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.
As has been the pattern, the Israeli effort was closely followed by a Palestinian response. This time it was the firing of a mortar at an Israeli community in the Gush Katif bloc. A 20-year-old woman received a shrapnel wound to the leg.
