Boots on the Ground | The Impact of Israel's Season of Light | Boots on the Ground | December 25, 2025
  • When you look at the map tonight,
  • 00:00:06.296 --> 00:00:07.831
  • It's very simple to see the danger.
  • 00:00:07.831 --> 00:00:11.534
  • Gaza in the south.
  • 00:00:11.968 --> 00:00:12.936
  • Hezbollah in the north.
  • 00:00:13.436 --> 00:00:14.704
  • Iran behind them.
  • 00:00:15.138 --> 00:00:18.575
  • Syria, yemen, judea and samaria
  • 00:00:19.209 --> 00:00:22.579
  • All moving at the same time.
  • 00:00:22.579 --> 00:00:24.347
  • But if you look a little deeper,
  • 00:00:24.981 --> 00:00:26.850
  • You also see something else.
  • 00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:29.252
  • Israel is quietly changing the rules of the game.
  • 00:00:30.253 --> 00:00:33.022
  • Now, for years, people called this place the start-up nation.
  • 00:00:33.022 --> 00:00:37.293
  • And in this last war, a new term was born -
  • 00:00:37.293 --> 00:00:40.563
  • Defense-tech nation.
  • 00:00:41.030 --> 00:00:43.099
  • Not just absent high tech,
  • 00:00:43.666 --> 00:00:45.368
  • But hundreds of israeli companies
  • 00:00:45.368 --> 00:00:47.637
  • All building weapon systems,
  • 00:00:47.637 --> 00:00:49.439
  • Sensors and software
  • 00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:51.674
  • That decide life and death on the battlefield.
  • 00:00:51.674 --> 00:00:54.878
  • And tonight, at the center of that story
  • 00:00:54.878 --> 00:00:57.514
  • Stands one very simple word -
  • 00:00:57.514 --> 00:01:00.750
  • Light.
  • 00:01:00.984 --> 00:01:02.552
  • After years of development,
  • 00:01:03.153 --> 00:01:04.988
  • Israel is finally bringing into service
  • 00:01:04.988 --> 00:01:07.457
  • The new laser defense system called or eitan.
  • 00:01:07.457 --> 00:01:11.327
  • "eitan's light" or a "steadfast light".
  • 00:01:11.327 --> 00:01:14.597
  • This system is being developed and deployed in the north
  • 00:01:14.597 --> 00:01:18.368
  • As part of the defense against hezbollah's rockets and drones.
  • 00:01:18.368 --> 00:01:21.704
  • And instead of firing a missile
  • 00:01:21.704 --> 00:01:23.473
  • That cost tens of thousands of dollars,
  • 00:01:23.473 --> 00:01:25.775
  • Or eitan fires a high power laser beam
  • 00:01:25.775 --> 00:01:28.811
  • At the speed of light.
  • 00:01:28.811 --> 00:01:30.547
  • It locks onto a rocket,
  • 00:01:30.547 --> 00:01:32.148
  • A mortar shell, a drone, or a uav,
  • 00:01:32.148 --> 00:01:35.351
  • Beats it in mid-air
  • 00:01:35.818 --> 00:01:37.120
  • And simply burns it apart before it reaches israeli civilians.
  • 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.456
  • And the cost, you ask?
  • 00:01:40.957 --> 00:01:42.392
  • Just a few coins of electricity for every interception.
  • 00:01:42.392 --> 00:01:45.595
  • And as long as there is energy,
  • 00:01:46.229 --> 00:01:47.897
  • There are almost unlimited interceptions.
  • 00:01:47.897 --> 00:01:50.500
  • The system is named after captain eitan oster,
  • 00:01:51.467 --> 00:01:54.938
  • A young israeli officer who fell in combat in lebanon.
  • 00:01:54.938 --> 00:01:57.807
  • His father was one of the leading engineers
  • 00:01:57.807 --> 00:02:00.410
  • On this project.
  • 00:02:00.410 --> 00:02:01.678
  • So eitan, in a way, keeps defending israel,
  • 00:02:01.678 --> 00:02:05.048
  • Now, through a beam of light in the sky.
  • 00:02:05.048 --> 00:02:07.417
  • Last year,
  • 00:02:07.717 --> 00:02:08.885
  • The idf quietly tested a smaller version of this system
  • 00:02:08.885 --> 00:02:11.988
  • In the north.
  • 00:02:11.988 --> 00:02:13.223
  • It intercepted drones and rockets coming in from lebanon.
  • 00:02:13.223 --> 00:02:16.926
  • A live experiment under fire.
  • 00:02:16.926 --> 00:02:19.395
  • Those tests are the reason israel can now safely say
  • 00:02:19.395 --> 00:02:23.266
  • This laser is not science fiction anymore.
  • 00:02:23.266 --> 00:02:26.569
  • It's operational reality.
  • 00:02:26.569 --> 00:02:28.938
  • But or eitan is just one part of a much bigger revolution.
  • 00:02:28.938 --> 00:02:32.108
  • Israel's ministry of defense now says openly,
  • 00:02:32.108 --> 00:02:34.577
  • We were once known as a cyber nation
  • 00:02:34.577 --> 00:02:37.213
  • And today we are a defense-tech nation.
