Israel’s 9/11 – Reporting from the Homefront – Observations of Reporters on the Ground in Israel

Since Hamas viciously killed more than 1,200 Israelis, unleashed brutal sexual assaults, and dragged away some 240 hostages, global focus has increasingly turned to the situation in Gaza as Israel tries to destroy Hamas and force the hostages’ release. But the war still has profound effects within Israel amid continuing rocket attacks, mass evacuations, military call-ups, advocacy for hostages, and grief for those killed on October 7th. Helping us understand wartime life for Israelis are three Israeli-American journalists: TV correspondent Nicole Zedeck of i24 and freelance reporters Michele Chabin and Hillel Kuttler. Moderating the discussion is Dr. Ken Stein, the CIE President and Emory University Professor Emeritus of Middle Eastern history and political science.
