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.

Chaim starts by saying he’s very excited about the hostages who are supposed to be released on Shabbat (the next day) but he also wants to raise the alarm about a warning that’s being issued for the possibility of yet another front in this war opening up, this time on the Egyptian border. There are terrorists in the Sinai, and Iran might try to exploit this situation to menace Israel from that direction as well.
