but great find OP

very interesting.

I can't hear any sound now, Maybe because its cause there's no fight or bombing going on at the moment, Lets hope so anyway for the people of Gazza.
Great find OP, Starred and flagged.

EDIT: I take it back I could hear no sound because my little girl turned off my speakers.

Background sound must be drones. I read somewhwere (no link, sorry), that Israel is starting attack phase 3, which means going deeper into Gaza city with tanks and helicopters and that means lots of civilian casualties.

I wonder how long this cam is online? They just recently attacked mediabuilding in Gaza, where PressTV had an office.

Yes, that's the sound of several predator drones in the skies.

Spooky...

The drone of the aircraft is part of the psychological warfare. They probably hear it 24/7.

Great find

Great find.

The drones are a spooky sound, I wonder how long it will be before they locate this camera and take it out?

ATS always impresses me.

Thanks for the link, much appreciated. I find it very strange and humbling just sitting here, watching that picture, just waiting. I can only imagine what that silence must be like for the people of Gaza.

It must be Truly terrifying just to be sitting there waiting for your time. You know, just waiting for a massive bomb to rip through your house and kill you and all your family.

Just take a moment to think of those of people, huddled together in their homes. My heart goes out to them.

What media player are you guys using to view this?

I'm clicking on the link, it opens up winamp for about 2 seconds then it just closes immediately.

1.) Open Windows Media player ) I am assuming you have windows xp or vista and WM is pre-installed)

2.) right click on the top of the player, and choose File > Open url, then paste the url given in the OP. Click ok

The site isn't a secret. You can find their address and phone number here. I doubt anyone is going to bomb the place.

It's not completely like that. I saw a few cars driving around earlier. One even stopped and turned on it's hazard lights. Most people are probably asleep right now. (Except for the fighters)

Those of you who can't view this live cam you might need special codecs for your media players and be able to download any thing the media player might need.

I wonder what those lights in the distance are. Israeli military?

Excellent find!!! Star and Flag for you sir.

Thanks RocKukko for the cam link, think i heard some distant explosions a few minutes ago not sure though.

I've been watching for a while now. Lights recently went out in the immediate vicinity and I definitely heard the distinct rotor of a chopper.

Those predators are eerie.

Listening to it through headphones I can hear much more, you can hear an occasional boom, dogs barking, someone shouting, some kind of horn, and that damned drone circling.

Wow.

I can imagine what it is like now to be there, yet for those who are I imagine it must be totally frightening.

Sadly, too much visibility with these camers, the Israelis do not like being watched, especially from live cameras, I hope I am wrong but these cameras could become military targets, especially if they are in areas where Israeli forces plan to go.

Mate, if you could sleep through that hell, then you're a tougher man than me. Maybe as single bloke, it could be possible to sleep, but if you've got a children then I can only imagine it must be a living hell. I can't even imagine what it must be like. I live a very safe peaceful life.

It's times like these that make me feel very fortunate to be living in a stable country. Life is just one big lottery.

Wow, the explosions and then you can hear the dogs barking, things seem to be heating up, i think phase 3 is starting, poor people.

Obviously the camera man can't sleep either. He's moving around to hit targets.

I definitely am starting to hear more gun fire or small explosions.

It's creepy to be sitting here watching and waiting. I can't imagine what it must be like to actually be in that mess.

Wow predators are making really low passes.

How could you sleep through that noise, its terrible.. Did anyone else hear the helicopter that just flew over the building?

Yep.. it was either the chopper or a predator making a low pass, though they have no real reason to make a low pass like that.

I'm confused though. Does this guy/girl have multiple cameras? Because the views keep changing.

The noise reminds me of the old WWII films you see. The German bomber that used to terrify the citizens and the allied forces. The stuka bomber.

a lot more activity now, more lights comming on, and i just saw another one of the cams, and just as i am typing this the third on came on, planes/drones/aircraft can be heard, thought i heard and helicopter too at some point, heard something that reminded me of explosions, but aren't sure though.. and at some point i also heard this sound like a bomb alert or something? if you guys know what i mean.. this is scary, but interesting to look at, even if i'm sitting in little denmark ( )
