(Day 743) Swords of Iron – “Not Surprised – They Broke the Ceasefire”
Chaim starts by saying he’s on a short break from the IDF, in civilian clothes at home with his family in the Galilee. But Hamas has violated the ceasefire and it might break down completely soon. Chaim says that Hamas doesn’t really WANT a ceasefire, because they’re a death cult and if the war continues, there will be more death and that’s what they really want.
(Day 742) Swords of Iron – “What these words mean”
Chaim starts by saying that it’s a good thing that Israel is winning on the kinetic battlefields, on the media battlefield, it’s a different story. The Western world, in general, is in very bad shape and as an example, Chaim points to a recent incident in which a man stood up on a flight to Glasgow, Scotland, and shouted threats to destroy the plane and said it was because of “Trump” and other things like this.
(Day 741) Swords of Iron – “Something is brewing”
Chaim starts by saying that the kinetic battle in Gaza might be over for now, but these are still difficult times. The Israelis feel like they’re worn down to the bone marrow and in Lebanon, Hezbollah seems to be gearing up for another round of fighting. The IDF is striking them pre-emptively to try and disrupt these plans and having a great deal of success, but Iran is relentlessly moving weapons, terrorists and money into Lebanon so that Hezbollah can continue with it’s plans. It’s a race to see how long Israel can continue destroying Hezbollah and how long Iran will continue trying to prop it up.
(Day 740) Swords of Iron – “Fragile Ceasefire”
Chaim starts by saying that things are not “all roses” as the security situation in Gaza is rapidly deteriorating and there are also problems on other fronts. But in Gaza, Hamas has been rounding up its opponents and brutally executing them in public. There are videos of this all over the internet and even the US military is warning Hamas to knock it off.
(Day 739) Swords of Iron – “Will they uphold the agreement?
Chaim starts out by saying he’s out of uniform today. It is Simchat Torah, the day that Jewish people come to the end of the yearlong cycle of Torah reading and roll it back to the beginning. It’s also the day two years ago when Hamas launched its massacre of Israelis and also took 251 Israelis captive back into Gaza.
(Day 738) Swords of Iron – “Miracles Are Happening-As we hold onto FAITH!”
Chaim starts by trying to describe the experience of watching the hostages coming home to be reunited with their families. He talks about scenes in which parents are seeing their children for the first time in two years, and President Trump is arriving on Air Force One, seen by millions in Hostage Square and along the beach in Tel Aviv.
(Day 737) Swords of Iron – “2 years later they are Coming Home!”
Chaim starts by rhetorically asking his viewers if they are “excited” about the imminent return of Israel’s hostages from the dungeons of terror in Gaza. He’s also excited about the imminent arrival of US President Donald Trump.
(Day 736) Swords of Iron – “The plan: Unpacked”
The video is composed of a 3-D animated narrative of the conflict, demonstrating some of the finer points of the plan whose execution is currently underway to return the hostages to Israel and end the fighting. This will include the IDF pulling back in staged redeployments and releasing Palestinian security prisoners in exchange for the living hostages and the remains of hostages who were murdered in captivity.
(Day 735) Swords of Iron – “From captivity to Tabernacle Joy”
Chaim starts by saying that it is with very mixed feelings that he and his fellow IDF soldiers are watching the arrival of US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kuchner to finalize the deal which will bring this war to an end. He lists some of the conditions that Israel had to agree to, including the release from prison of some of the very worst Hamas terrorists and murderers, many of whom are serving life sentences but will now be let out early. He also mentions that many IDF troops have already been redeployed out of Gaza and others have fallen back to defensive positions away from Gaza City.
(Day 734) Swords of Iron – The hostages are coming home!
Chaim starts by saying that he’s in Jerusalem (wearing civilian clothes) and he is so excited because the deal to release the remaining Israeli hostages held in Gaza has been signed and finalized. The hostages will be able to celebrate at least the last day or maybe two days of Succot, the Feast of Tabernacles.
