On 6th October 2023, over 3500 revellers collected in the Western Negev desert in Israel for the Supernova music Festival.

For those in India, the visuals from Israel were reminiscent of the 26/11 attacks on Mumbai. News9 reached out to a survivor of 26/11 and a retired Lt. Colonel of the National Security Guard to understand how they see the attack on Israel in light of personal experiences.

When Hamas terrorists struck Israel, kibbutz, a type of farming commune next to the border, took the worst hit. When the Israeli army was able to secure the area, they found men, women, and children slaughtered. The scale of brutality was unprecedented.

Public opinion in the Arab world isn't necessarily in sync with governments. This was evident when Saudi Arabia's keenness for normalising relations with Israel wasn't shared by the Arab people. Can there be a convergence of opinions while the Israel-Hamas war creates turmoil in West Asia?

Hamas' massive tunnel network beneath Gaza is the biggest challenge that Israeli forces face in their offensive against Hamas. The terror group claims that the network expands around 500 kms. The IDF asserts that the tunnels are used by Hamas to attack Israel using Gaza civilians as human shields. What are these challenges that the IDF faces? Watch to find out.

The Russia-Ukraine war is entering its 20th month. The Israel-Hamas conflict in West Asia is threatening to polarise the world and trigger the biggest humanitarian crisis in 50 years.
