Israelis mark Passover in shadow of war

Season 2026 Episode 75 | 5m 10s

This year, Easter and Passover coincided, not only with each other, but with the war in Iran. That led to subdued holidays in Israel. Gatherings were restricted in size, and access to Jerusalem was severely limited. Producer Karl Bostic and Nick Schifrin report on Passover under fire in Israel.
