About this listen

Calev Ben David and Ruth Marks Eglash record remotely from their homes as Operation Roaring Lion enters its first days. The Jerusalem Post journalists break down what Israel and the US have achieved so far in their strikes on Iran, from the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei to the dismantling of Iran's missile defenses.

They discuss daily life under ballistic missile fire, including the deadly strike in Beit Shemesh that killed nine, and why Israel's air defenses are effective but not foolproof. The conversation also covers Iran's surprise attacks on Gulf states, Cyprus, and the regional fallout reshaping alliances across the Middle East.

Ruth shares insights from her interview with Israel's First Lady, Michal Herzog, on the ongoing denial of October 7th sexual violence, while Calev examines Trump's political challenges, including a looming War Powers Act vote in Congress.

Recorded between active sirens, this episode captures a historic and uncertain moment in the region.
