This episode of Battle Lines was released on Friday 27th of October, before Israel’s overnight strikes on Gaza.

NB: This episode of Battle Lines contains descriptions of extreme violence and murder, plus details of antisemitism. We would not advise listening to this episode with children present.

In this episode of Battle Lines, we speak to Defence Editor Danielle Sheridan and Middle East correspondent Nataliya Vasilyeva about their reporting on the ground in Israel and the West Bank.

They talk about the harrowing experience of watching a screening of Hamas murders, speaking to locals in the West Bank where tension with Israel and clashes with settlers is increasing & attending a Shabbat dinner in Tel Aviv with empty chairs for those kidnapped into Gaza.

Also, Senior Foreign Correspondent Sophia Yan brings us the latest from Turkey and reports on a wave of anti-semitism in China and Brussels Editor Joe Barnes explains some of the lessons the IDF are taking from the war in Ukraine.
