(Day 578) Swords of Iron – “Judgment”

Chaim starts by talking about Israel’s retaliatory strike against the Houthi-controlled international airport in Yemen, following the Houthi-launched ballistic missile which impacted near Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport. This came after the Israeli Air Force launched strikes on the Hodeidah seaport on the coast of Yemen. Both the sea and air ports were crucial to maintaining the Houthi’s economy and warmaking capacity, but they’ve lost them now because they made some bad decisions about attacking Israel.

Chaim mentions that power stations and a cement factory, both of which are essential for the Houthi’s economy, were also hit. He says that the people of Yemen are going to have to decide that they don’t want to be ruled by these terrorist regimes and get rid of them. This is a decision anyone being ruled by a terrorist regime must make sooner or later.

Chaim also talks about the simultaneous Israeli strikes on rocket launching infrastructure near Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip. Secondary explosions at the site following the Israeli strike demonstrate that it was an area being used for military purposes, and thus a legitimate target.

Elsewhere, Hamas commanders have begun to surrender in other parts of the Strip. In the north, the IDF is trying to secure the zone from Damascus down to the Israeli border against infiltration by ISIS and other terrorist groups, and the Turks are also trying to push their way into the territory north of Damascus. So there’s a bit of a standoff developing between Israel and Turkey. Turkey wants to control that country while Israel just wants to keep Sunni jihadists groups away from the border.

Speaking of which, Chaim says that the Aliyah Return Center is cooperating with other groups to send humanitarian aid to the communities of Southern Syria who are trying to resist encroahcment by the jihadist groups and he invites his supporters to donate to this effort. He says it’s one of the best ways that they can help make Israel safe and secure a peaceful life for residents on both sides of the border.

In this context, Chaim concludes the video by quoting Ezekial 28:24; “And there shall no longer be a pricking brier or a painful thorn for the house of Israel from among all who are around them, who despise them. Then they shall know that I am the Lord God.”
