Day 397 Swords of Iron – “Victory”

Chaim starts out the video by congratulating US President-elect Donald Trump and referencing the congratulatory message Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who said it was “the greatest political comeback ever” and reaffirmed the strong alliance between Israel and the USA.

He says that now, victory in this war is achievable and possible. He says there is still a lot of work to do and there’s no guarantees of anything. He mentions that ongoing war and the expected Iranian attack.

He also mentions the political upheaval in Israel due to Netanyahu firing Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and replacing him with another minister, Yaakov Katz, the former Foreign Minister. He says that Netanyahu gave reasons for this that included reasons of national security.

Chaim also mentions the intense anti-terrorism campaign being waged in the Jordan Valley, which is where the Aliyah Return Center is located.

He once again mentions the Iranian strike on Israel that is being prepared, but he says he is not afraid because his trust is in the God of Israel. In this context, he quotes Psalms 145:19-21; He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them. The Lord preserves all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord, and all flesh shall bless His holy name forever and ever.

He concludes by saying that the enemy will try, but they will fail, because they’re actually fighting against God Himself.

(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.
