MIDDLE EAST MATTERS © FRANCE 24

The conflict in Gaza is something we're used to seeing on the news, but now, events in the Palestinian territory are popping up on the small screen as fiction. Following the success of hit Israeli shows like "Fauda", Hamas is throwing itself into television production, with a series to tell its side of the story. We take a closer look.

Meanwhile, tit-for-tat attacks have claimed the lives of more than a dozen people in Yemen's capital. The air strikes on Sanaa carried out by the Saudi-led coalition are the deadliest since 2019. They appear to be retaliation for a Houthi drone attack on Abu Dhabi, which killed three people on Monday. The Iran-backed Houthis have been at war with the Saudi-led coalition since 2015.
