Israel Radio has just reported that Muammar Gadhafi has fled and the city of Tripoli has fallen. More to follow.
What happens next remains to be seen.
UPDATE 11:54 PM
Here's a report and video from Sky News which has a reporter embedded with the rebels:
Sky's special correspondent Alex Crawford, accompanying the rebels, said the opposition fighters were greeted with scenes of jubilation as they made their way through the outskirts of the capital.
As they entered the city, their cars gridlocked the roads, she said, and hundreds of people came out onto the streets to greet them.
The rebels responded with celebratory gunfire, she said.
"We are now just a very short distance from the centre, with more and more people coming onto the streets.
"They (the rebels) had been expecting much more resistance but there has been very little."

I am happy anytime a tyrant is fought and beaten. Whether or not they hold and grow their freedom is up to them.
I think I’d rather take ole Moamar over the Islamo Nazi Muzzie Brotherhood any day!
Many of those fighting for their freedom are not muslim brotherhood.
Many of those who fought against the Czar weren't Bolsheviks.
True, but those leading it are. The Muzzie Bros., Inc. now have Egypt and Libya with the help of countries like the USA and Europe. Now Syria is next. Do you see a pattern forming?
Guess what happens when the Muzzie Bros. are all in position? They’ll go after Israel together.
yeah story that perhaps Col Gaddari mama was Half Jewish his background we not sure about him would that be something that guy like Col Gaddary be going to Israelis LOL! for PROTECTION
OMG he does look like older Richard Boone ROFL
Well, Egypt does seem to be for the worst unfortunetly. But I heard on Hugh Hewitt today that Tunsia has swung towards democratic freedom same as Iraqi has. Syria and others are already supplying terrorist and munitions against Israel...so I think your idea that these tyrants falling is all to go against Israel is not reality. Israel was and already is surrounded by nations that hate her. Hopefully Libyia will like her more after her hard won freedom. I do not think you really know the make up of the rebels leadership and who will dominate. We know what we have read, but it is limited.
