Daily Briefing Apr 9 – Timeline of terror: 3 deaths, dozens of rockets from 3 fronts

Editor David Horovitz and military correspondent Emanuel Fabian reconstruct the sequence of events that led to escalating violence on Israel’s borders over the holiday weekend

Today, 1:02 pm  

Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday.

Editor David Horovitz and military correspondent Emanuel Fabian join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today’s episode.

In the past several days, Israel has seen attacks on most fronts and throughout the country. Two Israeli sisters from the West Bank settlement of Efrat, 20-year-old Maia Dee, and 15-year-old Rina Dee, were shot dead in a terror attack on Friday. Their mother, Lucy, is in critical condition. Separately, Italian tourist Alessandro Parini was killed in a car ramming attack on Friday night. Fabian unravels the sequence of events.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant was ostensibly fired two weeks ago by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, although he continues to serve in the role. Fabian weighs in on whether this instability is emboldening Israel’s neighbors.

Horovitz discusses how Iran, now cozying up to Saudi Arabia, is a key player in the current escalation.
