Palestine This Week: A killing too far? Israel, Hamas and Hezbollah

As the region teeters on the edge of war, we look at how Israel's actions and targeted assassinations over the past week have pushed an already volitile situation even closer to the edge and discuss what options may be on the cards now. 

In Palestine This Week, join guest host Usman BUtt and regular guest Mouin Rabbani as we cover Israel's killing spree in Beirut, Gaza and Tehran. In response to an alleged Hezbollah rouge projectile striking a football field in the Syrian town of Majdal Shams killing 12 children, Israel launched a strike against Hezbollah in Lebanon and assassinated Fuad Shukr in Beirut. Much to everyone's surprise, another strike, this time in Iran, killed Hamas's leader Ismail Haniyeh. Though Israel has not claimed responsibility to Haniyeh's murder, it is believed to be behind the attack. The twin assassinations have the region on edge, with many fearing an Iranian retaliation could plunge the region into a wider war. We discuss what the fallout will be.

Also in this week's episode, an Israeli strike killed Al Jazeera journalist Ismail Al-Ghoul and his cameraman Rami Al-Refee, meaning Gaza has reached a grim milestone of 120 journalists killed since 7 October. We have also seen a rise in attacks on schools and hospitals in Gaza, why is this happening now? And lastly, the Ministry of Health in Gaza has updated their death toll number to over 39,600 Palestinians killed, but how are the dead being counted?
