巴勒斯坦武装组织哈马斯对以色列发起了多年来最大规模的空袭。哈马斯进攻加沙地带以外的27个地点，除了军事设施，也越过边境对平民进行屠杀，包括一场音乐节的200多名参加者。他们也绑架100多名以色列人作为人质。

以色列已经宣战，并在短短48小时内征召了30万名预备役军人，并且扬言要消灭哈马斯。

哈马斯为什么在这个时候发动大规模的攻击？这场战争会如何改写中东的地缘政治格局？

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和旅居加拿大的以巴关系研究学者兼跨国自由记者王冠云解析以巴冲突。

Israel formally declared war against Hamas and retaliated with huge strikes on cities in the Gaza strip. The Israeli military called up an unprecedented 300,000 reservists within 48 hours.
