Germany approves Holocaust monument in Berlin
Bundestag authorized a memorial design by Peter Eisenman amid Germanys ongoing postwar soul search. A 314 to 209 vote with 14 abstentions cleared the way for a groundbreaking next year on a field of 2700 close set concrete pillars near the Brandenburg Gate, with an underground exhibition and document center to accompany the memorial.

Israeli airstrikes pound Beirut in fiercest Lebanon raid in years
In the heaviest Israeli air campaign against Lebanon in three years, warplanes hit power stations and bridges around Beirut causing blackouts and fires. Nine Lebanese dead and 57 wounded in raids tied to Hezbollah rocket fire on Kiryat Shemonah. Hezbollah responded with strikes on northern Israel, killing two. Lebanese PM Salim Hoss urged restraint and blamed Barak for casualties as fighting mostly paused through Friday. Residents huddled in shelters in Kiryat Shemonah and Beirut streets lay deserted amid outages and sirens.
