Update (Day 948) Swords of Iron “Another Hero Of Israel Falls In the line Of Duty”

It breaks my heart when heroes fall in battle—young men like Alexander, who gave his life in the line of duty. He was a transport driver, and he was killed by one of Hezbollah’s attack drones. We mourn him. May his memory be a blessing.

But we also know this: Israel will deal with this threat. We must advance our technology and field better systems to stop suicide drones and attack drones before they reach our soldiers and civilians.

And once again, it all traces back to Iran—the head of the octopus. Iran continues pushing terror while refusing to take responsibility. Trump has completely rejected Iran’s response to the U.S. proposal, and Iran dismissed his rejection, saying they won’t draft a response just to please the American president.

At this point, both sides are rejecting each other outright. Iran’s state television denounced the American plan as an attempt to force surrender through the media. Trump says the whole thing is ridiculous—and honestly, it looks like the talks are going nowhere.

An Iranian army spokesperson warned that if Iran is attacked again, its enemies will face “new weapons,” “new war methods,” and “new battlefields.” They also claim to have light submarines operating in the Strait of Hormuz. That is dangerous. Very dangerous.

Trump also accused Iran of playing games with America and the international community for 47 years. And he’s right—look at the history: attacks, kidnappings, manipulation, delays, and terrorism across the region.

Remember the U.S. embassy hostage crisis? Remember how many Marines and civilians have been killed by Iranian-backed terror?

Trump says former administrations may have been easier to manipulate, but he is not. He says enough is enough. He also pointed to the billions of dollars transferred to Iran in past years, including cash under the Obama administration, and says America became too weak under previous leadership.

Now, Iran is under serious economic pressure. With the Strait of Hormuz, oil disruptions, and sanctions pressure, their economy could face major collapse if this continues.

Meanwhile, here in Israel, it’s amazing to see the economy still growing through all of this. The shekel is strengthening, GDP continues to rise, and Israel is pushing forward even under war pressure. That itself is remarkable.

We are going to get through this. We are going to see victory, it is promised.

Deuteronomy 28:7 says: “The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.”

Thank you, friends. God bless.
