ARC Israel Updates

Chaim begins by saying that people are having trouble watching the news because there’s so many sad stories about young soldiers who had their whole lives ahead of them who were killed in action. He laments that there might be many more soldiers killed in action soon because the tensions on the northern border are escalating with more rockets and anti-tank missiles being fired into Israel from Lebanon.

Chaim also mentions that the warfare in Gaza and specifically in the city of Rafah, on the border with Egypt, is intensifying and the IDF is preparing to set up a buffer zone around Gaza to protect Israeli border communities.

Chaim than says that he loves the Arab people and he sees that Hamas, a mafia-style terrorist organization, is tyrannizing and terrorizing the people of Gaza and the IDF is freeing them from this tyranny.

He gives examples of the tyranny and corruption that Hamas is guilty of, and that even some reporters from Arab news agencies have started to also discover and report on. He also mentions the Hamas charter which has corruption, anti-Semitism, genocide and violence written into it. Chaim contrasts that with the founding documents of the State of Israel which are based on Biblical principles of justice, freedom and equality.

Chaim quotes Genesis 17:7-8; And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in[a] which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”

He also mentions Jeremiah 33 as another example of God’s Covenant promises to the descendants of Abraham and he says that God has a plan for ALL of His children, including Arabs and Jews, and that what Hamas is doing is not part of His plan.

Chaim says people need to recognize what is good and what is evil. He says he has pity for the people who didn’t read the Hamas charter before marching in the streets to support this wicked organization.

He says people need to recognize that God is moving in the earth through the resurrection of Israel, and he quotes Ezekiel 36 and the prophecy of the “dry bones” to emphasize that point.

He also quotes Zechariah 14:16 which gives another promise about the future God has for Israel; And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

Chaim concludes by declaring that he and his comrades WILL stand on these promises and defend Israel, the one democracy in the Middle East.

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.
