(Day 789) Swords of Iron – “No More Games”

Chaim starts by talking about Ran Gvili, the last Israeli hostage remaining in Gaza. His remains have not yet been returned, and Chaim says this must happen. But it’s amazing to think that we’ve gotten to this point where there’s only one hostage still there.

At the same time, in the north, it looks like we’re headed for another round of fighting with Hezbollah and the IDF has actually taken the step of urging civilians to get out of these villages in the south that Hezbollah has been using as launching pads for building up forces.

Meanwhile, back in Gaza, the leader of the Abu Shabbab militia, which was fighting against Hamas, recently lost his life amidst circumstances that are unclear. Some reports say it was an internal clan dispute, other reports say Hamas ambushed him, but in any case, he had the potential to be part of the solution for a post-Hamas Gaza and now that potential is gone.

On a broader subject, Israeli officials say that when Israel fights against Iran’s proxies or even against Iran itself, we’re not just defending ourselves, we’re defending the free world against barbarians.

Chaim asks his viewers to leave a comment on the video telling him what they think about that statement.

Elsewhere, back in Gaza, once again, Hamas terrorists continue to emerge from tunnels and attack IDF troops. They are not ready to stop this war, and it’s pointless to pretend that this is what they have in mind for what comes next.

Speaking of what comes next, Chaim says that the police forensics lab has confirmed the identity of a Thai citizen, Sudthisak Rinthalak, and Chaim says he is personally committed to seeing this battle through to the end. In this context, he quotes Psalms 76:3, There He broke the arrows of the bow, the shield and sword of battle. Selah

Chaim says that this shows that we serve the God of Isreal, who is a God of war, and He’ll win this one.
