Israel/Hamas War

Immediately after Israel launched its surprise aerial assault against Gaza militants, on Dec. 27, 2008, I rushed down to the border area. I stayed there for most of the following three weeks reporting on the battles inside the strip and on the heavy rocket attacks on Israeli towns and cities. During this time, I also did dozens of radio and broadcast hits for AP and its American affiliate stations.
