Israel Launches Gaza Operation: Gideon's Chariots II | Russia-Ukraine War: Chokepoint Donetsk

On Front Lines this week: Just as we bring you this broadcast viewers, Israel is preparing for what could be the most decisive battle of the war. Operation Gideon's Chariots II, greenlit less than 24 hours ago by Defence Minister Katz, aims to capture Gaza City, Hamas's last stronghold. This comes after the first Gideon's Chariots campaign faltered, leaving hostages in limbo and Hamas fighters still embedded.Now, 60,000 reservists are being called in. Evacuations are underway. And time is running out for both the military and the political leadership. What is this operation really about? What went wrong before? And what does Netanyahu's 'Greater Israel' vision have to do with it all? We go inside the war room…and onto the battlefield. We now shift our focus eastwards where in Ukraine's fight for survival, one region stands at the heart of both history and strategy: Donetsk. It has deep coal mines and hardened fortress lines. In fact, it's the prize Vladimir Putin wants in exchange for peace. But giving it up could cost Ukraine everything.
