Daily Briefing Oct. 31 – How Israel thinks the next conflict will be different

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.

Editor-in-chief David Horovitz and military correspondent Judah Ari Gross are on today’s podcast, hosted by Raoul Wootliff.

On today’s show, we start with a look at the week-long IDF national exercise beginning today, testing the response to massive barrages of rockets, precision missiles, and multiple chemical attacks.

We assess the recent allegations of hacking by Iran against Israel — and by Israel against Iran.

We take a look at the Glasgow climate conference, which begins today and which prime minister Naftali Bennett is flying to this evening.

And finally, we hear from Horovitz about his recent trip to the UK, where he got to see Van Gogh’s Wheatstacks and what is claimed to be the world’s oldest constantly used synagogue.

Discussed articles include:
