Day 347 Swords of Iron – “Teetering on the brink of TOTAL war in the North”

https://youtu.be/S76U0jCDgCA

Chaim starts the video by saying that he keeps getting asked when it will be time for Israel to hit Hezbollah in Lebanon. He says there is still work to do in the Gaza Strip, and he doesn’t know if he’ll be able to be home for the upcoming Jewish High Holidays. He gives a brief description of some of those holidays.

He also remembers that it was almost a year ago, on the Last Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles, that the war started with a Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians. He was at the Aliyah Return Center on that day, leading celebrations, when the word came in that the attack was underway and a war was beginning.

Now, a new phase in this war might be starting, as all the attention is shifting to Hezbollah since Hamas has been nearly finished off in Gaza. It could possibly mean the firing of thousands of missiles and rockets into Israel every single day, but it’s necassary to finally push Hezbollah away from the border and allow the residents of the north to return to their homes.

Chaim also believes that the best way to deal with Hezbollah is to hit them really hard in a pre-emptive strike and keep hitting them while they’re off balance. This is the best way to shorten the war and make sure it ends with an Israeli victory.

Chaim also mentions the increasingly unlikely chances for a cease-fire in Gaza, as the Hamas leadership continuously rejects every offer they get. Hezbollah is also threatening to continue attacking Israel regardless, so Israel has to go stop them and there is a great danger of a Third Lebanon War which Chaim says he hopes doesn’t turn into WWIII.

In this context, he quotes Psalms 29:11; The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.

(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.
