Day 227 Swords of Iron – “I will bless those that bless you and curse those who curse you”

Chaim begins the video by saying he’d like his viewers to give their honest opinions about whether or not God still loves Israel and the Jewish people.

He shows the viewers an arrowhead necklace he got from a friend, saying it reminds him of Zecheriah 9:14; Then the Lord will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning; And the Lord God will blow the trumpet, and march in the storm winds of the south.

He says that it has indeed been a whirlwind in the south, with non-stop operational activities in Rafah, Jabaliyah, and elsewhere. He says that it’s exhausting but God is sustaining him and his comrades, just like He protected the country on April 14th when Iran fired a massive barrage of drones and ballistic missiles at Israel.

Speaking of Iran, Chaim says it’s quite amazing that the president of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, and his foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, both of whom often spoke about the imminent and inevitable demise of Israel, both died in a helicopter crash this week.

This happened just when the regime is believed to be on the cusp of attaining nuclear weapons capability, and there are now many people speculating that this could be the beginning of a real change in that country.

He concludes by quoting Zechariah 2:8-9; For the Lord of armies says this: “After glory He has sent me against the nations that plunder you, for the one who touches you, touches the apple of His eye. For behold, I am going to wave My hand over them so that they will be plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the Lord of armies has sent Me.

Update (Day 879) Swords of Iron-Roaring Lion – “Ground invasion into Lebanon”

Shalom khaverim, shalom friends. I am Sergeant Major Chaim Malespin. I serve in Israel’s Combat Engineering Corps, in the Yahalom elite unit for special missions. I’ve been deployed for 879 consecutive days—since Hamas attacked us in October 2023. I’ve served in Lebanon and Gaza, dealing with tunnels and ongoing operations to defend Israel in this national emergency, with only brief rests.

Update (Day 878) Swords of Iron-Roaring Lion – “Defend Against Hezbollah”

Wow. It’s Purim! In today’s video update I’m standing beside D9 bulldozers and tanks defending Israel—against Hamas in the south, Hezbollah in the north, and Iran behind them all. Lebanon’s Hezbollah has attacked again, firing missiles at us. We will not tolerate this anymore. The Houthis in Yemen are threatening full-scale attacks. It feels like many simply want to destroy Israel.

Update (Day 877) Swords of Iron – Roaring Lion – “Tragedy in the Triumph”

The sea is behind me in northern Israel, and rockets are hitting all over. Not far from Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh was struck directly—a large public bomb shelter hit. As I speak, explosions echo. Since the United States and Israel carried out a joint preemptive strike to halt Iran’s nuclear program and dismantle its ballistic missile capabilities, the region has shifted dramatically.
President Donald Trump, after exhausting efforts to secure a deal, called it what it is: an existential threat to Israel that would eventually reach America. He gave the green light. This moment underscores a hard truth—decisiveness matters. Not rhetoric, but action.
