Day 214 Swords of Iron – “Entering Rafah”

Chaim starts the video by telling his viewers that the IDF has captured the Gaza side of the Rafah Crossing from the Egyptian Sinai into the Gaza Strip. It’s strategically significant because this is the entry point of where much of Hamas’ weapons and other things they need are smuggled into the Strip from Egypt.

As Chaim explains, there are also a lot of tunnels there used for smuggling and other purposes. Chaim says that the Hamas leaders said they’d agreed to a ceasefire deal, but it was an attempt at deception because what they actually agreed to was not what had been offered to them and was, in fact, a list of their own demands that they knew Israel would reject.

Chaim says that the UN Security Council is meeting to discuss the situation but there have been several sources that confirmed Hamas changed several conditions of the agreement before their fake “agreement to it” but of course many international media outlets are ignoring this and running with a narrative that Israel proceeded with the Rafah operation even after Hamas agreed to a ceasefire.

Chaim also mentions that even the US has delayed the provision of badly needed ammunition to Israel in order to pressure it into agreeing to a ceasefire, even under unfavorable conditions.

However, despite all the pressure and the nonsense, the IDF is proceeding with the operation to eliminate the last Hamas battalions in Rafah.

Chaim says it’s a very challenging time. We just marked Holocaust Remembrance Day and we’re looking at even more challenges ahead. He asks his viewers to pray for Israel, especially the IDF, in this challenging time.

(Day 563) Swords of Iron – “Drive Terror Out”

Chaim starts by saying he remembers the day he got the call to come to his IDF reserve unit because the war was starting and he was needed. He talks about others he knows who did the same, even though many of them were very busy and had a lot going on, they all dropped what they were doing and ran to join their units. They all thought it would be a short war like so many others before it, but this war has lasted over a year and a half and there’s no end in sight.

(Day 562) Swords of Iron – “Fell in the line of duty”

Chaim starts by saying it’s always tragic when the IDF suffers casualties, and he honors Warrant Officer G’haleb Sliman Alnasasra, 35, of Rahat, who was killed in action over the weekend. Several other soldiers were wounded in the attack, which occurred in an area that was believed to have been cleared of hostile actors, but Hamas had a tunnel that had not been demolished yet and some Hamas guys popped up out of that tunnel and fired an RPG at an IDF vehicle and then later as a rescue vehicle was headed towards the scene Hamas detonated an IED and inflicted more casualties.

(Day 561) Swords of Iron – “Name a Hero of yours”

Chaim starts the video by asking his viewers to leave a comment talking about who their heroes are. He then tells the story of one of his personal heroes, Fredreich Bonhoofer, who was a pastor in Germany who publicly stood against the Nazi regime and was also involved in the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler in July 1944. His great legacy is that although he was a pacifist, he said that to not take action in the face of evil, and to not speak out in the face of evil, was to support evil and to become evil.