  • 00:02:37.213 --> 00:02:40.416
  • In the last year alone,
  • 00:02:40.917 --> 00:02:42.218
  • The ministry signed more than 20 big government to government
  • 00:02:42.218 --> 00:02:45.755
  • Or g to g defense deals
  • 00:02:45.755 --> 00:02:47.590
  • And invested heavily in hundreds of startups,
  • 00:02:47.590 --> 00:02:50.727
  • Many of them already tested in real combat during this war.
  • 00:02:50.727 --> 00:02:54.497
  • Out of this came a completely new idea inside the idf -
  • 00:02:55.632 --> 00:02:59.168
  • An artificial intelligence brigade
  • 00:02:59.168 --> 00:03:01.638
  • Called bina or "understanding."
  • 00:03:01.638 --> 00:03:03.806
  • This new brigade brings together the army's software units,
  • 00:03:03.806 --> 00:03:07.543
  • Data units and ai excellence centers
  • 00:03:07.543 --> 00:03:10.647
  • And turns them into
  • 00:03:10.647 --> 00:03:11.614
  • One operational technological machine.
  • 00:03:11.614 --> 00:03:15.318
  • So what does that mean in practice?
  • 00:03:15.318 --> 00:03:17.153
  • Until now, a commander in the field
  • 00:03:17.153 --> 00:03:19.822
  • Had to wait for reports from different units -
  • 00:03:19.822 --> 00:03:22.058
  • Intelligence, air force, ground forces,
  • 00:03:22.058 --> 00:03:25.128
  • Communications, etc...
  • 00:03:25.128 --> 00:03:26.996
  • And now the goal is that he can ask one question
  • 00:03:26.996 --> 00:03:30.633
  • And an ai system built by israelis
  • 00:03:30.633 --> 00:03:32.969
  • Who understand both tech and warfare
  • 00:03:32.969 --> 00:03:35.838
  • Will give him an immediate answer
  • 00:03:35.838 --> 00:03:37.607
  • Based on everything happening in real time.
  • 00:03:37.607 --> 00:03:40.276
  • One general described it like this -
  • 00:03:40.276 --> 00:03:42.478
  • We want to turn one tank into 100 tanks
  • 00:03:42.478 --> 00:03:45.782
  • And one soldier into 100 soldiers
  • 00:03:45.782 --> 00:03:48.918
  • By giving them the right information
  • 00:03:48.918 --> 00:03:50.820
  • At exactly the right second.
  • 00:03:50.820 --> 00:03:53.556
  • On top of that, israel is also moving
  • 00:03:54.357 --> 00:03:56.459
  • Into a new world of loitering munitions,
  • 00:03:56.459 --> 00:03:59.128
  • Intelligent missiles that behave like small drones.
  • 00:03:59.128 --> 00:04:02.498
  • New weapons from the l-spike family can be launched,
  • 00:04:02.498 --> 00:04:05.902
  • Fly tens of kilometers in just a few minutes,
  • 00:04:05.902 --> 00:04:09.038
  • Circle above a target area,
  • 00:04:09.038 --> 00:04:10.773
  • Search for the right target
  • 00:04:10.773 --> 00:04:12.208
  • Using cameras and artificial intelligence
  • 00:04:12.208 --> 00:04:14.711
  • And then dive in with high precision.
  • 00:04:14.711 --> 00:04:17.780
  • From the outside, it looks like just another missile,
  • 00:04:17.780 --> 00:04:21.184
  • But in reality, it's a flying robot with a brain
  • 00:04:21.184 --> 00:04:24.821
  • Able to navigate without gps,
  • 00:04:24.821 --> 00:04:27.056
  • Resist electronic warfare
  • 00:04:27.056 --> 00:04:28.758
  • And change course until the exact right moment.
  • 00:04:28.758 --> 00:04:32.595
  • So if you put all of this together,
  • 00:04:32.595 --> 00:04:34.664
  • The laser in the north,
  • 00:04:34.664 --> 00:04:35.998
  • The ai brigade in the headquarters,
  • 00:04:35.998 --> 00:04:37.734
  • The small missiles and loitering weapons
  • 00:04:37.734 --> 00:04:39.869
  • In the air and on the ground,
  • 00:04:39.869 --> 00:04:41.304
  • You begin to see a different picture.
  • 00:04:41.304 --> 00:04:43.573
  • Israel is preparing not only for the war of today,
  • 00:04:43.573 --> 00:04:46.743
  • But for the next war.
  • 00:04:46.743 --> 00:04:48.144
  • The one that will decide what the middle east looks like
  • 00:04:48.144 --> 00:04:50.780
  • For many years to come.
  • 00:04:50.780 --> 00:04:52.749
  • And here's the connection to tonight.
  • 00:04:52.749 --> 00:04:54.650
  • All of this is happening exactly
  • 00:04:54.650 --> 00:04:57.220
  • During the season of hanukkah and christmas.
  • 00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:00.156
  • The people of israel are lighting candles
  • 00:05:00.156 --> 00:05:02.358
  • And remembering the miracle of the oil in the temple.
