Rocket attacks and civilian casualty data Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

Vital Perspective has an interesting post that shows the Israeli civilian casualties data, graphs the Hezbollah rocket attacks, and also has some photos of the Haifa rail depot attack.

Plenty of video footage of the Israel/Lebanon conflict on the site too.

Tropical Storm Chris Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006
