Israel launches air strikes in response to Hamas attack

Israel has responded to Hamas' unprecedented attacks by launching air strikes on Gaza. More than two hundred Palestinians and more than a hundred Israelis have so far been killed, and dozens are being held hostage.

We hear from residents of Israeli towns and villages under attack from Hamas and others in Gaza. And a former head of Israel's intelligence agency Mossad tells us his thoughts on the agency's failings.
