Fighting in Israel continues following unprecedented attack
Israelis inspect a damaged residential building after it was hit by a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip, in Ashkelon, Israel, Oct. 9, 2023. The militant Hamas rulers of the Gaza Strip carried out an unprecedented, multifront attack on Israel at daybreak Saturday, firing thousands of rockets as dozens of Hamas fighters infiltrated the heavily fortified border in several locations by air, land, and sea, killing hundreds and taking captives. Palestinian health officials reported scores of deaths from Israeli airstrikes in Gaza.
As Hamas militants carry out an unprecedented attack on Israel and fighting continues for a third day, we will bring you the latest from both sides of the conflict by The World’s Durrie Bouscaren. Plus, we devote the rest of the show to Indigenous People’s Day with a special that celebrates and explores the history and culture of native peoples around the globe.