  • 00:05:02.358 --> 00:05:05.628
  • Christians around the world are lighting trees,
  • 00:05:05.628 --> 00:05:08.264
  • They're singing carols
  • 00:05:08.264 --> 00:05:09.399
  • And remembering the birth of jesus in bethlehem,
  • 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:12.502
  • Just a short way from where i'm sitting right now,
  • 00:05:12.502 --> 00:05:14.704
  • Here in this land,
  • 00:05:14.704 --> 00:05:16.139
  • While rockets, drones and missiles
  • 00:05:16.139 --> 00:05:18.007
  • Are being deployed and developed,
  • 00:05:18.007 --> 00:05:19.776
  • So is light.
  • 00:05:19.776 --> 00:05:21.077
  • Light as a weapon and light as a symbol of hope.
  • 00:05:21.077 --> 00:05:24.514
  • And our job tonight is to hold these two truths together.
  • 00:05:24.514 --> 00:05:27.984
  • The high tech reality of war
  • 00:05:27.984 --> 00:05:29.752
  • And the ancient story of god's faithfulness in this land.
  • 00:05:29.752 --> 00:05:34.090
  • Now, before we move on, i want to ask you
  • 00:05:34.090 --> 00:05:36.659
  • If you care about truth from jerusalem,
  • 00:05:36.659 --> 00:05:38.861
  • Help us get this message out.
  • 00:05:38.861 --> 00:05:40.797
  • Please click a like on this video,
  • 00:05:40.797 --> 00:05:42.832
  • Share it with as many people as you can,
  • 00:05:42.832 --> 00:05:45.101
  • Leave us a comment and subscribe to tbn israel on youtube.
  • 00:05:45.101 --> 00:05:48.938
  • That's how you become part of this story.
  • 00:05:48.938 --> 00:05:51.607
  • Standing with israel
  • 00:05:51.607 --> 00:05:52.942
  • And standing with the truth in real time.
  • 00:05:52.942 --> 00:06:00.007
  • And standing with the truth in real time.
  • 00:06:00.007 --> 00:06:05.976
  • Tonight is not just about technology and weapons.
  • 00:06:06.977 --> 00:06:10.247
  • It's about why this country is fighting in the first place.
  • 00:06:10.247 --> 00:06:13.951
  • Hanukkah is the story of a small people who refused to disappear.
  • 00:06:13.951 --> 00:06:18.422
  • The maccabees stood against a huge empire, against an army
  • 00:06:18.422 --> 00:06:22.726
  • That was stronger and bigger
  • 00:06:22.726 --> 00:06:24.662
  • And they said,
  • 00:06:24.662 --> 00:06:25.963
  • We will not give up our faith, we will not give up this temple,
  • 00:06:25.963 --> 00:06:29.366
  • We will not give up this land.
  • 00:06:29.366 --> 00:06:31.468
  • They fought, they won,
  • 00:06:31.468 --> 00:06:33.370
  • They purified the temple and they relit the menorah
  • 00:06:33.370 --> 00:06:36.774
  • Or the hanukkiah, as we now call it.
  • 00:06:36.774 --> 00:06:38.676
  • One small jar of oil that was supposed to last one night,
  • 00:06:38.676 --> 00:06:42.379
  • Burned for eight entire days.
  • 00:06:42.379 --> 00:06:44.715
  • Christmas is another chapter of that same story.
  • 00:06:44.715 --> 00:06:48.752
  • In the hills of judea,
  • 00:06:48.752 --> 00:06:50.421
  • In a small town called bethlehem,
  • 00:06:50.421 --> 00:06:52.890
  • A jewish baby was born to a jewish family
  • 00:06:52.890 --> 00:06:55.926
  • Under the roman empire
  • 00:06:55.926 --> 00:06:57.995
  • And all of us believe that baby is yeshua, jesus,
  • 00:06:57.995 --> 00:07:03.434
  • The light of the world.
  • 00:07:03.434 --> 00:07:05.703
  • The prophet isaiah wrote:
  • 00:07:06.270 --> 00:07:08.172
  • "the people walking in darkness have seen a great light".
  • 00:07:08.172 --> 00:07:13.177
  • That verse was written about this nation and about this land.
  • 00:07:13.177 --> 00:07:17.681
  • That's right.
  • 00:07:18.048 --> 00:07:19.149
  • So when we look out from this porch over jerusalem,
  • 00:07:19.149 --> 00:07:22.353
  • We're looking at the same hills where these stories took place.
  • 00:07:22.353 --> 00:07:26.357
  • Hannukah, the revolt of the maccabees,
  • 00:07:26.357 --> 00:07:28.926
  • The temple, the menorah,
  • 00:07:28.926 --> 00:07:30.928
  • Christmas, bethlehem, nazareth,
  • 00:07:30.928 --> 00:07:33.864
  • Shepherds in the field, jesus walking these very roads.
  • 00:07:33.864 --> 00:07:37.568
  • And today, jews are lighting hanukkah menorahs in jerusalem.
  • 00:07:37.568 --> 00:07:41.772
  • Christians are singing about bethlehem and nazareth.
  • 00:07:41.772 --> 00:07:45.142
  • And at the very same time,
  • 00:07:45.142 --> 00:07:46.877
  • Israeli soldiers are standing on the borders,
  • 00:07:46.877 --> 00:07:50.047
  • Keeping watch so that these stories can continue.
