Lebanon prison tensions flare after amnesty law suspended | The National (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When the Lebanese parliament approved a landmark amnesty bill on August 12, prisoners at the country's largest jail in Roumieh cheered ahead of their expected release while supporters let off fireworks elsewhere.

Read excerpt
Hezbollah has yet to pay out compensation for damage to homes in southern Lebanon and Beirut's southern suburbs during its latest war with Israel, according to residents, suggesting the Tehran-backed group might be feeling the impact of the war in Iran and a crackdown on its funding networks.
