FOXNews.com On The Scene

Reporting From Gaza

545 am EET: The sirens go off in our hotel.  I’m so tired but I know I need to go to the bathroom, sit in the tub, and close the bathroom door. No time to go to the saferoom.  I wonder if the rest of our FOX News crew made it to their bathrooms or if they just rolled over.

3pm: A rocket makes a direct hit on a home in Ashkelon about 15 miles from Gaza.

4pm: We’re at the home.  Dudi and Ian checkout the site and are optimistic we can go LIVE from the 2nd floor of the house where the rocket hit.

They scramble to make it work, but that requires borrowing power from the house next door.  At one point the security guard who has taken over the home refused to let them back in the house where all our gear has been set up.  Dudi says something in Hebrew.  Somehow he managed to get us back in.

5pm: We’re broadcasting live for “America’s Newsroom”. Producer Ian Rafferty and Cameraman Dudi make the impossible happen.  They manage to get us up LIVE from the middle of the rubble.  President Bush has just wrapped up his final press conference.  He says Israel has a right to defend itself as long as rockets keep coming.

After the home we’re at was hit by a Grad rocket,  I talk to Bill Hemmer about how these rockets are smuggled through underground tunnels from Egypt to Gaza. Israel says for any ceasefire agreement to happen they want the tunnels stopped.  They took out 20 yesterday.

6pm: We’ve shot a standup for “Special Report” tonight and are heading back to the Gaza border for more LIVES.  Tune in tonight to Special Report with Bret Baier.

Keep checking back for the latest EXCLUSIVE coverage from Gaza!

Keep up the good work, and try to get some interviews with detainees or refugees. It is important to hear what people on the ground are thinking about the war.

I would also like to know if most of the Palestinians approve of what Hamas is doing? Do they really wasnt peace or do they want to see Israel destroyed?
