Israel - Palestine Update Thread. No hate. Just updates.

Harry Fear just wrote on his facebook that he is on his way home now with footage and stories. I will post a link as soon as he provide one.

Has the internet been shut down in Gaza yet? Any live feeds going at all? All the live feeds I was watching and keeping track of last night have since died.

I have no information on this more than what Harry Fear wrote on his facebook, that the internet and electricity was cut. But as I wrote earlier, he don´t write if it is local for just his building or if the electricity and internet is cut in all of Gaza.

well Reuters just put up a live feed reuters.livestation.com... Looks like electricity is working there. Even in 2009 Israel didn't cut power or the internet. Makes no sense that they would suddenly find the need to do it now.

EDIT: Never mind...they took the stream down.

I'm seeing reports on twitter of air raid sirens going off in Rishon L'Tzion near Tel Aviv. They are being tagged as "code red".

Thanks for the update, I dont have twitter/never used it, do I need an account to view?

Not at all.

Here are a couple of Twitter searches I having going. These are based on hashtags that people use to track events and subjects.

#IDF

#Israelunderfire

#Gazaunderfire

And another good research is a website called topsy.com. Just go to the home page and put in a search term and it will return all kinds of social media hits. It is also sortable by type, date, etc.

If you need any help, let me know.

Only if the twitter accounts require you to have one. Some people have accounts protected from the public.

Ok, good to know!

Harry Fear will appear on BBC in about 15-20min reporting from inside Gaza.

He may be informative, but he has a big POV against Gaza. I also don't see him as very credible. I am a freelance reporter. If I were in Gaza, my main focus would be what's happening outside, not seeing how much I can put myself on cam. If you are a real reporter/journalist, then you would go out of your way to get everything you can relating to this. So why doesn't he point the camera outside at all?

I cant answer for him why he doesnt, but right now, he is one of the few, if not the only one that I know of that is reporting live in person from Gaza. I leave my personal view out of this.

BBC news just reported that a rocket has hit the southern outskirts of Tel Aviv,no injuries reported.
Rocket is believed to have travelled approx 30 miles.

I'm pretty sure he is pro-Gaza. He tweeted this earlier:

Harry Fear @harryfear
The British Consulate in Gaza has invited me to leave. I refused. I will stand with the Palestinian people.

I agree with the reporting part of it. Document the story, not yourself. (unless of course you're shooting a docu about yourself.)

3 Israelis killed:
