ARC Israel Updates

Day 334 Swords of Iron – “Perseverance”

 

Chaim starts out by expressing amazement and outrage that Hezbollah fired 65 rockets into the Galilee on Wednesday. He also comments on the fact that Iran has built up terrorist proxy forces all around Israel, not just in Gaza but also in Judea and Samaria, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and in Yemen.

There are fires burning in the Galilee and there is damage to several communities, including places where close friends of Chaim live.

It’s a difficult time in Israel, but also a time when we have the opportunity to stand strong.

Chaim mentions Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s position that the IDF must stay deployed on the Philidelphi Corridor, to keep Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and all the other terrorist groups from being rs-supplied.

Chaim also mentions the criminal complaint by the US Justice Department against Yahya Sinwar and other Hamas leaders. But Chaim wonders aloud what real good this will do, since those guys are all far out of reach of US law enforcement.

Chaim also mentions the massive surge in terrorist activity in Judea and Samaria, and he says that God will not forget His people but will protect them and put their enemies back in their place.

The scene then shifts to the Aliyah Return Center where Chaim is interviewing a young Israeli woman who has volunteered to come to the ARC as part of her national service.

She talks about what motivated her to come volunteer and how she loves to help people and make a difference for the betterment of her country and the Jewish People.

(Day 769) Swords of Iron – “Shift in Progress”

Chaim starts by saying he expects things to shift for the better in the Middle East. He expects the hearts and minds of people in Gaza to shift, as there are only three hostages remaining in the Strip and because of coordination between Israel and the US and others, over 800 trucks full of humanitarian aid are going into the Strip every day.

(Day 768) Swords of Iron – “Culmination, as we dismantle terror Infrastructure”

Chaim starts by pointing out that Veterans Day was just marked in the U.S. and he wonders aloud if people really understand what soldiers do and what they sacrifice and endure on battlefields. He then begins to list some of the work the IDF is doing in the current days, including after the ceasefire, finding and demolishing tunnels packed full of weapons and ammunition that Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon intended to use against Israel.

(Day 766) Swords of Iron – “Lieutenant Hadar Goldin, laid to rest with our ancestors”

Chaim starts by letting his viewers know he’s filming from the funeral of Har Goldin, whose remains were returned to Israel for a proper burial this past week 11 years after his dead body was kidnapped into a Hamas tunnel during Operation Protective Edge in 2014. Chaim gives a short history lesson about that operation, and subsequent operations that all led up to the Swords of Iron War, which still isn’t over despite the ceasefire. He also talks about the efforts by Goldin’s parents and others to secure the release of his remains so he could receive a proper burial. Chaim says he himself was part of that effort, which included talks with senior officials in Egypt and many other countries and organizations including the Red Cross, various UN agencies, etc.
