A male news anchor appeared on screen from the safety of Aljazeera's studio in Doha as two female correspondents in full war gear reported live from both sides of the Lebanon-Israel frontline.

This is the new face of war reporting Arab audiences have seen since Israel launched its attack on Lebanon on July 12 in an attempt to defeat Hezbollah fighters.

Young female reporters beat their male colleagues to the forefront of the war zone.

Arab women correspondents, including Iraqis, have increasingly been reporting for Arab television outlets from Iraq, and a number were killed doing their job.
