Update (Day 939) Swords of Iron-Lion’s Roar “Terrorist Infrastructure Removal”

Imagine how nerve-rattling it is to operate in southern Lebanon—surrounded by Hezbollah terror infrastructure, much of it booby-trapped and ready to explode. Units like the 98th Division, Yahalom, Golani, paratroopers—all are working to dismantle it. In one case, even an entire stadium was rigged. Right now, around 900 terror sites are being cleared, filled with weapons meant for attacks on our people.

The scale is staggering. Over 200 terrorists have been eliminated in close combat. More than 7,500 weapons have been uncovered—thousands of ammunition crates, hundreds of rifles, magazines, grenades, mortar shells, missile launchers, explosive belts, and even anti-aircraft missiles. Every one of these could have been used against Israeli civilians.

This all traces back to Iran—the head of the octopus—funding and directing proxy warfare. The question is: when will they learn? They continue pushing instability, even as pressure mounts and their position weakens.

Meanwhile, IDF forces continue to face drone threats along the northern border. These attacks—also rooted in Iranian tactics—require constant vigilance. Civilians in southern Lebanon are being warned to evacuate areas like Haboush near Nabatieh ahead of planned strikes. That matters—warnings are given because the goal is to remove threats, not harm civilians.

Globally, decisions are being weighed. Some nations are reconsidering their stance toward Iran, even after experiencing its aggression firsthand. But aligning with such an anarchist jihad-focused regime carries serious risks. As has been said repeatedly: Iran cannot be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. The consequences would extend far beyond Israel—to Europe, and eventually the United States.

In Israel, being outnumbered is nothing new. We are a small nation, still recovering demographically even after the Holocaust. But history shows that numbers don’t determine the outcome.

In 1 Samuel 14:15, Jonathan and his armor-bearer faced overwhelming odds against the Philistines. Yet panic struck the enemy camp—a shaking sent by God—and they turned on each other in chaos.

That pattern has repeated throughout history.

So even in uncertain times, we stay vigilant. We stand firm. And we remember: those who rise to destroy Israel do not prevail.
