As I franticly tap at my keyboard in the Ramattan Press Agency office, all the Palestinian reporters around me are wearing bullet-proof vests and helmets. They haven’t come in straight from driving a tank – they’ve simply been sitting in front of their computers the whole time. Two floors above, the Reuters offices were recently struck by a rocket, which seriously injured two. Almost all the floors in the building are empty at the moment, and only the most heroic of journalists are still around.
