(Day 531) Swords of Iron – “The Last Straw”

Chaim starts the video by talking about the ballistic missile attacks against Israel, including one that had come at 4:01 AM that very morning, sending millions of Israelis to their bomb shelters in their pajamas. Hamas has also resumed firing rockets at Tel Aviv from within the Gaza Strip.

This is happening at the same time as IDF soldiers are confronting the enemy on the ground and in the air and at sea and also in Cyberspace.

Chaim reminds his viewers that it wasn’t so long ago that the shy was filled with rockets, and Israel’s enemies would murder every last one of us if they could. They don’t because Israel is striking back hard at them, and that continued with a round of airstrikes Thursday night, taking out 80 Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, including senior leaders and military equipment.

Chaim mentions that amidst all this, many Gazan residents are saying that they’re ready to take up US President Donald Trump’s offer to get out of the Gaza Strip, escaping the reality that Hamas and its leaders have created for them there. However, the IDF has not launched a full-scale invasion of the Strip just yet. This is still the preliminary stage but if Hamas persists in refusing to release the remaining hostages a full-scale invasion will commence and Hamas will be totally eliminated.

The IDF has already moved in to re-take some of the positions that were evacuated when the cease-fire began back in January and several key members of the operational leadership team of Hamas have also been eliminated.

Speaking of dictators, Chaim mentions Turkish President Reccep Tayyip Erdogan, who has dropped all pretenses of democracy in his country by arresting the main opposition figure on frivolous charges. Millions of Turkish people have poured into the streets to protest against this measure and Erdogan had to go into hiding. This situation is pending and more can be expected to be heard from Turkey in the coming days.

In this context, Chaim quotes Malachi 4:3; You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this,” Says the Lord of hosts.

The video concludes with a public address by Defense Minister Yisrael Katz to the people of Gaza, advising them to take US President Trump’s advice to turn over the hostages to Israel and expel Hamas, otherwise utter destruction will come to Gaza at the hands of the IDF.
