Hamas fires rockets at Israel in response

Israel resumed its bombing campaign and ground operations in the territory this week.

Hamas says it's launched three rockets at Israel from Gaza. Israel said one was intercepted and no one was injured. It's the first time Hamas is known to have fired back since Israel launched a new military offensive on Tuesday. Hamas says nearly 600 Palestinians have been killed since Tuesday. We hear from people in Gaza and speak to Israelis.

We hear a conversation with young Russians who discuss the Ukraine war and the recent diplomatic efforts on securing a ceasefire.

A new president of the International Olympic Committee will be elected for the first time since 2013. We get reaction from Africa and speak to our sports reporter.
