About this episode

The raids were the biggest in the occupied West Bank for twenty years, with four Palestinian cities targeted simultaneously. We speak to Palestinian and Israeli politicians, as well as the BBC’s own journalist in Jenin.

Also on the programme: as the Paralympics opening ceremony gets underway, we hear from a British wheelchair rugby player hoping to retain his gold medal title; and nuclear plants under threat in Russia’s war with Ukraine.