  • 00:07:50.047 --> 00:07:53.117
  • For us, this is not just history.
  • 00:07:53.117 --> 00:07:55.953
  • It's not a museum. it's daily life.
  • 00:07:55.953 --> 00:07:59.289
  • The war, the technology, the lasers,
  • 00:07:59.289 --> 00:08:02.126
  • The tanks, the ai,
  • 00:08:02.126 --> 00:08:04.194
  • All of that is here to protect something very simple.
  • 00:08:04.194 --> 00:08:08.966
  • Families lighting candles.
  • 00:08:08.966 --> 00:08:11.035
  • Children singing songs.
  • 00:08:11.035 --> 00:08:13.637
  • Believers praying in churches and in synagogues.
  • 00:08:13.637 --> 00:08:17.608
  • The freedom of the worship
  • 00:08:17.608 --> 00:08:19.209
  • Of the god of israel in the land of israel.
  • 00:08:19.209 --> 00:08:24.281
  • In just a moment,
  • 00:08:24.715 --> 00:08:25.916
  • We're going to talk about the security situation
  • 00:08:25.916 --> 00:08:28.085
  • On all of israel's fronts,
  • 00:08:28.085 --> 00:08:29.953
  • Gaza, lebanon, iran, syria,
  • 00:08:29.953 --> 00:08:32.556
  • Yemen, judea and samaria.
  • 00:08:32.556 --> 00:08:34.858
  • But we want you to remember this,
  • 00:08:34.858 --> 00:08:37.061
  • That behind every map, behind every front,
  • 00:08:37.061 --> 00:08:39.997
  • There's a story of faith, of light,
  • 00:08:39.997 --> 00:08:42.566
  • And of god's promises to his land.
  • 00:08:42.566 --> 00:08:50.941
  • Let's take a clear look at where israel stands right now.
  • 00:08:52.009 --> 00:08:55.512
  • Israel is facing six main arenas at the same time.
  • 00:08:55.512 --> 00:08:58.949
  • Each one of them is dangerous.
  • 00:08:58.949 --> 00:09:01.051
  • Together, they create a reality that is very explosive
  • 00:09:01.051 --> 00:09:04.955
  • And we'll walk through them one by one.
  • 00:09:04.955 --> 00:09:07.958
  • First, the gaza strip.
  • 00:09:08.459 --> 00:09:10.928
  • Hamas has taken enormous blows.
  • 00:09:10.928 --> 00:09:14.031
  • Its infrastructure is damaged.
  • 00:09:14.031 --> 00:09:17.234
  • Many of its commanders are gone,
  • 00:09:17.935 --> 00:09:20.003
  • But hamas has not disappeared
  • 00:09:20.637 --> 00:09:23.107
  • And according to israeli estimates,
  • 00:09:23.107 --> 00:09:25.142
  • It still has tens of thousands of fighters
  • 00:09:25.142 --> 00:09:28.545
  • And hundreds of rockets,
  • 00:09:28.545 --> 00:09:30.647
  • Some of them ready to be launched.
  • 00:09:30.647 --> 00:09:33.617
  • In the defense establishment they say
  • 00:09:33.617 --> 00:09:35.753
  • Very clearly - the work in gaza is not finished.
  • 00:09:35.753 --> 00:09:39.556
  • Israel is determined to make sure
  • 00:09:39.556 --> 00:09:41.925
  • That hamas does not return
  • 00:09:41.925 --> 00:09:43.827
  • As a strong military and political power.
  • 00:09:43.827 --> 00:09:46.997
  • That may require additional military action
  • 00:09:46.997 --> 00:09:49.967
  • In the future to complete the job.
  • 00:09:49.967 --> 00:09:52.936
  • Secondly, we're talking about lebanon.
  • 00:09:52.936 --> 00:09:55.272
  • The northern front is likely to become the central arena
  • 00:09:56.406 --> 00:09:59.276
  • In the coming period.
  • 00:09:59.276 --> 00:10:00.677
  • Hezbollah has been hit hard,
  • 00:10:00.677 --> 00:10:02.379
  • But it is far from defeated.
  • 00:10:02.379 --> 00:10:04.248
  • Now, current assessments
  • 00:10:04.248 --> 00:10:05.716
  • Talk about tens of thousands of fighters
  • 00:10:05.716 --> 00:10:08.085
  • And a rocket arsenal
  • 00:10:08.085 --> 00:10:09.586
  • That is reduced to under 10,000 rockets,
  • 00:10:09.586 --> 00:10:11.755
  • With only a small portion of them truly precise.
  • 00:10:11.755 --> 00:10:15.259
  • In jerusalem, some see this as a historic opportunity.
  • 00:10:15.259 --> 00:10:19.129
  • If the lebanese government will not disarm hezbollah,
  • 00:10:19.129 --> 00:10:22.266
  • Israel may feel it has to do it by itself.
  • 00:10:22.266 --> 00:10:25.702
  • The killing of senior commander tabatabai
  • 00:10:25.702 --> 00:10:28.005
  • Is seen as only the beginning of this story,
  • 00:10:28.005 --> 00:10:30.474
  • Not the end.
  • 00:10:30.474 --> 00:10:31.842
  • And third - iran.
