Syria's foreign minister has arrived in Lebanon's capital, marking a potential breakthrough in relations between the two countries.

Nearly two years after the death of Issam Abdallah, a photographer of the news wire Reuters who was killed by an Israeli strike while reporting, Lebanon is finally taking action against impunity for the crime.

Lebanon and Syria on Friday committed to turning a new page on ties as Damascus's foreign minister visited Beirut, with Lebanon seeking information on political assassinations under the Assad dynasty.

Landmark visit sees nations seeking solutions to border issues, status of Syrian prisoners and fate of Syrian refugees.

Israel continues to strike Hezbollah, and this aids Syria by keeping the group in check. However, Lebanon’s government has vowed to disarm Hezbollah and has not completed the task yet.

More than 60,000 boys and girls from across Lebanon gathered in Beirut on Sunday to commemorate martyred Hezbollah leaders Seyed Hassan Nasrallah and Seyed Hashem Safieddine during one of the largest scout assemblies ever held in the country.

After a difficult few years, cafés and restaurants are full again as tourists return to the cosmopolitan streets of Lebanon’s capital.
