I thought this could be a new thread for today. BurbankKarl's thread did well yesterday.
City hit for first time by Hizbullah rockets from Lebanon; eight people reportedly hurt in attack. 'We never thought Hizbullah would strike here,' resident says. Beaches cleared, residents ordered into secure rooms Sharon Roffe-Ofir VIDEO - A barrage of rockets fell on Tiberias, located some 35 kilometers (about 22 miles) from the Israel-Lebanon border, for the first time Saturday afternoon.

CNN has posted a copy of the message State has sent to registered citizens in Lebanon so I'm posting it below. Notice that we are going to have "sign a promissory note" and pay for our rescue. At this point, I'd be willing to pay quite a lot to get out of here! Many more bombs just exploded. They sounded much closer than earlier explosions. The IAF is really busy this afternoon. FYI, we are 7 hours ahead of the U.S. east coast.
Message to Americans in Lebanon
The Department of State continues to work with the Department of Defense on a plan to help American citizens depart Lebanon. As of the morning of July 15, we are looking at how we might transport Americans to Cyprus. Once in Cyprus, Americans can then board commercial aircraft for onward travel. Commercial airlines provide the safest and most efficient repatriation options to final destinations.
The Department of State reminds American citizens that the U.S. government does not provide no-cost transportation but does have the authority to provide repatriation loans to those in financial need. For the portion of your trip directly handled by the U.S. Government we will ask you to sign a promissory note and we will bill you at a later date. In a subsequent message, when we have specific details about the transportation arrangements, we will inform you about the costs you will incur. We will also work with commercial aircraft to ensure that they have adequate flights to help you depart Cyprus and connect to your final destination.
The Department of State continues to work around the clock and will continue to send updates to you as appropriate.
If the Palestinians had any brains, they'd realize they've been used as sacrificial victims since the 20s by forces outside of their area...and point their anger at the people who have used them so badly.
But they won't see outside the box, and so they doom themselves and their children to misery.
Praying for your son!
Zogby is a hateful old woman. Utterly ridiculous.
Thanks for the thread, solson. I'm sure it will be very active, things are a'popping.

Oh my, I knew he was in Israel, but I didn't know Tiberius.
Sending up prayers.
