Some Sunday morning updates: will Syria jump in the ring?

Syria issues a statement that it will intervene if the conflict continues: "If Israel invades Lebanon over ground and comes near to us, Syria will not sit tight. She will join the conflict. We have cooperation forces on alert. If Israeli troops provoke us, Damascus will act to guarantee the national security of Syrian territory."

"But It's Israel!" A Fox News reporter in the Gaza Strip was shot at by Israel. Check out the footage-- and the anchors' reaction. By the way, Electronic Intifada and Electronic Lebanon are great resources-- both bring together news analysis and on-the-ground reports with an emphasis on the voices of Palestinian and Lebanese people.

And the San Francisco Chronicle reports on Israel's extensive advanced planned for this operation and explains why Hezbollah's kidnappings were an excuse.
