Israel at War Day 2

Nehemia joins Steven Pynakker of Mormon Book Reviews and LDS (Mormon) author Dr. Jason Olson for a special, emergency episode exploring Hamas's unprovoked, brutal war inside Israeli territory. Nehemia, recording from Jerusalem, gives the latest inside the land of Israel and the war in real-time.
