Day 344 Swords of Iron – “Light at the end of the tunnel”

https://youtu.be/lwjikfYbIcw

Chaim starts the video by talking about how nice it has been to be spending time with his family in Galilee, but he adds that it isn’t as peaceful as it looks. There are many rockets and missiles being fired into Galilee by the Iranian-backed Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah. But Chaim points out that there’s also a growing threat from Jordan, which despite the peace treaty the government there signed with Israel in 1994, is filled with Moslem Brotherhood supporters who are eager to attack the Jewish State.

Chaim then mentions that Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has declared that the IDF is wrapping up its operations in the Gaza Strip and will soon be shifting the center of gravity to the north and the fight against Hezbollah.

He also mentions the declaration by US Presidential candidate Donald Trump that there is a great threat of terrorism coming out of Iran. Chaim agrees with this comment.

He also mentions that Turkey has said it wants to join in the attack on Israel.

But Israel is striking back hard. Chaim mentions the special forces raid on an Iranian missile production facility in Syria, which was built into the side of a mountain to shield it from air strikes. But the IDF launched a commando raid that penetrated this facility, took valuable intelligence materials, and then blew it up. Chaim compares this to legendary IDF operations in the past which have resulted in the destruction of facilities meant to build mortal threats to Israel.

He also mentions an ongoing situation in Egypt, where it’s unclear if ISIS is surging or if the Egyptian military is just ruthlessly slaughtering them, along with many of their own civilians, in towns close to the border.

With all this in mind, Chaim asks his viewers to continue strongly in prayer and practical support for Israel and the IDF. In this context, he quotes Genesis 12:3, where God spoke to Abraham and said “I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”

The video ends with a montage of IDF soldiers defending their country.

(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.
