| 0:00.0 | It's Tuesday, July 30th, 2024. Welcome to the Daily Article podcast. Today's article is written by Dr. Jim Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins of the Denison Forum. |
| 0:14.8 | We are nearing the moment in which we face an all-out war. This is how Israeli foreign minister, Israel Katz, responded to a |
| 0:22.8 | missile attack last Saturday in the Golan Heights town of Majd al-Shams that killed at least |
| 0:28.1 | 12 boys and girls ranging in age from 10 to 16. Dozens more were injured and taken to hospitals. |

| 1:39.8 | Israeli analysts said Hezbollah most likely did not target the village. |
| 1:45.2 | U.S. officials are likewise working on the assumption that the strike was an accident. It is also noteworthy |
