ARC Israel Updates

Day 186

Chaim begins by saying he wants to talk about the October 7th Hamas attack on Reim, an Israeli community close to the border with Gaza. He admits that 50 years to the day after the surprise attack that started the Yom Kippur War, Israel simply wasn’t ready for this attack.

Chaim visits Reim six months later and he shows scenes from the gymnasium where there was a fierce battle between the Hamas Nukba force and the IDF. There are bullet holes and battle damage all over the building. Chaim talks about how four Israeli Beduin men fought back against the Hamas onslaught.

But the Hamas attack was so brutal and overwhelming it destroyed these communities. There were many atrocities, which the Hamas terrorists themselves filmed. Other security cameras also recorded images of atrocities, adding to the testimony of survivors and even perpetrators who were later arrested and interrogated.

But Chaim has been close to Reim for much of the time he was serving in the IDF reserves over the past six months and he has seen and recorded videos of many things that he wanted to show his viewers so they can get a better understanding of the situation.

The video concludes with another IDF soldier thanking the Aliyah Return Center for donating a bullet proof vest to keep him safe in the war zone.

(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.
