Daily Briefing Oct. 7: Special report — Israel at war after shock Hamas infiltration
Editor David Horovitz on Yesh Atid head Yair Lapid’s call for an emergency unity government; military correspondent Emanuel Fabian gives a timeline of today’s events
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 David Horovitz and military correspondent Emanuel Fabian join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today’s special episode.
Since just after dawn Saturday morning, Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip have launched massive rocket barrages at southern and central Israel. The attacks are combined with an assault by dozens of gunmen who infiltrated Israel by air, land and sea, clashing with Israel Defense Force troops, hunting down civilians and taking dozens of hostages.
Fabian tells us how the orchestrated attack unfolded and where we stand now. Horovitz fills us in on the political impact that is, as well, an ongoing story.
