Day 318 Swords of Iron – “Preemptive Strike”
Chaim starts out the video by showcasing a new vehicle that his unit, the Ya’alom Combat Engineers, has recently been issued. He uses this as a metaphor for his belief that although the Jewish people are facing many challenges in this season of history, the wheels of history will turn and God’s will for the Land and People of Israel will be accomplished.
He mentions the high-level talks currently taking place to try and find a way forward regarding the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza as well as a cease-fire there.
At the same time, Hezbollah is increasing the tempo of its rocket attacks into Galilee, near where Chaim’s family lives. He also mentions the failed attempt to carry out a mass casualty terrorist attack in Tel Aviv.
Chaim says that the IDF might have to launch a pre-emptive strike on Hezbollah to restore security and deterrence. Otherwise, the Israeli people might lose confidence in their political and military leadership.
Chaim concludes by declaring himself to be living proof that God is faithful to His promises and he invites his viewers to join him in believing that God will continue to be faithful.
