Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world.

Today is day 101 of the war. Diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for this one-on-one episode.

Berman was inside the Gaza Strip yesterday with a reserves parachute unit. We hear what he saw and get a sense of the morale of the troops and Berman's perspective on their preparedness to take on the vast tunnel network.

Hamas also runs a network of operatives in Europe commanded by terror leaders in Lebanon, Israel said Saturday as its intelligence agencies released new details on the Gaza-based organization’s attempts to attack Israeli and Jewish targets abroad. Berman weighs in.
