WhatsappWe just finished a wonderful Shabbat with friends and family, despite this war.
Our Friday night Shabbat meal was interrupted by a sight I will never forget.
We looked up and saw an Iranian cluster bomb split open in the sky above us, fragmenting mid-air, sending deadly pieces falling toward Israeli cities. One of those fragments killed a Jew.
That is the reality we are living in.
And then, today, during our Shabbat lunch, the siren pierced the air again. We ran to the bomb shelter as missiles were launched, some landing not far from our area.
This is not normal life.
And yet, in a deeper sense, right now, it is.
Because this is what it looks like when a nation returns to its strength, in the middle of war, in the middle of redemption.
And we are blessed to live in a Jewish country that invested in bomb shelters and missile defense systems that minimize the damage of enemy missiles.
Don’t doubt for a second what is happening.
Israel is winning this war.
Right now, the IDF has clear air superiority deep inside Iran, over Shabbat our airforce was striking at will in Iran
- Nuclear infrastructure, including the Arak heavy water facility tied to plutonium production
- Missile production sites, launchers, and storage facilities
- Advanced weapons and explosive development centers
- Even major economic targets like Iran’s largest steel plants, crippling the regime’s industrial backbone
This is systematic dismantling of the Iranian regime’s military and economic power.
At the same time, on our northern front:
- The IDF is striking Hezbollah infrastructure across Lebanon
- Ground forces are eliminating terrorists, destroying launch cells, and expanding control in southern Lebanon
- Hezbollah’s operational capabilities are being degraded day after day
This is a multi-front war, and we are not just holding the line.
We are pushing forward. And we all need to pray our leaders stand up for the only way to defeat Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon, we liberate up at least to the Litani River, the closest geographical defensible border to protect Israel. Finally using the language of the jihadi Middle East – you attack and you lose, you lose land!
And Iran knows they are losing.
They are feeling the pressure.
Their economy is taking massive hits.
Their military infrastructure is being exposed.
Their ability to project power is being weakened.
That is why there are in talks with President Donald Trump to end the war.
Not because they are winning.
Because they are being hit and losing.
And this so-called ten-day extension?
It is time.
More time for Israel and the United States to continue degrading the regime.
Time to deepen the damage.
Time to push toward a strategic outcome, if they do happen to agree to a deal, which I highly doubt.
Yes, there is a painful price.
A Jew was killed in last night’s Iranian missile attack and some IDF soldiers were killed in Lebanon over the past few days.
Others are wounded.
Families are living between sirens and shelters.
Soldiers are risking everything on multiple fronts.
This is war.
But lift your eyes.
Look at the scale of what is happening.
An evil jihadist Muslim regime that has threatened to destroy us for decades, and planned it out, is now being struck, inside its own territory, with precision and consistency.
And we are still standing.
Strong. Focused. Determined.
Don’t believe any headlines pushing messages of demoralization and Iran winning the war.
ANC most important, put full trust in God, not in Trump or Netanyahu. No matter how much good they will do, they are human and they will sometimes disappoint.
Not as a slogan. As reality.
We are witnessing open miracles, alongside real sacrifice.
We are not victims of history.
We are the Jewish people, back home, standing up, and winning.
That is exactly why you should be calling your travel agents, every single day, making plans to come to Israel.
Whether to move or at least to visit, the time is now.
We are living in redemptive times. Don’t be afraid, be energized, be inspired, and come be part of it here, as soon as possible.
Am Yisrael Chai!!!
