ARC Israel Updates

Day 276 – Weekends when at home from the front

Chaim begins the video by declaring that little by little, the IDF is clearing Gaza of Hamas and destroying its capability to threaten Israel. He adds, however, that the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen are threatening to attack Saudi airports if the Kingdom dares to normalize relations with Israel. Apparently, the Houthis and their Iranian masters don’t want anyone trying to build a better future for the people in the Middle East, they’d rather everyone just continue down the path of hatred and violence that they’re most comfortable with.

Speaking of which, Chaim also thinks that the anti-Israel protesters on US university campuses need some new chants to replace “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and he makes some suggestions for them to consider.

He then proceeds to mention that Hezbollah has launched an attack on Mount Hermon, which he says they know is a very strategic spot for the IDF and for Israel in general. He says that it’s very important that Israel not lose any ground in either the north or the south, because there’s no unimportant ground in the Holy Land.

He adds that just a few hours before he filmed the video, he was lying in a ditch taking cover from incoming rockets. He says that most people living in the West have never experienced that. Israel continues to take hits from their enemies, but Israel is striking back hard.

However, he adds that the war with Hezbollah is inevitable and coming soon, unless a way can be found to persuade Hezbollah to back off and retreat north of the Litani River in Lebanon.

The scene then shifts to Chaim telling his viewers about what weekends at home away from the battle are like for him.

He describes wrapping things up on Friday afternoon, getting some tasty treats for the family, spending time with his congregation and then going home for Shabbat dinner. This includes reading Proverbs 31 over his wife and blessing his children, it also includes special foods like Challah bread and wine. Then they might go to a nature reserve to spend some time learning about the Land of Israel and then it’s home for a family-friendly movie. Later, Chaim meets with a mens group he’s part of, then wakes up early on Sunday to do a fitness workout and then be in the office by 0900.

Chaim concludes the video by asking his viewers to share in the comments section about their weekend routine.

(Day 864) Swords of Iron – “Red Lines”

It’s unbelievable—almost incomprehensible. Ahead of Phase Two of President Donald Trump’s Gaza plan to clear the rubble and rebuild, Hamas was required to disarm and leave. Instead, they’re now saying they want to retain political control of Gaza—perhaps not as a military force, but as a governing entity. That is unacceptable. Israel has made it unequivocally clear: there will be no Hamas involvement in Gaza’s administration under any circumstances. Period.

(Day 863) Swords of Iron – “Internal-External pressures”

We are definitely in the Middle East; intense dust storms covered the region in recent days—it’s just wild. But what’s even more concerning is that Hamas continues to blatantly violate the ceasefire. The yellow line means nothing to them, nor does northern Gaza. Armed terrorists emerged from underground infrastructure, attempting to pose an imminent threat to our troops. Thankfully, our guys were able to neutralize them and eliminate the threat. We can’t move forward with any plans for rebuilding—like gas development—until they disarm and withdraw.

(Day 862) Swords of Iron – “Rammifications”

It’s good to be out of uniform for the weekend.
But when I hear that Ivy League students at places like Columbia are chanting slogans like “there is only one solution – intifada revolution” or calling terror tunnels “anti-colonial resistance,” I have to ask – what are we teaching the next generation? We must safeguard the future by ensuring people are educated with truth, not deception.

(Day 861) Swords of Iron – “Getting to the bottom of this”

Shabbat shalom my friends!
As we carry out intense missions throughout Gaza, please pray for us—the IDF, the soldiers of Israel, and the victory of good over evil, light over darkness. Things are shifting globally and here in Gaza, maybe not as quickly or neatly as we’d like, but there is always hope and a light at the end of the (Hamas) tunnel (pun intended).
