About this episode
What will it take to defeat Hamas inside one of the most densely populated place on earth? A long war. That’s the warning from Israel’s leaders.
As Israeli forces take the fight deeper inside Gaza, Lyse is joined by the BBC’s defence correspondent to discuss the strategy for a risky ground war that means more casualties among Israeli soldiers and Palestinian civilians.
