How to make sense of the deadliest day in Israel's history? Saturday's shock cross-border attack has left over 800 dead in Israel, most of them civilians. We ask about the element of surprise and the retaliation that’s so far left more than 560 Palestinians dead and what’s next on Day Three of what may be a very long war.
How did Israel's ironclad security reputation crumble so easily? We ask about Gaza militants who hid in plain sight and a prime minister whose far-right government put a bitter domestic battle to change the constitution over trust in its own military establishment.
What next for Israel, the region and the world? From the role played by Hamas backers Iran and Qatar, to US support and spiking oil prices, what will the return of war in the Middle East mean for the rest of the planet?
