Queues but no panic as Lebanese banks re-open after two weeks
BEIRUT — Lebanese banks opened on Friday for the first time in two weeks after protests that prompted the prime minister's resignation, with queues building and customers encountering new curbs on transfers abroad and withdrawals from US dollar accounts.An hour after doors opened, dozens people of people were waiting at some banks in Beirut and other cities, Reuters witnesses said.

Twisted metal and concrete rubble are all that remain of the family home of Latifa Naji after Israeli forces demolished it in October, the fourth time it has been razed as punishment for attacks carried out by her sons. — AFP
Demolished Palestinian home becomes conflict symbol
AMARI CAMP, Palestinian Territories — The pile of rubble that Latifa Naji used to call home has become an unlikely symbol in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.The two-story cement house in the Al-Amari refugee camp in the occupied West Bank has been demolished by the Israeli army four times, most recently this month, as punishment for attacks carried out by the widowed 71-year-old's sons.For Palestinians, the desire to keep rebuilding symbolizes an ability to withstand Israeli collective punishment and a refusal to be forced from their homes.For Israelis, it is evidence of the widespread support among Palestinians for attacks like those in which Naji's sons were implicated.The Palestinian Authority led by president Mahmoud Abbas paid for the Najis' home to be rebuilt each time...
