Day 331 Swords of Iron – “Tragic Rescue”

Chaim starts the video by saying that as the day ends, we all have to be grateful that we are alive and free. He compares this to the situation of the Israeli hostages being held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. This is on everyone’s mind this week as one hostage was rescued alive a few days ago but then six hostages were murdered just hours before their bodies were found by IDF troops searching through the tunnels in Rafah.

Chaim says their families are devastated and want some privacy to mourn, and he thinks out loud about the process of identifying them through forensic investigations.

He says that there was so much hope that these hostages would be found and rescued alive, as others have, but there is still hope that others will be.

He mentions a statement made by IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari in which he said that these hostages had been murdered as the IDF troops were getting close, and the murderers fled.

Chaim also mentions that on Sunday there was a shooting attack on the road near Hebron in Judea that left three Israeli police officers dead.

Chaim says that with all this going on, it’s a wild time in Israel and he appeals to his viewers to join him in asking God for help to overcome this rising darkness.

In this context he quotes Psalms 119:53; “Horror has overtaken me because of those who forsake your Law.”

(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.
