The Times of Israel Daily Briefing

Open-ended IDF operation targets terror 'city of refuge' Jenin


Listen Later

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 Knesset correspondent Carrie Keller-Lynn join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode.

Israeli military forces launched a major operation in the West Bank city of Jenin early this morning. Large numbers of Israeli ground forces were seen entering tcity and refugee camp in an open-ended ground operation. Fabian talks about the stated goal of the operation, how long it's been in the works and what the forecast is so far. Berman discusses its potential diplomatic implications.

Back in April, the Hezbollah terror group set up two tents set up in an area along the “Blue Line” between Lebanon and Israel, one of which was reportedly removed last night. What do these tents symbolize and how have they been kept out of the news?

A massive day of anti-judicial overhaul protests is underway, with large-scale actions from Haifa in the north and on down. Keller-Lynn explains what is in store for us at Ben-Gurion Airport.

On Thursday’s Daily Briefing, Keller-Lynn discussed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s interview with the Wall Street Journal and his statement that the override clause is off the table. But new reports seem to indicate otherwise. What is she hearing?

And finally, Keller-Lynn explains last week's manoeuver to continue ultra-Orthodox army deferment -- even as the law that provides them expires.

Discussed articles include:

IDF strikes in Jenin, launches ‘widescale effort against terror’ in West Bank city

Hezbollah said to evacuate one of the 2 tents it set up on Israeli side of Blue Line

Overhaul critics seek show of force in afternoon protest at Ben Gurion Airport
