Livecam from Gaza

reply to post by TheKingsVillian


Whatever is being said over that loudspeaker, it is not Arabic, I think its Hebrew, and I have no idea how IDF could possibly be sending messages that deep into the city. The other morning, I heard it and thought IDF had already made it into the middle of the city, and were driving around. Are there loudspeakers that loud?

I didn't hear the Hebrew/loud speakers.... Shame.

I have been watching/listening for the last few hours. Seems they keep focusing on the same couple smoking buildings. But there has been a lot more BOOMs and machine guns in the background than the last couple days...

What an unreal find!

I hope this gives people an idea of what it is really like there, instead of relying on the MSM for information.

My prayers to all involved.

Does any one know how close they are to our camera man?

Sky News in the UK was reporting the IDF are pushing even further into the city, so I would imagine they're not far.

Speaking of which, i don't know if the footage has been released to other networks, but on Sky News this morning, the IDF had released footage from the FLIR on their drones showing how if a Hamas target moves into a civilian population, they move the laser away to divert the missile and avoid civillian casualties.

Anyone else reckon they've only just started doing this after everyones gone mental at the atrocities they've been committing?

I definitely could hear the shouting a couple times. But really I couldn't tell what language it was in. It definitely seems like there is a lot going on right now.

Well, looks like the cam went down again.

First the video, then the sound several minutes later. Followed by the logo.

Hope they get it back up soon. It was sounding pretty chaotic nearby

Yea, i got nothing...

Lets hope the best for whoever was manning that camera. I mean thyre in a war zone and i wouldnt blame em for packing up and getting TFO

didnt seem that far from the warzone but at a distance enough to where you really couldnt get a glimpse of the battle...which is no safe zone but its a good place to be compared to those unfortunate enough to be at the fighting lines. There was a chopter hovering over for awhile at about 9 O'clock eastern time. It wasnt attacking or anything but it was too dark to tell what it was doing, except just floating over the city in the distance. The last images I saw before it went down were alot of smoke coming from a building and it looked like Israel was getting closer.

Lets hope this ends soon.

Youtube has changed the scope of war forever.
Now instead of banning all media, you get video from the frontline showing kids blown to pieces and stuff. In the past you would only 'hear' about this. Now you can see with your own eyes.

I think the cameras have been blocked from sending Its saying there is now an error / lock in place.

I hope they get out if they need to.

Edit to correct. They are broadcasting through another server. Only stills at the moment.

Respects

I have a question to pose , since Ramattan is Hamas news channel, does this make them enemy combatants to the IDF?

Ramattan is not a Hamas news channel! It's like saying Al Jazeera belongs to Iraqi terrorist groups.

They are there already, we saw them fighting on the feed last night at around 11-12pm GMT. Speaking of Al Jazeera I've been watching their satellite TV news channel in the UK this morning, they have journalists on the ground in Gaza. The emergency services are still unable to go to certain areas due to the fighting and booby traps but they believe many civilians are lying wounded and dead in the rubble of buildings. There are many orphaned and injured children in hospitals, one father of a boy said, "he is crying because of the smell of his wounds" - they want to be able to leave Gaza and receive quality medial care. The one bit of good news: aid trucks have just crossed the border carrying much needed supplies for the Palestinian people.

IDF reservists have been called in too, I expect we'll see what horror unfolds later on the feed.

i have a live cam feed up and working but its from the same link but i dont know where in gaza they are set up

Seems to be from a totally diffirent area. Seems more peacefull there, although hard to tell with no sound.

respects

Working for me atm, but there's no sound just video, and it's eerily still no movement, nothing at all, except one car drove past. Weird to say the least.

Looking at that feed, Im sure the tall building ahead to the left is the building where one of the original feeds were coming from?


respects

There's a couple people on that rooftop..... They keep moving, looking around, hiding, peeking... I wonder if they are snipers? Wish there was sound.. omg what is going on?
