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.

Zman Yisrael editor Biranit Goren and diplomacy reporter Lazar Berman join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode.

We are in day 33 of the war with Hamas and the rocket attacks in the north and south are unabated. Berman updates with what’s happening in the tit-for-tat from Lebanon and explains how the war in Gaza is progressing -- for now.

There has been a sharp uptick in Gazans from the northern strip making their way south. Berman explains what we are seeing and its significance.

We hear about the diplomatic frontline and which ambassador has just been pulled.

Berman gives a sad update on the Gazan mothers whose children have undergone surgery here and are stuck here during the war.

Goren takes a step back and discusses the dangers when those taken captive in Gaza are lumped together as a topic, "the hostages."

As the world marks the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the night of broken glass, in addition to the constant Holocaust denial, there is on social media an increased presence of “massacre deniers.” Goren explains the dangers here.
