I have been away for a few hours and this thread has grown by some 500 posts so this may already have been posted. Anyway we discussed this in the morning (European time): Al-Jazeera broadcasting the sites of the hits on Haifa, therby helping Hezbollah to correct their aim.

Al-Jazeera Arab Network News Team Detained in Haifa
18:15 Jul 16, '06 / 20 Tammuz 5766

(IsraelNN.com) A news team from the Al-Jazeera Arab news network was detained on Sunday after broadcasting specific information against military censorship regulations.

The network’s Israel correspondent, Elias Karram, was part of the team that was detained after broadcasting the attack live from an observation point near the scene.

Media have been forbidden to convey specific information about the location of landing sites of rockets fired by Hizbullah in order not to inadvertently assist the terrorist group to refine its aiming at Israeli targets.

Until now, the Arab news network, which has reported from Israel for years, has accepted the security regulations. On Sunday, the news team was warned against broadcasting again without censorship.

It's been on a couple threads. There are also reports that Al-Jazeera transmission signals are being used as targeting aids.