  • 00:10:32.276 --> 00:10:34.845
  • While the world is busy with gaza and lebanon,
  • 00:10:34.845 --> 00:10:37.981
  • Tehran is moving forward quickly but quietly.
  • 00:10:37.981 --> 00:10:43.086
  • Its ballistic missile program is advancing.
  • 00:10:43.086 --> 00:10:46.857
  • The gaps are closing.
  • 00:10:46.857 --> 00:10:49.459
  • Its long range capabilities
  • 00:10:49.459 --> 00:10:52.029
  • Are becoming, once again, a strategic threat to israel.
  • 00:10:52.029 --> 00:10:56.366
  • Many in the israeli defense community warn
  • 00:10:56.366 --> 00:10:58.836
  • That another major operation may be needed in the near future
  • 00:10:58.836 --> 00:11:03.373
  • To stop iran from becoming
  • 00:11:03.373 --> 00:11:05.142
  • A power that threatens israel's very existence.
  • 00:11:05.142 --> 00:11:09.179
  • And the fourth front is syria.
  • 00:11:09.813 --> 00:11:12.316
  • Now syria looks frozen on the map.
  • 00:11:12.316 --> 00:11:14.585
  • But on the ground it is unstable and dangerous.
  • 00:11:14.585 --> 00:11:17.955
  • Key figures like jihadist leader al-julani and others
  • 00:11:17.955 --> 00:11:21.658
  • Are in the crosshairs of different forces.
  • 00:11:21.658 --> 00:11:24.228
  • The security vacuum in syria
  • 00:11:24.228 --> 00:11:25.662
  • Attracts extreme terrorist groups,
  • 00:11:25.662 --> 00:11:27.698
  • From isis to local branches of hamas
  • 00:11:27.698 --> 00:11:30.267
  • And other organizations.
  • 00:11:30.267 --> 00:11:31.835
  • Israeli assessments say that if such a key figure is eliminated,
  • 00:11:31.835 --> 00:11:36.106
  • A scenario that's considered very realistic,
  • 00:11:36.106 --> 00:11:38.675
  • Israel might have to move
  • 00:11:38.675 --> 00:11:39.676
  • From passive defense along that border
  • 00:11:39.676 --> 00:11:42.312
  • To a much more active campaign inside syrian territory.
  • 00:11:42.312 --> 00:11:45.682
  • Now, many believe
  • 00:11:46.116 --> 00:11:47.384
  • The next big explosion there is only a matter of time.
  • 00:11:47.384 --> 00:11:51.188
  • Fifth - yemen.
  • 00:11:51.555 --> 00:11:53.657
  • From far, far away, it looks like a different world,
  • 00:11:53.657 --> 00:11:57.227
  • But in reality, the houthis in yemen
  • 00:11:57.227 --> 00:11:59.696
  • Are constantly looking at israel.
  • 00:11:59.696 --> 00:12:02.065
  • Recent operations,
  • 00:12:02.499 --> 00:12:03.901
  • Some of them reported, some of them not reported,
  • 00:12:03.901 --> 00:12:07.704
  • Have targeted the houthis leadership,
  • 00:12:07.704 --> 00:12:10.307
  • Including military and defensive figures.
  • 00:12:10.307 --> 00:12:13.277
  • Israel understands one simple lesson from october 7th -
  • 00:12:13.277 --> 00:12:17.514
  • Distance on the map does not mean safety.
  • 00:12:17.514 --> 00:12:20.584
  • The houthis are drawing inspiration from hamas.
  • 00:12:20.584 --> 00:12:25.255
  • The physical distance from yemen to israel is about 2,000 kms,
  • 00:12:25.255 --> 00:12:30.193
  • But with enough motivation that can be crossed.
  • 00:12:30.193 --> 00:12:34.698
  • That's why israeli planners talk about yemen today
  • 00:12:34.698 --> 00:12:38.969
  • As if there's only two kilometers apart
  • 00:12:38.969 --> 00:12:41.738
  • Between us and them, not 2,000.
  • 00:12:41.738 --> 00:12:44.574
  • And the sixth and last arena is judea and samaria,
  • 00:12:45.575 --> 00:12:49.246
  • The one that keeps many
  • 00:12:49.246 --> 00:12:50.247
  • In israel's defense system awake at night.
  • 00:12:50.247 --> 00:12:52.582
  • That is where i am stationed in reserves
  • 00:12:52.582 --> 00:12:54.985
  • And very close to where we sit.
  • 00:12:54.985 --> 00:12:56.653
  • A senior official summed it up in one sentence -
  • 00:12:56.653 --> 00:12:59.256
  • We're not strong enough there in terms of intelligence,
  • 00:12:59.256 --> 00:13:02.125
  • Dangerous weapons are flowing in,
  • 00:13:02.125 --> 00:13:04.394
  • Terrorist cells are gaining confidence and experience,
  • 00:13:04.394 --> 00:13:07.197
  • The system is preparing for the possibility
  • 00:13:07.197 --> 00:13:09.499
  • That a surprise attack could erupt from this very area.
  • 00:13:09.499 --> 00:13:13.036
  • Maybe not on the scale of october the 7th,
  • 00:13:13.036 --> 00:13:15.405
  • But still powerful enough to be a game changer.
