ARC Israel Updates

Chaim starts by paying tribute to some of his fellow soldiers who have already fallen in the battles they’re fighting. He thanks his viewers for their prayers for his safety and the support they’ve sent which allowed the Aliyah Return Center to buy equipment soldiers need, such as Leatherman utility tools, thermal clothing and bulletproof vests.

Chaim then quotes Matthew 24:6-7; And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

He reminds his viewers, however, that “this isn’t a rumor anymore” because the wars are here. He says this war is serving to focus the world’s attention on Jerusalem and what God is doing in this city and this country.

He repeats his thanks for the support that viewers have sent which allow the ARC to partner with the Tiberius Municipality and many other public and private organizations and initiatives to help those in trouble during this time of crisis. This includes providing gear to soldiers but it also includes providing diapers and baby formula to single mothers who have been put on unpaid leave from their jobs because of the war. It includes families whose homes were destroyed by rockets and they lost everything, so they need the basic necessities of life.

He says that the ARC has changed and so has the entire country of Israel, which will never be the same again after this crisis, in good ways and some difficult ways.

He reminds his viewers that 9 November is the anniversary of the “Kristallnacht” pogrom in Germany, which saw hundreds of Jewish homes and businesses in Germany vandalized and dozens of Jewish people murdered. Chaim says that same spirit of anti-Semitic hatred and violence is moving in the earth today and believers need to stand against that spirit.

He quotes Genesis 12:3; in which God tells Abraham “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

He says it warms his heart to see the thousands of Gazans who are able to flee the fighting in northern Gaza and go to places of relative safety in southern Gaza. He says that many of them are thanking the IDF troops they encounter for liberating them from Hamas.

He repeats his thanks for all the prayers and support ARC has gotten as it seeks to be a blessing to those in need, including soldiers but also including civilians who are in harms way. He urges viewers to share what they’ve seen in the video with others who are also concerned about what’s going on and assures them that the righteous will succeed and that the Lord’s plan for all the families of the earth to be blessed through Israel will also succeed.

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.
