Elad terrorists found; Israel marks Victory Day

Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. ToI founding editor David Horovitz and military correspondent Mannie Fabian join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Fabian gives updates on the Thursday night terror attack that killed three in the central city of Elad, including the culmination of the 60-hour manhunt to find the two terrorists, found hiding in a nearby forest. He speaks about the three victims, and the porousness of the security fence that has made it easier for terrorists to enter Israel and carry out attacks in recent weeks. Horovitz looks at the relationship of the recent terrorists to Hamas and how the recent spate of attacks differs from the intifadas in Israel's past. He also talks about Victory Day, marked in Russia on May 9 to commemorate World War II and efforts made by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to move the Israeli version for immigrants from the former Soviet Union, to May 8.
