This is a series of CVSI and the world. I'm John Bachelor with my colleague and co-host,

the Rajo Senior Fellow Foundation for Defense of Democracy's and we're very pleased to

welcome Seth Franzman of the FDD but most importantly chief war

correspondent for the Jerusalem Post, we begin in Gaza because over these last days since we last talked to Seth,

there have been political decisions made.

At the same time, the war fighting is going on,

although over a wide front.

Last time we talked, we were focusing on Rafa.

Now there are other neighborhoods

being mentioned in Seth's reporting.

Seth, a very good day to you.

Gaza continues unsolved.

The Hamas are in tunnels or coming in and out of the Sinai or in the general population.

There's a new neighborhood, which I'm careful to pronounce she, Shevia, where the IDF is now operating.

Please help me understand how many neighborhoods are there in such a small space

and what about operating there is this mean that Hamas has re-infiltrated this neighborhood or was always there and it was not a major concern in the initial fighting.

Good evening to you, Seth.

Good evening to you.

Well, to understand, Northern Gaza Strip has, or prior to the war, let's say, you know,

that more than a million people or so, it a it's not just a city it has a whole bunch of

let's say suburbs and environments and neighborhoods around it I mean it's like if you think about

New York City or something like that
