BBC World Service - Newshour, Israel expanding ground offensive into central Gaza

More than 21,100 have been killed in Gaza - mostly children and women - since October 7

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

The Israeli military is keeping up its offensive across the entire Gaza Strip, nearly three months after the conflict began.  In the north, it's again bombarded Jabalia.  Israel has also further expanded its ground operation in central and southern Gaza. The United Nations has again voiced concern for the safety of thousands of Palestinians who've gathered in urban refugee camps.

We will hear from an Israeli official and an UNWRA representative. We will so examine how public opinion is evolving, in Israel, as the Gaza war continues. 

Also in the programme: Parasite actor, Lee Sun-kyun, found dead in apparent suicide; and we discuss the social and intellectual meaning of playing board games. We include a few tips for winning Monopoly.
