IDF installs web cams at Kerem Shalom crossing point

The IDF has installed two web cameras at the Kerem Shalom crossing point into Gaza. Those of you who are so inclined can watch the web cams all day long and count how many trucks of humanitarian aid pass into Gaza. Then you can go get a life :-)

You can find the web cams here. Since the page is entirely in Hebrew, I will tell you that the box on the left is for watching trucks with humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip, while the box on the right is for watching trucks with humanitarian aid entering the Kerem Shalom crossing point.

If any of you happens to see shooting on one of the screens, please call me immediately.

Here they are.....

Trucks entering and leaving? BFD. Put cameras on the trucks so I can see what happens once they're actually IN.

and on edit: And while theyre at it, how about letting some journalists in. :eyes:

2. Capricorn One redux?

That was the movie that showed how the US faked the moon landing.

4. Al Jazeera has several journalists reporting from Gaza, as does CNN and The London Times

Pretty sure there are some others as well.

And, of course, Al Jazeera is broadcasting live from Gaza around the clock.

5. I'm guessing that they were already in...

before Israel stopped admitting journalists. Are they still defying the supreme court ruling? :shrug:

6. That is correct

I do not believe that they have implemented the Israeli Supreme Court ruling.

Although this article from today (Tuesday) says:

Only yesterday did the IDF relent and allow a handful of foreign journalists into Gaza, but only as embedded reporters under Israeli control.

Cast Lead began? CNN International, Al Jazeera, AP, BBC and others who employ Palestinian journalists?
