Air strikes intensify in Gaza amid fears conflict could widen

Hamas-run ministry says over 400 people have been killed in 24 hours as Israel says hundreds of "Hamas infrastructure" targets hit.

Air strikes are intensifying in Gaza amid fears conflict could widen to take in other parts of the Middle East region such as Lebanon. 

We'll hear what calculations the Lebanese Shia militant group Hezbollah and its Iranian pay-masters are making about the conflict.
 
Also in the programme: We'll hear from Israelis who think it may have been a mistake to end the occupation of Gaza in 2005; and - away from the Middle East - there's been a surprise result in the first round of the Argentinian presidential election as the governing party candidate won against an insurgent right-wing libertarian.
