ARC Israel Updates

Day 453 Swords of Iron – “Winning the Battles and War”

Chaim starts the video by saying it’s a new year, 2025, but some of the problems from the old year of 2024 are still with us. The IDF needs to continue operating in the Gaza Strip to defend Israel from the terrorists who fire rockets into Israel from that place. The hostages who were kidnapped into Gaza on October 7th, 2023, are aslo still being held and Chaim is happy to hear incoming US-President elect Donald Trump taking such a firm line on demanding that these hostages be released.

There are also still many threats being confronted in Lebanon, as Hezbollah has not stopped trying to plan its next attack against Israel.

Chaim says he is still on active-duty with his IDF unit, and the Aliyah Return Center is continuing to assist many people in the midst of this crisis, including many new immigrants who are continuing to come to Israel, and he tells his viewers that their prayers and assistance are still urgently needed.

He mentions a clay lamp, with a Menorah imprint, which was found by archeologists in Jerusalem recently. It reminds him that there is a light that needs to keep burning in ZIon, and he plans to do his part to keep it burning and he asks his viewers to help him with this project. He says that it’s a new year, and that means it’s a new adventure.

The video concludes with a montage of images from the ARC’s activities over the past year, welcoming new immigrants and assisting them take their first steps into their new life in their ancient homeland.

(Day 627) Swords of Iron – “Going Ballistic on Beersheva”

Chaim starts by lamenting the destruction in Ber Sheva that was caused by a last-minute Iranian ballistic missile strike just before the cease-fire went into effect. But, he says, he’s glad to live in a country that cares about its citizens and works hard to protect them, even if sometimes the bad guys land a blow. On that note, Chaim gives some details that are known about what happened in Ber Sheva, including the facts that the missile that struck the building was one of a wave that Iran fired and many more lives could have been lost if people had not been in their bomb shelters.

(Day 625) Swords of Iron – “Kaboom!”

Chaim starts by cheering on the announcement by US President Donald Trump that the US has joined the war against Iran’s nuclear program, defending the free world against one of its most dangerous enemies by destroying the Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz nuclear facilities.

(Day 619) Swords of Iron – “Remember We Didn’t Start This”

Chaim starts by acknowledging that these are difficult times in Israel, with incoming ballistic missiles and drones, cruise missiles and other weapons. Hundreds of people have been rendered homeless and at least 25 have been killed, while many more have been wounded. Israelis have had to run to their bomb shelters on several occasions over the past five days, and sometimes we have to stay there for extended periods, but it’s very important for us to stay safe.
