Day 395 Swords of Iron – “Iran threatens to destroy us”

Chaim says that Israel is living through a historic epoch which he thinks is comparable to the Exodus out of Egypt into the Promised Land and the survival of a remnant of Jews during the Holocaust. He thinks this current war, and the miraculous victories Israel is seeing, are comparable to the miracles that happened in the 1967 Six Day War and the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

As proof of this, he cites his own personal experiences and observations seeing the incredible amounts of weapons and sophisticated hi-tech equipment that Hezbollah has to use against Israel, that it didn’t use. Instead, the IDF is capturing large quantities of this stuff and bringing it back to Israel.

He also mentions the Iranian attack, which the regime in Teheran is threatening will be the most effective attack they’ve ever launched and they’re saying it can come at any moment. Chaim briefly discusses some of the ways that the IDF is trying to prepare for this attack and also plan counter-attacks, but there are no options that don’t involve Israeli planes penetrating Iranian airspace, which is still somewhat defended by Iranian air-defence systems.

He says that Iran is in a competition for the leadership of the Islamic fundamentalist and jihadist world, and the threats to attack Israel are part of that competition.

Chaim takes a moment to thank the US for sending air defense systems and warplanes to help defend Israel from an Iranian attack and also strike back if necessary, and Chaim says that we need to take note of what we’ve seen before and not lose hope. He says that Iran’s best missiles have been fired at Israel and they failed to destroy their targets.

In this context, Chaim quotes Psalms 145:20; The Lord preserves all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy. And Psalms 147:6; The Lord lifts up the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground.

He concludes by thanking his viewers for standing strong on the promises of God in this difficult season we’re passing through.

(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.
