(Day 546) Swords of Iron – “Egyptian Army at Passover”

Chaim starts out by saying that history is coming to an inflection point as the IDF re-takes many areas of the Gaza Strip that it withdrew from at the beginning of the cease-fire in January and also goes into areas it missed the first time around. THe IDF has also settled accounts with some of the major terrorist leaders of Hamas, including the individual responsible for the abduction and murder of Shiri Bibas and her children.

(Day 545) Swords of Iron – “Pressure Cooker”

Chaim starts out by telling his viewers that he’s in the outskirts of Rammallah, the capital city of the Palestinian Authority which has civil administration authority over around 5 million Palestinian residents of Judea and Samaria, or as some would call it “the West Bank.”

(Day 544) Swords of Iron – “Ultimate Showdown Coming”

Chaim starts out by noting that he’s recording the video at a lookout point named in honor of Yehuda Dror, an IDF soldier who was killed in action in this war. However, there are more sacrifices coming because the operation in Gaza is being expanded. He says that large areas of the Gaza Strip have already been evacuated of their residents and come under the administrative jurisdiction of the IDF.

(Day 543) Swords of Iron – “Glass House?”

Chaim starts out by talking about the various factors which would be in play if a war breaks out between Iran and the US. He mentions that fact that Iran is reported to be very close to nuclear breakout capability and that they’re also threatening to close the Straight of Hormuz, which would see the price of oil increase drastically and very quickly.

(Day 542) Swords of Iron – “United we stand, divided we fall

Chaim starts by saying that even in the darkest days of this war, he’s seen glimpses of light. This includes seeing soldiers from all walks of life and all over the political, cultural and economic spectrum of Israeli society coming together to fight as one unit on the battlefield. He says this gives an example to the entire free world about what must be done in the face of tyranny and evil.

(Day 541) Swords of Iron – “The Rising Tide”

Chaim starts by pointing out that when a ballistic missile is fired at Israel, even if it gets intercepted and the warhead doesn’t hit us, there is often shrapnel and debris from the explosion that rains down on Israeli cities. On Sunday, that included a piece of shrapnel that landed in a Jerusalem schoolyard and in private homes and businesses in several other cities all over the country, but miraculously, no one was hurt.

(Day 540) Swords of Iron – “What Color is a Jew?”

Chaim starts out by saying that the IDF is hard at work keeping Israel safe and trying for a quiet weekend, which he says Israel needs in order to recuperate. At the same time, he notes that in Gaza, leaflets were distributed advising the residents to move away from areas that were about to be attacked. There have even been instances when an individual who wasn’t moving out of a building that was about to be struck was called and convinced to leave just before the strike came and destroyed that building. Chaim says this is an example of how the IDF is serious and its warnings should be taken seriously.

(Day 539) Swords of Iron – “Shabbat peace as the storm rages”

The video begins with a montage of combat footage that Chaim has taken before the scene changes to Chaim welcoming in the Sabbath with a group of other soldiers, obviously in battlefield conditions. The Jewish soldiers are all heavily armed and wearing full combat gear, but they are singing, praying and eating the Shabbat meal together just the same.

(Day 538) Swords of Iron – “The Waiting Game”

Chaim starts off by talking about ballistic missile attacks by the Houthis on Jerusalem, and says that as bad as they are, it was much worse before Israel had the Iron Dome and other air defense systems. Chaim also concedes that these systems are very expensive but he mentions the “Iron Beam” laser which will shoot down incoming missiles for a fraction of the cost, and soon everyone will want it.

(Day 537) Swords of Iron – USA Stealth bombers head toward Iran and Yemen

Chaim starts by talking about how the US military is deploying assets to Diego Garcia, a British-owned island in the Indian Ocean which also serves as a major hub for US military operations in the Middle East. Chaim says that all this firepower might soon be unleashed on the Houthis in Yemen, who have no way of defending against it. But the other major target is Iran, and some of their strategic assets are deep underground where even the American mili might have a hard time getting at them. Chaim says that Iran is showing this capability off to the world, clearly hoping to intimidate and discourage the US and Israel rom striking, but that is very unlikely to be successful.
