Warning: This episode contains descriptions of violence.

Over the weekend, Palestinian militants with Hamas, the Islamic group that controls the Gaza Strip, mounted a stunning and highly coordinated invasion of Israel, rampaging through Israeli towns, killing people in their homes and on the streets, and taking hostages.

Guest: Isabel Kershner, a correspondent in Jerusalem for The New York Times.
