Chaim starts the video by telling his viewers that he is on a short break from the battle in Gaza, along with his wife Deanna in Tel Aviv to attend an event honoring the Ya’alom Combat Engineering unit he’s part of.

Chaim says it’s a great honor for him to be part of this elite combat unit, whose name “Ya’Alom” translates as “diamond” in English. He says that this unit is always sent where the danger is greatest, including terror tunnels, booby-trapped buildings and minefields. They’re trained to both set and disarm explosives, demolish tunnels and other enemy positions, and clear areas of improvised explosive devices and mines so that regular troops can operate in these areas safely.

They’re also trained to handle threats from biological, chemical and even nuclear and radiological weapons.

Chaim speaks about participating in Operation Protective Edge in 2014 and all the tunnels his unit demolished in that battle. There were many more, and the current battle has gone on much longer and been more difficult and deadly than any of the previous battles, but the IDF will continue this fight until safety and security is returned to the Land of Israel.
