Day 361 Swords of Iron – “Full Scale War Against Hezbollah”

Chaim starts the video by talking about the ground incursion into Lebanon by the IDF to push Hezbollah away from the border. He mentions that the Lebanese National Army has withdrawn, getting out of the IDF’s way because they want Hezbollah gone too.

He reminds his viewers that the battle continues in the Gaza Strip, in Judea and Samaria and in the Red Sea against the Houthis in Yemen. But the main event right now is in Lebanon, and Chaim says that the IDF went straight in through the minefields and other defenses Hezbollah set up near the border. He thought maybe they’d parachute in and come from behind or be inserted by sea perhaps, but that’s not what the IDF high command decided to do. So Chaim asks his viewers to pray over the soldiers who are taking part in these raids along the border to clear out Hezbollah rockets, tunnels, and all the rest of the threats they’ve set up there.

Chaim also mentions the air strikes that have taken out key Hezbollah personnel in Beirut and also in Damascus, where the supply routes of weapons from Iran (and Russia) to Hezbollah are coming in. Chaim says that many of the communities in northern Israel have become closed to civilians and many more civilians in communities further south have been forced to spend most of their time in bomb shelters because there are so many rockets coming in.

Chaim says this is “more real than real” and he rhetorically asks where it could all be going.

He says that the very next evening will be the beginning of Rosh Hashanah and he invites his viewers to join the Aliyah Return Center in an online event to celebrate this festival of the Lord. He says the blowing of the Shofar is meant to be a signal for the people to gather, for war or to mark an important event such as the crowning of a king.

He concludes by quoting Isaiah 49: 24-26; Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives [a]of the righteous be delivered? But thus says the Lord: “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible be delivered; For I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.  I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh, and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine. All flesh shall know that I, the Lord, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”

(Day 540) Swords of Iron – “What Color is a Jew?”

Chaim starts out by saying that the IDF is hard at work keeping Israel safe and trying for a quiet weekend, which he says Israel needs in order to recuperate. At the same time, he notes that in Gaza, leaflets were distributed advising the residents to move away from areas that were about to be attacked. There have even been instances when an individual who wasn’t moving out of a building that was about to be struck was called and convinced to leave just before the strike came and destroyed that building. Chaim says this is an example of how the IDF is serious and its warnings should be taken seriously.

(Day 539) Swords of Iron – “Shabbat peace as the storm rages”

The video begins with a montage of combat footage that Chaim has taken before the scene changes to Chaim welcoming in the Sabbath with a group of other soldiers, obviously in battlefield conditions. The Jewish soldiers are all heavily armed and wearing full combat gear, but they are singing, praying and eating the Shabbat meal together just the same.

(Day 538) Swords of Iron – “The Waiting Game”

Chaim starts off by talking about ballistic missile attacks by the Houthis on Jerusalem, and says that as bad as they are, it was much worse before Israel had the Iron Dome and other air defense systems. Chaim also concedes that these systems are very expensive but he mentions the “Iron Beam” laser which will shoot down incoming missiles for a fraction of the cost, and soon everyone will want it.

(Day 537) Swords of Iron – USA Stealth bombers head toward Iran and Yemen

Chaim starts by talking about how the US military is deploying assets to Diego Garcia, a British-owned island in the Indian Ocean which also serves as a major hub for US military operations in the Middle East. Chaim says that all this firepower might soon be unleashed on the Houthis in Yemen, who have no way of defending against it. But the other major target is Iran, and some of their strategic assets are deep underground where even the American mili might have a hard time getting at them. Chaim says that Iran is showing this capability off to the world, clearly hoping to intimidate and discourage the US and Israel rom striking, but that is very unlikely to be successful.
