Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday.
Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian, diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and Arab affairs reporter Gianluca Pacchiani join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today’s episode.
We are in day two of Operation Swords of Iron, which began Saturday morning with Hamas’s infiltration by land, sea and air. There are hundreds of Israeli civilians and military personnel dead, and thousands wounded. It is a war that some are calling Israel’s 9/11, Israel’s Pearl Harbor.
On today’s podcast, we are updated by Fabian on what is happening in the north and south of the country. Pacchiani briefs us on reactions from the Gaza Strip and West Bank. And Berman turns to the international stage with statements from Arab and Muslim countries.
