An Israeli soldier grieves for Sgt. Yonatan Sharabi, 19, killed in action in southern Lebanon, during his funeral at the Petah Tikvah cemetery in central Israel. Israeli warplanes pounded areas north and south of Lebanon, killing at least 38 people, as Israel's largest city Tel Aviv braced for a rain of retaliatory Hezbollah rocket fire.

Thanks, Karl.
Nice photo to start with, Karl.
I really wanted to capture the photo that was on the front page of the L.A. Times today -- did you see it? -- but as I found it on AP site and LAT site, could not be copied.
However, I can link the LAT front page for anyone who's interested:

Anyone who has fotki or photoshop could copy and paste.

They're all over the map, so it depends when you tune it. Sometimes they're leaning toward Israel. Other times, they're leaning toward Hezbollah. Their reporter in Tyre, Lebanon is particularily irritating. But they do have more live coverage from the region than the other networks.
I purchased a subscription to the CNN Pipeline broadband product - it's the only way to get live coverage after midnight - with CNN International. I tried to get BBC World, but they are not selling access in the US. There are rumors they will be on DirecTV eventually. I hope DirecTV will carry Sky News too.
He doesn't look happy to be there.

LBATP - Rats, I was lurking before and after the ping and could've posted, but I was reading! Thanks!
Thanks. FOX has been so-so but I have the feeling that most people don't give a rip. They watch their soap operas and eat their big macks while the Middle East is practically blowing up. Americans better wake up, don't you think?!
u-got-mail,,,
Thanks for the report about CNN. I just hate it when I have to turn there to see what's going on - when FOX flakes out on me and they are giggling about some meaningless crap while the whole world is going down in flames.

Lots of people won't give a rip, so it's up for us to watch for us and them....
Wow! Mixed emotions on that bunch of photos, for sure. Sadness, grief, joy...

I find FOX has great live coverage.
I watch combat and missile attacks from before 4amm on live.
Their field guys are the best.
CNN is nothing but AlJazeera West.
This guy is just totally f'n clueless.
Somebody needs to lock him in the UN broom closet until further notice. He's SO insignificant it's pathetic.
