ARC Israel Updates

Day 130

Chaim begins by showing his viewers a heavy truck the IDF uses nicknamed “the Wolf” and then the scene switches to another vehicle, a heavy engineering bulldozer. Chaim takes some clay off the tracks of this bulldozer to demonstrate the way that terrorists mold human beings into instruments of attack against freedom and democracy.

He explains that in the Islamic narrative, there are only two kinds of places in the world. There’s “dar al Harb” where there’s a struggle going on between Islam and any other kind of ideology and a place called “dar al Sallam” where Islam has subdued other ideologies and established Sharia Law.

If the Muslims get to a point where it’s too difficult to continue the struggle, they’re allowed to call a “hudna” which is essentially a cease-fire, while neither side fights and the Islamic side regroups and gets ready to fight again. This is following the example of Mohammed when he was beginning his conquest of the Hijaz region of eastern Arabia.

Chaim says there are groups of Muslims all over the world today who are taking this narrative very seriously and pursuing the goals very earnestly. There are also, as there have always been, those who are resisting this movement.

He says that we have the ability to understand these narratives and the conversations around them. He says that these groups are even active in America where they’re using money donated to universities to sew the seeds for taking the struggle to the next level. He concludes by inviting his viewers to leave their thoughts in the comments section.

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.
