Day 471 Swords of Iron – “The Moment We Have Been Waiting For”
Chaim starts by thanking his viewers for their faithfulness in standing as watchmen on the walls, praying for Israel and supporting the Aliyah Return Center in various ways throughout this difficult conflict.
He says that the ceasefire is about to go into effect which will mean the end of all the explosions he’s been hearing endlessly for 15 straight months that he’s been in Gaza and Lebanon. He then tells about his participation in a last-minute mission to try and rescue some hostages that involved a lot of danger but happily all the soldiers returned safely. They also managed to return the remains of Oron Shaul, who was killed in action in 2014 but his body was kidnapped into Gaza by Hamas.
He says it all makes him very proud to be a member of the IDF’s Ya’alom Combat Engineering Unit.
He then switches to talking about how the day we’ve all been hoping and praying for has arrived, as some of the Israeli hostages have been returned to their families, alive and intact. Chaim names the hostages as Emily Damari, Romi Gonen and Doron Steinbrecher, and gives his viewers a few details about each one.
He says that we’ll soon hear from them how they endured their time in captivity. In the meantime, he says he’s looking forward to seeing all the joy that their release will bring to the people of Israel, as this is what we’ve been waiting for.
