ARC Israel Updates

Day 129

Chaim starts his video by describing the rescue of two Israeli hostages being held by Hamas in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. Chaim gives details including the different IDF units, in cooperation with the Shin Bet, which participated in the operation. The two hostages were being hidden on the second floor of a building in Rafah and it was an immensely complex and difficult operation to carry out. They were assisted in extracting from the area by the air force, which laid down covering fire and suppressed the attacks against them as they tried to leave.

There was only one light injury to one of the rescuers, but aside from that all the Israelis got out unhurt and the mission is a success. The hostages were brought to Sheba Medical Center by helicopter and the entire operation took only one hour.

Chaim muses that he remembers visiting the home of one of the hostages on the kibbutz where the October 7th massacres took place as part of his initial duty after being called up to the IDF to fight in this war.

 Chaim concludes by saying there are still 134 more hostages and he and his comrades will do everything in their power to rescue all of them.

(Day 627) Swords of Iron – “Going Ballistic on Beersheva”

Chaim starts by lamenting the destruction in Ber Sheva that was caused by a last-minute Iranian ballistic missile strike just before the cease-fire went into effect. But, he says, he’s glad to live in a country that cares about its citizens and works hard to protect them, even if sometimes the bad guys land a blow. On that note, Chaim gives some details that are known about what happened in Ber Sheva, including the facts that the missile that struck the building was one of a wave that Iran fired and many more lives could have been lost if people had not been in their bomb shelters.

(Day 625) Swords of Iron – “Kaboom!”

Chaim starts by cheering on the announcement by US President Donald Trump that the US has joined the war against Iran’s nuclear program, defending the free world against one of its most dangerous enemies by destroying the Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz nuclear facilities.

(Day 619) Swords of Iron – “Remember We Didn’t Start This”

Chaim starts by acknowledging that these are difficult times in Israel, with incoming ballistic missiles and drones, cruise missiles and other weapons. Hundreds of people have been rendered homeless and at least 25 have been killed, while many more have been wounded. Israelis have had to run to their bomb shelters on several occasions over the past five days, and sometimes we have to stay there for extended periods, but it’s very important for us to stay safe.
