CNN reporting media blackout in Israel. This is either to 1) prevent Hizbullah from using live television feeds to act as spotters for arty rockets or 2) there is some impending military action they want to keep quiet.

I wonder if it's to prevent the media from filming rescue helicopters? Do we know any more about the media blackout?

no haven't heard anything else about the blackout, anybody else?
