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.

Political and legal correspondent Carrie Keller-Lynn and Military correspondent Judah Ari Gross join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for a packed episode.

Israelis awoke to news that Syria had fired an anti-aircraft missile into Israel. Gross gives context and explains its significance.

Next, Keller-Lynn speaks about her recent interview with former director-general of the Justice Ministry Emi Palmor, who claims her phone was hacked using NSO Pegasus spyware in retribution for her role in investigating police.

Staying with powerful Israeli women, Keller-Lynn sheds light on the mysterious Gali Baharav-Miara, who was recently confirmed as Israel’s new attorney-general, following Avichai Mandelblitt.

Gross takes us into the inquiry into the tragic preventable deaths of Major Ofek Aharon and Major Itamar Elharar in a friendly fire incident on January 12. What are lessons learned?
