ARC Israel Updates

Day 416 Swords of Iron – “Running to Victory”

Chaim starts by saying Israel is a beautiful country and it’s sad to see hundreds of rockets being fired into it. But the IDF is striking back, hitting the Dahyiah neighborhood of southern Beruit. He says Israel is going to have to see this through and he thanks his viewers for their support in that effort.

In this context, he quotes Isaiah 41:10-12; Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. “Behold, all those who were incensed against you shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, and those who strive with you shall perish. You shall seek them and not find them those who contended with you. Those who war against you shall be as nothing, as a nonexistent thing.

Chaim says he’s been deployed in both southern Lebanon and Gaza, doing specialized missions mostly involving tunnel detection and demolition, and he’s very encouraged by all the assistance, prayers and other support he’s gotten from all over the world.

He also highlights the support that’s come in for the Aliyah Return Center’s Emergency Aid Initiative which has helped so many people, including Jews, Arabs, and others, who are under pressure from the war and its fallout. He concludes by thanking his viewers once again for the provision of money that allowed the ARC to buy thermal drones which allow IDF soldiers to do their jobs more effectively and safely.

(Day 563) Swords of Iron – “Drive Terror Out”

Chaim starts by saying he remembers the day he got the call to come to his IDF reserve unit because the war was starting and he was needed. He talks about others he knows who did the same, even though many of them were very busy and had a lot going on, they all dropped what they were doing and ran to join their units. They all thought it would be a short war like so many others before it, but this war has lasted over a year and a half and there’s no end in sight.

(Day 562) Swords of Iron – “Fell in the line of duty”

Chaim starts by saying it’s always tragic when the IDF suffers casualties, and he honors Warrant Officer G’haleb Sliman Alnasasra, 35, of Rahat, who was killed in action over the weekend. Several other soldiers were wounded in the attack, which occurred in an area that was believed to have been cleared of hostile actors, but Hamas had a tunnel that had not been demolished yet and some Hamas guys popped up out of that tunnel and fired an RPG at an IDF vehicle and then later as a rescue vehicle was headed towards the scene Hamas detonated an IED and inflicted more casualties.

(Day 561) Swords of Iron – “Name a Hero of yours”

Chaim starts the video by asking his viewers to leave a comment talking about who their heroes are. He then tells the story of one of his personal heroes, Fredreich Bonhoofer, who was a pastor in Germany who publicly stood against the Nazi regime and was also involved in the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler in July 1944. His great legacy is that although he was a pacifist, he said that to not take action in the face of evil, and to not speak out in the face of evil, was to support evil and to become evil.
