NBC Cameraman Yossi Greenberg tried the direct approach: he raced through an open gate at 80 m.p.h. in a rented car. This prompted a guard to fire over his head with an M-16 automatic rifle to try to scare him back. Later, Greenberg, like other reporters, took advantage of an opening in the 60-mile-long border fence into Lebanon.