  • 00:13:15.405 --> 00:13:18.608
  • The terror organizations have understood
  • 00:13:18.608 --> 00:13:20.744
  • That knife attacks, car rammings
  • 00:13:20.744 --> 00:13:23.046
  • And small shootings will not achieve their goals.
  • 00:13:23.046 --> 00:13:25.716
  • They're studying what hamas did in the south,
  • 00:13:25.716 --> 00:13:27.951
  • And they are training for scenarios
  • 00:13:27.951 --> 00:13:29.886
  • Inspired by that massacre.
  • 00:13:29.886 --> 00:13:31.655
  • So there are six arenas,
  • 00:13:32.155 --> 00:13:33.991
  • Six points of friction all at once.
  • 00:13:33.991 --> 00:13:37.060
  • Gaza, lebanon, iran,
  • 00:13:37.527 --> 00:13:39.663
  • Syria, yemen, judea and samaria.
  • 00:13:39.663 --> 00:13:42.833
  • Israel is standing on a regional fault line
  • 00:13:42.833 --> 00:13:46.436
  • And the decisions made in these days
  • 00:13:46.436 --> 00:13:49.206
  • Will shape what the coming years will look like
  • 00:13:49.206 --> 00:13:52.009
  • For israel and for the whole middle east.
  • 00:13:52.009 --> 00:13:55.479
  • And yet, in the middle of all of that,
  • 00:13:56.313 --> 00:13:58.515
  • Families are lighting hanukkah candles.
  • 00:13:58.515 --> 00:14:00.817
  • Christians are preparing for christmas
  • 00:14:00.817 --> 00:14:02.285
  • In bethlehem and in nazareth
  • 00:14:02.285 --> 00:14:04.287
  • And believers around the world are praying for this land.
  • 00:14:04.287 --> 00:14:07.824
  • In our next segment,
  • 00:14:08.291 --> 00:14:09.493
  • We want to connect this reality on the map
  • 00:14:09.493 --> 00:14:11.695
  • With what christmas actually looks like today
  • 00:14:11.695 --> 00:14:14.364
  • In one of the most important christian cities in israel.
  • 00:14:14.364 --> 00:14:31.848
  • So we just arrived here in nazareth.
  • 00:14:32.616 --> 00:14:34.684
  • And as you can see,
  • 00:14:34.684 --> 00:14:36.086
  • It's all preparations for the christmas holiday,
  • 00:14:36.086 --> 00:14:39.723
  • Which is coming right in the middle of hanukkah.
  • 00:14:39.723 --> 00:14:43.293
  • So it's double the celebration.
  • 00:14:43.293 --> 00:14:45.862
  • Here we are on a tour with the tourism ministry of israel
  • 00:14:45.862 --> 00:14:50.834
  • That are trying to bring more people like you
  • 00:14:50.834 --> 00:14:53.236
  • To come and visit us in person here in the land of israel.
  • 00:14:53.236 --> 00:14:57.874
  • So it's amazing to see that despite all the attacks,
  • 00:14:57.874 --> 00:15:01.745
  • All the wars and everything that's going on,
  • 00:15:01.745 --> 00:15:04.448
  • We can still celebrate the birth of yeshua
  • 00:15:04.448 --> 00:15:07.584
  • And hannukah here in the land of israel.
  • 00:15:07.584 --> 00:15:11.254
  • And if you haven't been here,
  • 00:15:11.254 --> 00:15:14.057
  • The closest thing that you can do
  • 00:15:14.057 --> 00:15:16.059
  • Is watch our tv and israel youtube channel.
  • 00:15:16.059 --> 00:15:17.994
  • So make sure to hit that subscribe button
  • 00:15:17.994 --> 00:15:19.896
  • So that you never miss another episode of my state.
  • 00:15:19.896 --> 00:15:23.366
  • And guys, you like the way that i brought this in,
  • 00:15:23.366 --> 00:15:25.902
  • Let's begin.
  • 00:15:25.902 --> 00:15:35.879
  • Our first stop is the church of annunciation.
  • 00:15:36.813 --> 00:15:40.217
  • In this place, it's believed
  • 00:15:40.217 --> 00:15:41.985
  • That the house of mary was located,
  • 00:15:41.985 --> 00:15:46.623
  • And this is where the angel came to her
  • 00:15:46.623 --> 00:15:49.292
  • And told her that she will have a son
  • 00:15:49.292 --> 00:15:51.795
  • And he will be the messiah of the world.
  • 00:15:51.795 --> 00:15:54.898
  • So it's very interesting to be here in this place.
  • 00:15:54.898 --> 00:15:57.367
  • Let's go check it out.
  • 00:15:57.367 --> 00:16:03.140
  • This is a huge place.
  • 00:16:03.640 --> 00:16:05.208
  • You need to be quiet here,
  • 00:16:05.775 --> 00:16:07.177
  • But check it out.
  • 00:16:07.177 --> 00:16:08.812
  • Let's go into the area
  • 00:16:08.812 --> 00:16:11.448
  • Where the house of mary is supposed to be located,
  • 00:16:11.448 --> 00:16:15.385
  • According to the archaeological findings.
