Israeli airstrikes on Gaza continue

Airstrikes on Gaza are continuing, with a ground offensive widely expected as Israel steps up its retaliation after Hamas attack from Gaza. The Israeli military says it has also carried out strikes into Lebanon after projectiles were fired from the north. The militant group Hezbollah said it was responsible for that rocket and artillery attack on three Israeli posts. We hear from a spokesperson for the Israel Defence Forces.

Also in the programme: we hear from the daughter of the imprisoned Iranian human rights activist, Narges Mohammadi, who has won the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize; and the new film that traces the history of Klezmer music.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss this and more are Sanam Vakil, who is the director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at the Chatham House think tank, and Alan Posener, a columnist from the German newspaper Die Welt.
