Day 461 Swords of Iron – “Heavy Price Of Freedom”

Chaim starts the video by giving a shoutout to the people enduring a terrible tragedy in Los Angeles, California, as thousands of homes, businesses, schools and other buildings in that city have been burned up in raging fires.

He also says that Israelis are having yet another moment of closure mixed with anguish as the remains of Youssef al-Zayadni and his son Hamza, both kidnapped into Gaza on October 7th, 2023 and held hostage ever since, were found in Gaza. Apparently they were murdered in captivity, but Chaim says the remains of some of their captors who were also killed on the scene were also found nearby, raising questions about what exactly happened.

Chaim also mentions that the number of IDF soldiers killed in action in this war is now up to 833, and every time he hears about another casualty he worries that it’s a friend of his. In this context, he quotes John 15:13, Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

He also says that he takes comfort from the Aliyah prophecies, and he says he believes they apply to the hostages coming home as well as those in the Diaspora.

(Day 480) Swords of Iron – “A new Season is Here”

Chaim starts the video by acknowledging that some IDF reserve soldiers are getting tired, ready for this war to be over so they can take off their uniforms and go back to their civilian lives. He talks about some of the different environments that IDF soldiers are being deployed, from the tropical beaches of Gaza to the frozen, snow capped Golan Heights. He also acknowledges that there is not always equipment needed for these different environments, and he says that the IDF welcomes any donations of equipment that will help them get the job done safely and effectively.