  • 00:16:15.385 --> 00:16:17.921
  • Check it out.
  • 00:16:17.921 --> 00:16:28.331
  • So this is the house of mary.
  • 00:16:28.965 --> 00:16:30.767
  • One thing that was found here as this place was excavated
  • 00:16:30.767 --> 00:16:35.405
  • Is that there is a mikveh.
  • 00:16:35.405 --> 00:16:37.908
  • Mikveh is a jewish well
  • 00:16:38.408 --> 00:16:40.844
  • That the jews needed to purify themselves.
  • 00:16:40.844 --> 00:16:43.513
  • And every time you find that in a village or in a community,
  • 00:16:43.513 --> 00:16:47.384
  • You know that jews were here
  • 00:16:47.384 --> 00:16:49.753
  • Thousands and thousands of years ago.
  • 00:16:49.753 --> 00:16:51.922
  • And we know that mary, the mother of jesus, was jewish.
  • 00:16:51.922 --> 00:16:55.959
  • And this being a jewish village
  • 00:16:55.959 --> 00:16:58.795
  • Reinforces the fact that this might be her actual house
  • 00:16:58.795 --> 00:17:03.934
  • Or someplace in this area.
  • 00:17:03.934 --> 00:17:15.178
  • So i just learned something new.
  • 00:17:15.812 --> 00:17:18.014
  • You see this amazing, beautiful dome
  • 00:17:18.014 --> 00:17:20.150
  • Here in the top of this church?
  • 00:17:20.784 --> 00:17:24.054
  • This is the highest dome of a church in the middle east.
  • 00:17:24.054 --> 00:17:28.325
  • This is amazing to see,
  • 00:17:28.325 --> 00:17:29.659
  • But it's also a reminder that freedom of religion,
  • 00:17:29.659 --> 00:17:33.563
  • Especially for christians,
  • 00:17:33.563 --> 00:17:35.865
  • You can only find that in israel, in the middle east.
  • 00:17:35.865 --> 00:17:42.572
  • This is a japanese jesus, okay?
  • 00:17:43.206 --> 00:17:46.610
  • Take a look at this.
  • 00:17:47.077 --> 00:17:48.411
  • In this church you can see jesus, mary
  • 00:17:48.411 --> 00:17:51.514
  • In all kinds of different paintings.
  • 00:17:51.514 --> 00:17:56.253
  • And what i liked about this is that every culture
  • 00:17:56.253 --> 00:18:00.423
  • Wants to see jesus as their own,
  • 00:18:00.423 --> 00:18:04.160
  • Something that they can resemble to him personally.
  • 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.464
  • And i think that that's what it's all about.
  • 00:18:07.464 --> 00:18:09.799
  • It's about having your own personal jesus
  • 00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:13.603
  • That you can relate to on a personal level.
  • 00:18:13.603 --> 00:18:16.206
  • So this is pretty cool.
  • 00:18:16.206 --> 00:18:33.123
  • So after asking the people here,
  • 00:18:33.757 --> 00:18:36.359
  • What's the reason
  • 00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:37.460
  • That they didn't celebrate christmas for two years?
  • 00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:40.430
  • The answer that we got was very, very touching.
  • 00:18:40.430 --> 00:18:43.066
  • The christian leadership,
  • 00:18:43.633 --> 00:18:45.235
  • Christian community here in israel stated
  • 00:18:45.235 --> 00:18:48.038
  • That their heart is with the jewish people of israel
  • 00:18:48.038 --> 00:18:52.475
  • During this time of war
  • 00:18:52.475 --> 00:18:54.244
  • And because of all the suffering,
  • 00:18:54.244 --> 00:18:55.545
  • All the war that was going on here,
  • 00:18:55.545 --> 00:18:57.947
  • They didn't feel right to celebrate this holiday
  • 00:18:57.947 --> 00:19:00.483
  • Like they used to
  • 00:19:00.483 --> 00:19:01.985
  • While the entire jewish community of israel
  • 00:19:01.985 --> 00:19:04.954
  • Were suffering with hostages in the gaza strip,
  • 00:19:04.954 --> 00:19:08.425
  • With attacks from the north,
  • 00:19:08.425 --> 00:19:10.060
  • Attacks from iran.
  • 00:19:10.493 --> 00:19:11.895
  • It just shows again and again
  • 00:19:11.895 --> 00:19:14.064
  • That the true friends of israel
  • 00:19:14.064 --> 00:19:16.499
  • Are the christian community here
  • 00:19:17.133 --> 00:19:20.136
  • And also all around the world.
  • 00:19:20.770 --> 00:19:22.505
  • All of you.
  • 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:30.004
  • All of you.
  • 00:19:30.004 --> 00:19:35.671
  • You saw the lights, the churches, the people.
  • 00:19:36.638 --> 00:19:39.441
  • And behind that there is also the reality
  • 00:19:39.441 --> 00:19:41.543
  • That we talked about earlier -
  • 00:19:41.543 --> 00:19:43.378
  • Pressure from radical islam, economic challenges,
  • 00:19:43.378 --> 00:19:46.949
  • And the feeling of living your faith in the middle of a storm.
