That had been their plan all along, and then were told if there were a clear stop in the activity to then try to move north further. They've lived there for several years and have neighbors that they know and trust and who are looking out for them. None of them (the neighbors included) knew there were some bad guys nearby, so they've had some consistent heavy activity in the 1-5 block range from their house. Needless to say they are trying to get further away. They've also had leaflets dropped overhead.

They are out of food and diapers, despite having had a stockpile sufficient for close to a week themselves, and nerves are wearing thin as the bombing is far closer than they anticipated, but neighbors are helping one another out, and swapping needed items to keep people able to all stay put until things calm down and they can get to stores and get more, and then for my loved ones, eventually, hopefully, to get to Beirut somehow, and then get out.

Oh Good Grief .. FNC just announced that Shop is in Israel and will be reporting later

You have to admit Pretty Boy Shep is entertaining. He has brought Fox good ratings.

Five days of fighting have given Israel pause to reevaluate the strength of one of its most hardened enemies -- Hizbollah.

Israel having second thoughts? Oh never mind, it's from Reuters.

We are dealing with an Israeli government full of left wing crapweasels. Why are you shocked that they would lose their nerve? Up until now, Olmert has been best known for using his army against unarmed Jewish civilians at Gush Katif and Amona, and for grabbing his ankles the minute he sees a Pali.

I'm surprised he ever started the airstrikes in the first place.

You've probably already answered this, but can you get Fox there?

As an interviewer Wolf Blitzer has to be one of the most inept on TV...that was pathetic. Softball questions...Blitzer is an embarassment to CNN, or should be..

I bet it will be a repeat of Katrina - a lot of whining and moaning, but doing nothing.

Yes, I was hoe for that and I remember Shep put on quite a show.

Joe Lockhart...want[s] to bring news to people in a non-partisan way

Joe Lockhart wants to do no such thing. At least he has never given me any reason to believe it. However, the site bears watching. We'll see how "non-partisan" he wants to be.

Syrians watch Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, seen on a television screen in Damascus, Sunday July 16, 2006 giving a recorded speech on TV Station Al-Manar. Nasrallah said Sunday that his guerrillas were 'in their full strength and power' after a five-day Israeli bombardment, and said the battle had just begun. A tired-looking but confident-talking Nasrallah said on Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV that his group's 'missile stockpiles are still full.' (AP Photo/ Bassem Tellawi)
