Israeli gunners cover their ears as an artillery piece fires into southern Lebanon from a position on the border near Kiryat Shmona, northern Israel, Friday, July 14, 2006.
It is really strange. On Thursday, Fox did a much better job - when it was starting - and cnn showed nothing.
Rte66, I think both Alouette and sofaman have people in Israel, if that's what you're looking for. (They're civilians, not military, I believe.)
Anybody see this?
Hizbullah leaders and operatives were leaving Beirut on Saturday following a massive IAF strike on an 11-story building that served as the organization's command center, initial intelligence revealed.
Channel 2 reported that the move appeared to be made under heavy security.

This thread moves so fast that I haven't started catching up on what I missed during the night...
I will be glad when he is back here, tho.
Thank you, thank you. I was just sitting here refreshing and refreshing, hoping someone would answer. A company here is coordinating an evac of American civilians in harm's way, with people they have on the ground there already, safely and through diplomatic channels.
If I were in Beirut or somewhere in Israel, and frantic to get out, without power, I'd want someone to have this info and I felt the 45 minutes I've waited might make a difference.
I did FReepmail Allegra to get her advice, if she knew who these people are. I just wanted to find out from someone if this company is reputable and it isn't a scam of some kind, like they will ask for money. I just don't know. I'll FRm those two and just tell them. This info was also for those here in the US who had someone over there, to work it from this end.
Thank you - sorry if typos

Maybe Fox had to get their top tier people over there. Could explain the dismal reporting by Fox earlier in the week.
I had just written to Fox last night complaining about the poor coverage of the war, when it took a decided turn for the better. I think you're right about them having to get their people into position.
When you don't have bureaus and stringers all over the world, it takes time to deploy...
"This is a huge escalation of this war."
Israel has apparently issued a warning to Syria, giving them 72 hours to stop Hezbollah and release the soldiers. I have a feeling that was a distraction and that when the 72 hour deadline expires, something will be lobbed at Tehran.
A new day...a new thread.
That info was included in the site where I got the bio info. It wasn't something I added or believe.
I am now. I've been in meetings. {GROAN}
Ugh! Check your mail - I got antsy and sent it, anyway.
"Is your refrigerator running?"
"This is Prince Albert - have I had any calls?"
Just FYI - we're OK here. In fact, it's been pretty quiet.
Fine. I knew you were OK - just wanted your advice on that company, if you knew any.
I have a feeling the Iranian silkworm missile at the Israeli ship was the first surprise that the Israelis had gotten. Their intelligence capabilities are very good (far better than ours, apparently, thanks CIA), and I think they probably know what's what. I am praying that their military strategy will be equally brilliant.
I am praying continuously for the Israelis in this conflict, both for their sake and for the world's really.
Yeah, I was responding to the info, not necessarily to you. Nothing meant. Be well.
