ARC Israel Updates

Day 296 All out war with Hezbollah?

 

Chaim starts by mentioning the Hezbollah rocket attack on the Israeli community of Majdal Shams, on the Golan Heights, which resulted in the deaths of 12 children (he says at least nine, but it was later confirmed that there were 12 fatalities).

Chaim says that this is the largest number of casualties from a single Hezbollah attack in nine months of war. Hezbollah is claiming that it wasn’t them, but they had fired a barrage of rockets into Israel at the time and the rocket that hit this soccer field is of a type that only Hezbollah has. Other weapons fired in the same barrage hit a nearby kibbutz, while others were intercepted.

Chaim says that Israel now has no choice but to hit Hezbollah hard in order to restore deterrence and punish them for this attack. He mentions that the US is offering to evacuate several thousand US citizens from Lebanon, and this is one of many indications that the war is about to sharply escalate in the very near future.

(Day 627) Swords of Iron – “Going Ballistic on Beersheva”

Chaim starts by lamenting the destruction in Ber Sheva that was caused by a last-minute Iranian ballistic missile strike just before the cease-fire went into effect. But, he says, he’s glad to live in a country that cares about its citizens and works hard to protect them, even if sometimes the bad guys land a blow. On that note, Chaim gives some details that are known about what happened in Ber Sheva, including the facts that the missile that struck the building was one of a wave that Iran fired and many more lives could have been lost if people had not been in their bomb shelters.

(Day 625) Swords of Iron – “Kaboom!”

Chaim starts by cheering on the announcement by US President Donald Trump that the US has joined the war against Iran’s nuclear program, defending the free world against one of its most dangerous enemies by destroying the Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz nuclear facilities.

(Day 619) Swords of Iron – “Remember We Didn’t Start This”

Chaim starts by acknowledging that these are difficult times in Israel, with incoming ballistic missiles and drones, cruise missiles and other weapons. Hundreds of people have been rendered homeless and at least 25 have been killed, while many more have been wounded. Israelis have had to run to their bomb shelters on several occasions over the past five days, and sometimes we have to stay there for extended periods, but it’s very important for us to stay safe.
