Update (Day 892) Swords of Iron-Lion’s Roar “Time Is Up Lebanon”

After nearly 900 days of deployment, I remember the sands of Gaza—“pudra” in the nostrils, hard to breathe. In contrast, the Galilee in Lebanon is green and fresh this time of year. As our former female Prime Minister famously said, I also dream of a day when people in Lebanon and Gaza love their children more than they hate Jews and the free world—when they no longer seek the destruction of free, democratic societies.

As long as jihadists continue terror, we will keep fighting to defend the free world and protect our families and homes.

Breaking news:

Iran’s leadership is shifting, and the Israeli Air Force is striking IRGC headquarters in Tehran. Iran is a massive country—80 times the size of Israel—yet this small nation continues defending itself against threats from Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Judea and Samaria, and Iran itself.

Hezbollah still refuses to disarm, so we strike their infrastructure, including underground networks. Enough is enough. We will not retreat or evacuate the north again.

Like Gandalf said, “You shall not pass.” That is our message at the Litani River—stay back. We are not seeking to dominate others or force beliefs. We simply demand security and peace

Airstrikes continue in southern Lebanon. Regional dynamics are shifting—even Iran’s own voices question why allies are absent. Israel has also struck Iran’s space facility tied to satellite weaponization. Debris has fallen as far as the Galilee and Jerusalem, even near the Old City.

Thousands of regime personnel and hundreds of Hezbollah fighters have been eliminated. Over a million Lebanese civilians have evacuated from combat zones—this is good. We want civilians safe; our fight is with terrorists. We want freedom not just for Israel, but for the Iranian people to rise against a regime that threatens the world with violence and nuclear ambitions.

Meanwhile, Hamas is rebuilding. Around the world, antisemitism is rising—from campuses to cities like Rotterdam, Toronto, and beyond. Calls for violence against Jews are no longer hidden. This apocalyptic mindset is dangerous and must be confronted.

We will continue operating wherever necessary to protect our people.

As Psalm 118 says: “All nations surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord, I will cut them off.”

This is not about hatred—it’s about removing terror so a free and safe world can exist.

Despite everything, I’m grateful to be alive in this moment—witnessing history unfold and standing for the defense of freedom.
