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.
