct negotiations between Lebanon and Israel have not yet been determined. The previous political talks, the seventh round, took place on August 4 at the U.S. Embassy in Rome, with support from the American side. That meeting included delegations from both Lebanon and Israel. The upcoming military meeting occurs amidst ongoing daily shelling and attacks in southern Lebanon, which Lebanese sources report continue despite a ceasefire, causing damage to residential areas and agricultural lands. These military discussions are proceeding in parallel with diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation, though a timeline for resuming political contacts has not been announced.
