Mary Hanna, operations manager of the Michigan Peace Team, a Lansing-based group which does peace work in Palestine, is worried about Palestinian journalist Sameh Habeeb. On Tuesday afternoon about 2:45 p.m. she was talking with Habeeb through an instant messaging client. She asked him if he was safe, to which he replied: 

NO WE ARE NOT SAFE. ROCKET IS GOING OVER MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW

At that point, Hanna reports, the connection went dead. Habeeb has not been heard from since. He has been updating his Facebook page and sending daily war updates from inside Gaza, and neither has been updated yet today.

Michigan Messenger interviewed Habeeb early on in the new war.

Hanna does report that a missing translator the group had expressed fear about still has not checked in, but through the grapevine they have heard the translator is alive and safe.
