• The LA Times updates the latest from the Syrian army’s siege of the Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp. I can’t decide if the proverbial glass is half-empty or half-full:

But under a fragile accord worked out among anti- and pro-government factions in the camp, some residents have begun to exit the rubble-strewn neighborhood.

Thousands, however, remain stuck there, without sufficient supplies.

• Residents of Beirut are still shocked that a suicide bomber blew up a bus on Monday. Commuters are avoiding busses, while bus drivers casting wary eyes on every passenger getting on. If you were in Israel during the second intifada’s bus bombings, the Daily Star has an odd sense of deja vu.

• Foreign Press in Egypt is Running Scared
