Chaim starts the video by saying that he is back in the Galilee after a brief visit to Lebanon, where Hezbollah is continuing to fire rockets into Israel, adding to the over 9,000 they’ve already fired since October 8th, 2023, when they decided to join the war against Israel that Hamas started with their massacre the day before.
Chaim says that it’s “just not right” for Hezbollah to be doing this and so the IDF needs to go in to sort them out.
Chaim says that Hezbollah has packed southern Lebanon full of tunnels and packed those tunnels full of weapons to attack Israelis. Chaim says the IDF is capturing enormous quantities of these weapons and otherwise making progress in both Gaza and Lebanon.
He also mentions Khalem Mashall, the senior international spokesman for Hamas, who gave an interview recently with Al Arabiya in which he made a slip and said that Iran had assassinated Ismail Haniyeh, not Israel. So this is a sign of the confusion in the enemy camp.
Chaim says this is not the time to back down, cease-fire or otherwise capitulate. In this context, Chaim mentions the ongoing discussions about how to respond to Iran’s ballistic missile attack last week. There are discussions going on between Israeli and American leaders and it’s unclear what the outcome will be.
Chaim concludes by thanking his viewers for continuing to pray for him as it is a different landscape in the north than it was in Gaza. But he also says that he knows a lot of people who have been praying for Israel and for the Aliyah Return Center and him personally are in Florida, and they just got clobbered by back-to-back hurricanes. So he says that here in Israel, we’re praying for Florida and standing with them just as they have stood with us.
