Israeli troops push deep into Gaza & investigating Hamas' property portfolio

A warning this week that this episode contains graphic language that some listeners might find distressing. 

In this episode of Battle Lines, we speak to Defence Editor Danielle Sheridan, Middle East correspondent Nataliya Vasilyeva and Senior Foreign Correspondent Sophia Yan.

Danielle speaks about the Israeli forensics teams searching through ash as they look for teeth to identify Hamas victims, Sophia takes us inside her investigation into Hamas assets in Turkey, and Nataliya explains her reporting into the experiences of the Israeli Bedouin. 

Plus Assistant Comment Editor Francis Dearnley takes on the difficult task of trying to sum up the history of the region.
