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.
Today’s panel comprises founding editor David Horovitz and military correspondent Judah Ari Gross, along with host Amanda Borschel-Dan.
Gross gives us an update on the circa 40 rockets that were fired from the Gaza Strip over the weekend. Only six were intercepted by the Iron Dome anti-missile battery -- is that cause for concern? Also, who is taking responsibility for the fire, and who does Israel blame?
The rain of rockets from Gaza is allegedly in retaliation for recent ongoing unrest in Jerusalem. What sparked the long, violent protests and who is to blame?
Finally, we herald the recent victory of Aslan Karatsev over No. 1 player in the world Novak Djokovic at the Serbian Open's semi-finals. Why is this win a loss for Israel?
