Day 464 Swords of Iron – “Eternal people are not afraid of the long journey”

Chaim starts by telling his viewers that he’s recording the video in southern Israel and tells them what the poster behind him, written in Hebrew, means in English, that “Eternal people are not afraid of the long journey”

Chaim acknowledges that it HAS been a long journey and as an example he cites the US House of Representatives passing a bill to sanction the International Criminal Court for its outrageous actions against Israeli officials.

Chaim also mentions the ongoing negotiations for a hostage release deal and he says that one of the proposed conditions is an IDF withdrawal from the Philidelphi Corridor, which Chai thinks is a bad idea. But this hasn’t been finalized yet, so there’s still a chance it won’t be part of the final arrangement.

Chaim also mentions the Iranians, who have for the first time ever revealed their underground missile production facilities. They probably did this as a way of trying to intimidate Israel, but really all they’ve done is show Israel what we need to destroy next. Because we will not let them continue to threaten us.

Getting back to the hostage deal negotiations, Chaim warns that the terrorists are making outrageous demands for the release of large numbers of terrorists from Israeli prisons, including murderers with blood on their hands. Chaim says the clock is ticking and the IDF must find and rescue the hostages before Hamas can use them to trade for their terrorist comrades.

He also mentions the situation in Lebanon, where the Lebanese National Army has been tasked with taking over positions vacated by the IDF so that Hezbollah does not go back in and take over those positions. Chaim says he hopes they do a good job so that the IDF doesn’t have to keep going back into Lebanon to keep Hezbollah away from the border.

Next he mentions the Houthis in Yemen, who he says are beginning to understand the consequences of their attacks against Israel.

He also mentions the IDF soldiers who have fallen in battle in recent days.

All if this adds up to a long journey, and Chaim thanks his viewers for joining him in this journey, sharing the videos and praying for him and all the other soldiers in the IDF.

Update (Day 879) Swords of Iron-Roaring Lion – “Ground invasion into Lebanon”

Shalom khaverim, shalom friends. I am Sergeant Major Chaim Malespin. I serve in Israel’s Combat Engineering Corps, in the Yahalom elite unit for special missions. I’ve been deployed for 879 consecutive days—since Hamas attacked us in October 2023. I’ve served in Lebanon and Gaza, dealing with tunnels and ongoing operations to defend Israel in this national emergency, with only brief rests.

Update (Day 878) Swords of Iron-Roaring Lion – “Defend Against Hezbollah”

Wow. It’s Purim! In today’s video update I’m standing beside D9 bulldozers and tanks defending Israel—against Hamas in the south, Hezbollah in the north, and Iran behind them all. Lebanon’s Hezbollah has attacked again, firing missiles at us. We will not tolerate this anymore. The Houthis in Yemen are threatening full-scale attacks. It feels like many simply want to destroy Israel.

Update (Day 877) Swords of Iron – Roaring Lion – “Tragedy in the Triumph”

The sea is behind me in northern Israel, and rockets are hitting all over. Not far from Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh was struck directly—a large public bomb shelter hit. As I speak, explosions echo. Since the United States and Israel carried out a joint preemptive strike to halt Iran’s nuclear program and dismantle its ballistic missile capabilities, the region has shifted dramatically.
President Donald Trump, after exhausting efforts to secure a deal, called it what it is: an existential threat to Israel that would eventually reach America. He gave the green light. This moment underscores a hard truth—decisiveness matters. Not rhetoric, but action.
