ARC Israel Updates

Day 151

Chaim begins by showing his viewers the demolition of a Hamas terror tunnel, before transitioning to a commentary on how the war against Hamas been going on longer than any other war in Israel’s history since the War of Independance in 1948. He says the end is in sight and many reservists are being demobalized (while told to be ready to come back to the IDF on very short notice) but there are still battles to fight.

He also laments the fact that in much of the “free world” including liberal democracies all over the globe, there’s a fierce battle for truth, with many people believing the lies and false narratives about Israel that are being pushed by Al Jazeera, Iran and many leftist media outlets.

He then switches to a rhetorical question about how many IDF soldiers have been wounded since the war began. He answers his own question by reporting that since the war began, about 475 have been wounded and are in serious condition, another 800 or so are in medium condition and another 1,755 are in light condition. Others have been injured in accidents that happened as a result of the need to move quickly in emergency situations, which are a common feature of every war.

He also speaks about how many soldiers needed (and still need) help from the Aliuah Return Center to acquire the tactival equipment they need, such as helmets and bullet-proof vests. The ARC is also continuing to support people who have been forced to flee their homes near the hostile borders. Chaim thanks all those who prayer for and gave generously to support these efforts.

He also mentions the miracles that Israel’s airport was not hit despite 13,000 rockets that Hamas fired into southern Israel in the course of the war, saying that when the all-but-inevitable war with Hezbollah breaks out, they’ll be targetting the airport along with other expensive infrastructure such as roads, bridges, etc.

But Chaim says that the Lord Himself will send angels to protect Israel. He thanks God for the wisdom that the Israeli government had to build the air defense system with the Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow systems, but it is ultimately God who protects the country.

He quotes Isaiah 42:13; The Lord shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud; He shall prevail against His enemies.

He concludes by thanking his viewers for continuing to pray for him and his comrades and for the victory of God in this time.

(Day 540) Swords of Iron – “What Color is a Jew?”

Chaim starts out by saying that the IDF is hard at work keeping Israel safe and trying for a quiet weekend, which he says Israel needs in order to recuperate. At the same time, he notes that in Gaza, leaflets were distributed advising the residents to move away from areas that were about to be attacked. There have even been instances when an individual who wasn’t moving out of a building that was about to be struck was called and convinced to leave just before the strike came and destroyed that building. Chaim says this is an example of how the IDF is serious and its warnings should be taken seriously.

(Day 539) Swords of Iron – “Shabbat peace as the storm rages”

The video begins with a montage of combat footage that Chaim has taken before the scene changes to Chaim welcoming in the Sabbath with a group of other soldiers, obviously in battlefield conditions. The Jewish soldiers are all heavily armed and wearing full combat gear, but they are singing, praying and eating the Shabbat meal together just the same.

(Day 538) Swords of Iron – “The Waiting Game”

Chaim starts off by talking about ballistic missile attacks by the Houthis on Jerusalem, and says that as bad as they are, it was much worse before Israel had the Iron Dome and other air defense systems. Chaim also concedes that these systems are very expensive but he mentions the “Iron Beam” laser which will shoot down incoming missiles for a fraction of the cost, and soon everyone will want it.

(Day 537) Swords of Iron – USA Stealth bombers head toward Iran and Yemen

Chaim starts by talking about how the US military is deploying assets to Diego Garcia, a British-owned island in the Indian Ocean which also serves as a major hub for US military operations in the Middle East. Chaim says that all this firepower might soon be unleashed on the Houthis in Yemen, who have no way of defending against it. But the other major target is Iran, and some of their strategic assets are deep underground where even the American mili might have a hard time getting at them. Chaim says that Iran is showing this capability off to the world, clearly hoping to intimidate and discourage the US and Israel rom striking, but that is very unlikely to be successful.
