Boots on the ground:

A series of intense and comprehensive reports from inside Israel and the Gaza strip.

A compilation of live interviews with civilians, an IDF major (with an Irish accent), a Palestinian doctor working inside a badly understaffed and terribly under supplied and overrun hospital in Gaza.

As well, a candid Zoom interview with a Hamas leader, dressed up in full military gear, speaking not from the Gaza strip under bombardment, not from the Occupied West Bank, not from an underground bunker or tunnel or hidey hole, but from a well lit (unidentifiable) room in Beirut Lebanon.

A truly unpleasant individual who does not mince his words.

Probably why he's such an effective Hamas leader in Beirut…

Might be some of the most "fair" and "balanced" reporting I've seen in 4 days.

It's been difficult to keep my own balance at times but this report was well worth 37 minutes of my time.

NOTE: An interview with the parents of a young Israeli medical student who was attending that music festival near the Gaza border when it was attacked was the most bizarre interview of the lot...

Or maybe that was just my own perception?? (I'm the mother of a son about his age.)

Your comments are welcome.
