Livecam from Gaza

If a tactical nuke was used it would be a smaller explosion probably taking out a square mile or so. However, any nuclear detonation causes a pretty strong EMP. The camera would have been fried along with all the electricity in the area.

More than likely it was a Paveway or 1000lb/2000lb JDAM dropped on a building.

Now that was a nice blast.

Not too far from camera position. Like I said, these guys are doing a tremendous job keeping it on the air. But honestly, they do not have anywhere else to go at the moment.

Lots of smoke coming up, I think that came from the very loud boom, more than hour ago... Barrage fire continues in many different places. I think that this rooftop is almost middle of the town... Do somebody know the location where we at?

DU IS PART OF ISRAELI ARSENAL

U.S. arms make up the major part of the Israeli arsenal and Israel has been the number one recipient of U.S. arms aid for decades. These U.S. weapons include the M1 Abrams tank—which fires DU shells and is armored with DU-reinforced metal. The “Apache” and the Cobra helicopter gun ships are also equipped to fire DU shells. Since this latest Intifada started, the U.S. has shipped Israel “the newest and most advanced multi-mission attack helicopters in the U.S. inventory,” as reported in the Jerusalem Post. These were Apache helicopters.

The IAC delegation witnessed Israeli attack helicopters, which people described to them as “Apache” helicopters from the U.S., firing shells and rockets at targets in and around Ramallah on Nov. 1. They then examined a small office used by the Fatah organization that the projectiles hit and destroyed.

The following day they saw machine guns on tanks being fired at Palestinian youths in Ramallah armed only with rocks and slingshots. They also visited a Fatah office near Nablus that Israeli rockets had hit the night before.

The IAC delegation gathered up shell casings and metal fragments in these areas. As they were preparing to leave from Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, members of the IAC delegation were stopped, searched and interrogated. The shell casings and metal fragments were confiscated. While this prevented the IAC from arranging its own tests, it made them even more suspicious that the Israeli forces were using DU shells and trying to hide it.

Because of its great density, DU is also used to stabilize or balance airplanes and missiles, including the Tomahawk Cruise missile. When the missile explodes, or should the plane crash, the DU burns and is released into the air just as it is when DU shells hit steel. DU is also used to shield tanks, including the M1 Abrams tank used by the U.S. and Israel. After 32 continuous days, or 64 12-hour days, the amount of radiation a tank driver receives to his head from overhead armor will exceed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's standard for public whole-body annual exposure to man-made sources of radiation.

Around 10:30 11:00 ish tonight! Sun up will be around then..
You will know before sunlight hits, you will hear the morning prayers!

That rooster should be going off any min now..
Ah yes, and there he goes! Right on que!

Its about 4:40ish 3 AM there right now, as I type. Its been another ruff night.. Lets all hope tommorow brings better days for this part of the world.

Its different now.. As we are all there with them.. this could be our home. You have to think how that would make you feel.
I did my part tonight, and informed my little neck of the woods..
Passed out links, and got everyone informed.. Gladly people where amazed at what they saw.

The average person around here didnt really understand it was on going fighting like this..
They thought it was one attack. Then nothing for hours and hours.. Then one single attack, then nothing.
They didnt realize its an on going WAR.. Blasts every 20 mins.. Machine gun fire every few mins.. Blasts off in the distance every few mins.

Im glad I changed some minds tonight.. They are calling into Congress, and we all wrote letters to Charlie our Governer.. Will it make any difference? IDK.. more than likely not.. But we are trying!

Make some coffee.

Thanks!
I just heard the rooster.

I can't imagine only Hamas were killed in this...

Edit: I was looking back in my recorded videos and saw this. I don't know if this is what was being discussed about earlier but it really gives a good idea of the size of some of these explosions.

elitegamer posted this link earlier

time and date Gaza


We might want to repost that every few pages, it was a bugger to find.

sun rises in 3 1/2 hours. I think the call to prayer is in a little over an hour if they do it at the same time each day, which I assume they do.

ok, how do you record videos???? and how do you post what you just posted?

That is a cool trick.

Thats fantastic! I thought of you a little bit ago as I was cruzin youtube. They were talking about the feed we are watching, and how it has effected so many Americans. They said thousands were going to Washigton to protest. Apparently there was a march there a week or two ago over this, but I guess they are going to do it again.

Maybe that loud buzz is just as a sort of psychological warfare.

to try to break the spirit..no one can sleep well with a buzz all night long.

kinda how america uses loud metal and rock music in iraq and afghanistan

Hearing those explosions and the planes flying around...that is some scary stuff.

Agh...

That was weird just now, streaks of fire sort of shot down. That didn't look precise at all.
