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 episode.

In the past several days, Israel has seen attacks on most fronts and throughout the country. Two Israeli sisters from the West Bank settlement of Efrat, 20-year-old Maia Dee, and 15-year-old Rina Dee, were shot dead in a terror attack on Friday. Their mother, Lucy is in critical condition. Separately, Italian tourist Alessandro Parini was killed in a car ramming attack on Friday night. Fabian unravels the sequence of events.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant was ostensibly fired by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, although he continues to serve in the role. Fabian weighs in on whether this instability is emboldening Israel's neighbors.

Horovitz discusses how Iran, now cozying up to Saudi Arabia, is another actor in the region.

Almost three weeks ago, Justice Minister Yariv Levin gave an interview to the pro-Netanyahu TV station Channel 14, which in a recent op-ed Horovitz called “astonishing” and “astounding.” Hear why.
