ARC Mini Blog for Day 287 Swords of Iron – Tel Aviv bombed by suicide drone

 

Chaim starts the video by declaring that “this war continues to escalate” and he elaborates on thei point by describing the attack on Tel Aviv which happened on Friday morning, when a suicide drone fired by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen struck a residential building in Tel Aviv. One Israeli man was killed in the attack and several other civilians were wounded. The building the drone struck was near the US consulate in Tel Aviv, and also near several hotels popular with visitors.

This is a major escalation as Tel Aviv is the financial capital of Israel and geographically the center of the country. For a blow to land this means that the war has been kicked up several notches in intensity.

Chaim mentions that there were apparently other weapons en route from Yemen to Israel but they were intercepted by the US Navy. Chaim also admits that this was a serious operational failure on the part of the IDF, as there was no warning of the attack and apparently the radar didn’t pick it up or the radar operators missed it somehow.

Chaim concludes by saying that the IDF is preparing a “massive retaliation” so he invites his viewers to “stay tuned, and keep praying.”

(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.
