Israel’s Military Strategy
The BBC’s defence correspondent attempts to piece together Israel’s plan in Gaza.
What will it take to defeat Hamas inside one of the most densely populated place on earth? A long war. That’s the warning from Israel’s leaders.
As Israeli forces take the fight deeper inside Gaza, Lyse is joined by the BBC’s defence correspondent to discuss the strategy for a risky ground war that means more casualties among Israeli soldiers and Palestinian civilians.
