A delegation from the US congress arrived in Beirut where it is scheduled to meet with several Lebanese officials, the State-run National News Agency reported on Saturday.

NNA did not provide further details about the visit.

The visit comes following a US legislation on Wednesday that approved a new batch of measures against Hizbullah party targeting its finances.

The U.S. House of Representatives approved bipartisan legislation to block the flow of money to Hizbullah and to sanction the Iran-backed group for allegedly using civilians as "human shields" during the 2006 war with Israel.
