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 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.
