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.

An Israeli soldier was moderately hurt in a stabbing attack near the West Bank city of Hebron Friday afternoon just before Shabbat, close to the settlement of Kiryat Arba, the military and medics said. The attacker was shot dead. What is his status now?

Russia has demanded that Iran and its militias withdraw from positions across Syria, amid an apparent uptick in airstrikes attributed to Israel in recent weeks, according to a report on Friday. What does this mean for Israel?

Sunday morning the Hamas terror group announced that it had executed five Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including two for “collaboration” with Israel. What else do we know about these two men?

New Israeli rules set to take effect next week require foreigners entering the West Bank to declare if they have “formed a couple” with a Palestinian and are in a relationship with them. What is the intention here?

The final leader of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev died last Tuesday. Horovitz tells us more who this man was to the Jewish People.

Discussed articles include:

Israeli soldier stabbed near Hebron, moderately hurt; attacker shot dead

Russia said to tell Iran to leave Syrian sites amid rise in apparent Israeli strikes

Hamas executes 5 Palestinians in Gaza, including 2 for ‘collaborating’ with Israel

Foreign West Bank visitors must tell Israel if they ‘form a couple’ with Palestinian

On Jews and Israel, Gorbachev’s legacy is under threat
