ARC Israel Updates

January 25th 2024 – Day 110

Chaim starts by saying he’s thinking of the IDF soldiers who were killed in action this week. In particular, he highlights one man, an Arab-Israeli Bedouin soldier named Achmed Abu Latif, from the tracker battalion. He was known for being outspoken in his support for the state of Israel and Chaim rhetorically asks why this would be, and he answers his own question by saying this man appreciated what a gift freedom is, and that’s a lesson which so many in the West have forgotten.

He also mentions the oft-discussed idea of a “two-state solution” which is absurd because Hamas clearly says it doesn’t want a Palestinian State, it just wants to destroy the Jewish people.

The proof if this, Chaim says, is in how much time, money, effort and energy Hamas invested in building a massive network of tunnels underneath the Gaza Strip in order to launch terrorist attacks against Israel. Chaim and his comrades are working hard to discover and destroy these tunnels.

Next Chaim mentions the Iranian-backed terrorist groups in Iraq who have begun to fire drones towards Israel and the US/UK military actions against the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist groups in Yemen.

He also mentions the protests against Hamas which have begun to be held in Gaza.

Next he rhetorically asks what his viewers are prepared to do to defend freedom, pointing to those who have come before and sacrificed so much for it. He also points out that freedom is a Judeo-Christian value derived from the Bible, and he points out that in Hebrews 11 there’s a Hall of Fame of faith and he declares “there’s still room there for you and me.”

(Day 829) Swords of Iron – “Podcast with Dr. Mordechai Kedar, Middle East expert”


Shalom from the beautiful—and windy—Sea of Galilee!
Today, instead of my usual update from the front lines, I’ll be joined live on my weekly podcast by Prof. Dr. Mordechai Kedar.
Professor Dr. Kedar is a Middle East analyst like no other—arguably one of the foremost voices on Iran today. 
He is multi-lingual, and besides Hebrew and English and a few others he also understands Persian (Farsi) – the language of Iran.


(Day 828) Swords of Iron – “Imminent”



Things are not slowing down here. The US has confirmed advanced military plans against Iran, and regional forces—including Israel—are preparing. It’s very tense, palpable, tangible; you can taste the tension in the air.

(Day 827) Swords of Iron – “13,000 protesters Killed”


As we’re there in the mud and cold of Gaza, it’s clear there is no other option than expanding the fight beyond simply dismantling tunnels. These Palestinian militant terrorists refuse to disarm. They are regrouping, rearming, and rebuilding. When we block one tunnel, they dig another entrance. Their goal remains the same: to advance their terrorist, jihadist agenda.
