On Blogs, YouTube and Flickr, Glimpses of Life in War Zone

From The Wall Street Journal:

"As fighting continues along the Israeli-Lebanese border, a small army of bloggers and photographers are filing digital dispatches.

Though grainy, raw, sometimes unsteady and often unverifiable, footage gives viewers insight into everyday life in the war-torn region. (Warning: Some links include graphic content.) On video-sharing site YouTube1 , young men are awed2 by a nearby Israeli bombing in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. An Israeli family copes3 with Hezbollah rockets raining down on Haifa. A videographer films behind the scenes of a BBC broadcast4. Users have also posted video such as filmed footage from the Israeli Defense Force5."
