Truth and understanding
The Media Line's intrepid correspondents are in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Pakistan providing first-person reporting.
They all said they cover it.
We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
No Israeli civilians or security forces were injured during the clashes, but an Israeli bus was hit near the tomb.
It was the first visit by a group of Israelis since late June when Palestinian gunmen opened fire on pilgrims to the site, injuring two Israeli civilians and an IDF commander.
