Day 335 Swords of Iron – “Ideology”

Chaim starts by describing the situation in northern Israel right now, with all the aircraft and drones flying overhead. There’s also a lot of cyberwarfare taking place, including attempts to hack the Aliyah Return Center website. Rockets from Hezbollah in Lebanon are falling in the Galilee regularly and there is a general feeling of tension

While this is going on, there is also a diplomatic battle as great pressure is being put on Israel to retreat from the Philidelphi Corridor, which forms the border between Israel and Egypt. Chaim says that the IDF presence on this border is preventing Hamas from re-arming and it’s also preventing the hostages from being taken out of the Strip, from where they could be moved anywhere on earth.

Chaim also mentions the US Justice Department complaint against Hamas leaders, but he says that most of them are in places that are hard for the US to reach, including the tunnels under Gaza, Qatar and even Iran.

Chaim says that these terrorists endlessly celebrate death, even the death of their own people.

Chaim says the IDF is here to bring justice and security back to the Middle East, and in that context he mentions the spiking terrorism and violence in Judea and Samaria. Hamas is encouraging their supporters in this region to increase attacks on Israelis. Chaim says the IDF will not allow that to become the new normal here, as it already is in other parts of the world.

In this context he quotes Psalms 55:19; God will hear, and afflict them, even He who abides from of old. Selah Because they do not change, therefore they do not fear God.

He mentions that the mission in Gaza continues, even as the counter-terrorism sweeps are also continuing in Judea and Samaria. The work is also ongoing at the Aliyah Return Center and there is help now from National Service volunteers.

Chaim says he covets the prayers of his viewers and supporters, and thanks them for all they’ve done so far.

(Day 540) Swords of Iron – “What Color is a Jew?”

Chaim starts out by saying that the IDF is hard at work keeping Israel safe and trying for a quiet weekend, which he says Israel needs in order to recuperate. At the same time, he notes that in Gaza, leaflets were distributed advising the residents to move away from areas that were about to be attacked. There have even been instances when an individual who wasn’t moving out of a building that was about to be struck was called and convinced to leave just before the strike came and destroyed that building. Chaim says this is an example of how the IDF is serious and its warnings should be taken seriously.

(Day 539) Swords of Iron – “Shabbat peace as the storm rages”

The video begins with a montage of combat footage that Chaim has taken before the scene changes to Chaim welcoming in the Sabbath with a group of other soldiers, obviously in battlefield conditions. The Jewish soldiers are all heavily armed and wearing full combat gear, but they are singing, praying and eating the Shabbat meal together just the same.

(Day 538) Swords of Iron – “The Waiting Game”

Chaim starts off by talking about ballistic missile attacks by the Houthis on Jerusalem, and says that as bad as they are, it was much worse before Israel had the Iron Dome and other air defense systems. Chaim also concedes that these systems are very expensive but he mentions the “Iron Beam” laser which will shoot down incoming missiles for a fraction of the cost, and soon everyone will want it.

(Day 537) Swords of Iron – USA Stealth bombers head toward Iran and Yemen

Chaim starts by talking about how the US military is deploying assets to Diego Garcia, a British-owned island in the Indian Ocean which also serves as a major hub for US military operations in the Middle East. Chaim says that all this firepower might soon be unleashed on the Houthis in Yemen, who have no way of defending against it. But the other major target is Iran, and some of their strategic assets are deep underground where even the American mili might have a hard time getting at them. Chaim says that Iran is showing this capability off to the world, clearly hoping to intimidate and discourage the US and Israel rom striking, but that is very unlikely to be successful.
