Steve Centani of Fox News is reporting live from the top of the hotel, where the FN crew is staying. He just said that this is another attack on a soft target. He said that they have "scared the UN out, scared the Red Cross out,now they are trying to scare the journalists out.....we have decided to stay and report from the roof here."

I am watching too...I am thinking Whooopty do!
Its like throwing a dirt clod at a battleship. All you get is a loud bang and falling glass and you get 15 mins of fame.
Now if the hotel was hit by a 81mm, 105mm, 203mm piece of ARTILLERY, that would be big news...you can clean out entire rooms with that ordinance.
But right now, I think this was nothing to be really concerned about.

Israeli media reports it hit the "Palestine" Hotel. No reports of injuries, light damage to the hotel.
Another source reports it was the Sherton.
A final source says 2 explosions were heard.
