3 APC's and either a fuel truck or a MLRS, I can't tell..

Those are APCs not tanks. There is a big difference, but an APC is more than enough for Gaza. But that's a bad sign.

That's an MLRS in the travel position.

I just heard a number of what sounded like tanks firing. They sounded like artillery pieces going off. Didn't really sound like explosions, sounded like the camera was near a gun firing. Not sure what that was. Could have been rockets launching.

Sounded a bit like a 40mm. Only a half dozen or so shots. Might have been small rockets?

Nailed it. Thanks.

The Reuters feed is a really good one because it has a good view of the city and it sounds to me like it's right INSIDE where the IDF is/are going to be massing their forces for a ground assault. You can clearly hear what has to be convoys of equipment being constantly relocated/moved.

I agree... the feed will very likely be shut down once the word gets given for the front line troops to start rolling in.

Any idea where these reporters are? I'd like to look at some recent Sat imagery.

Well the good news is they look comfy with their lawn chairs out. Don't look in a hurry to go anywhere.

Yes, breakfast, and there is a fight over the one pair of binoculars issued only to officers, and somewhere in the background sit four or five guys trying hard not to get caught playing cards.