  • 00:19:46.949 --> 00:19:50.819
  • So yair, you just spent
  • 00:19:50.819 --> 00:19:52.855
  • A whole day in pre-christmas nazareth.
  • 00:19:52.855 --> 00:19:55.190
  • Yeah.
  • 00:19:55.190 --> 00:19:56.024
  • And you got to see what that city,
  • 00:19:56.024 --> 00:19:57.459
  • Which was a very dominant christian city
  • 00:19:57.459 --> 00:19:59.928
  • In northern israel,
  • 00:19:59.928 --> 00:20:01.029
  • How it gets ready for christmas,
  • 00:20:01.029 --> 00:20:03.198
  • How the population there celebrates.
  • 00:20:03.198 --> 00:20:04.600
  • What did you see?
  • 00:20:04.600 --> 00:20:06.001
  • So first of all, i think
  • 00:20:06.001 --> 00:20:07.269
  • I saw people preparing the tree
  • 00:20:07.269 --> 00:20:09.671
  • And all the christmas lights and all the celebrations.
  • 00:20:09.671 --> 00:20:12.040
  • So there is an atmosphere of christmas there.
  • 00:20:12.040 --> 00:20:14.743
  • But we also see that islam is predominantly controlling
  • 00:20:14.743 --> 00:20:19.948
  • Many areas of nazareth today.
  • 00:20:19.948 --> 00:20:22.251
  • And this is the same case as happening in bethlehem
  • 00:20:22.251 --> 00:20:25.187
  • And in other former christian cities or villages
  • 00:20:25.187 --> 00:20:29.424
  • In the country of israel.
  • 00:20:29.424 --> 00:20:31.126
  • Like cana, where jesus was at the wedding,
  • 00:20:31.126 --> 00:20:34.530
  • Turning water into wine.
  • 00:20:34.530 --> 00:20:36.231
  • So all these places are becoming more and more muslim
  • 00:20:36.231 --> 00:20:41.203
  • And many of the christian communities
  • 00:20:41.203 --> 00:20:43.038
  • Are deciding to leave this country
  • 00:20:43.038 --> 00:20:45.340
  • And find houses outside of this land,
  • 00:20:45.340 --> 00:20:47.309
  • Which is sad.
  • 00:20:47.309 --> 00:20:49.077
  • But there still is a christmas celebration there.
  • 00:20:49.077 --> 00:20:50.712
  • Yes. -it still feels comfortable and safe.
  • 00:20:50.712 --> 00:20:53.081
  • Yes, it is.
  • 00:20:53.081 --> 00:20:54.249
  • It's very safe, it's comfortable
  • 00:20:54.249 --> 00:20:56.385
  • And there are many israelis
  • 00:20:56.385 --> 00:20:57.986
  • That are actually traveling to nazareth
  • 00:20:57.986 --> 00:21:00.923
  • To celebrate christmas or to be part
  • 00:21:00.923 --> 00:21:03.191
  • Of the christmas festivities,
  • 00:21:03.191 --> 00:21:04.993
  • Together with the local christians in the city.
  • 00:21:04.993 --> 00:21:08.263
  • So i think what you're describing is part of this trend
  • 00:21:08.263 --> 00:21:10.299
  • That's been taking place in the middle east,
  • 00:21:10.299 --> 00:21:12.367
  • Where christianity and other religious minorities
  • 00:21:12.367 --> 00:21:15.404
  • Are starting slowly and steadily,i guess,
  • 00:21:15.404 --> 00:21:17.940
  • Being squeezed out of their different cities.
  • 00:21:17.940 --> 00:21:21.009
  • That process is much slower and much safer, i guess
  • 00:21:21.009 --> 00:21:24.046
  • Inside israel proper.
  • 00:21:24.046 --> 00:21:25.380
  • Because you have a police,
  • 00:21:25.380 --> 00:21:26.582
  • Because you have freedom of worship, of religion to all,
  • 00:21:26.582 --> 00:21:29.718
  • All the religions, basically
  • 00:21:29.718 --> 00:21:31.386
  • Judaism, christian and also islam.
  • 00:21:31.386 --> 00:21:34.690
  • Also islam. -exactly.
  • 00:21:34.690 --> 00:21:35.624
  • But inside the palestinian authority
  • 00:21:35.624 --> 00:21:36.658
  • It's been a very, very, very,
  • 00:21:36.658 --> 00:21:38.560
  • Very fast process of the christian population
  • 00:21:38.560 --> 00:21:41.330
  • Leaving or being squeezed out or pushed out
  • 00:21:41.330 --> 00:21:43.465
  • Of what used to be christian cities,
  • 00:21:43.465 --> 00:21:44.866
  • Bethlehem is a great example of that,
  • 00:21:44.866 --> 00:21:46.635
  • Where it used to be a christian majority city,
  • 00:21:46.635 --> 00:21:48.270
  • Now christian minority.
  • 00:21:48.270 --> 00:21:50.639
  • We're not exactly sure... -serious minority,
  • 00:21:50.639 --> 00:21:52.274
  • But we don't know the numbers exactly. -exactly.
  • 00:21:52.274 --> 00:21:54.543
  • But nazareth is an interesting story
  • 00:21:54.543 --> 00:21:56.378
  • Because it is a relatively safe city,
  • 00:21:56.378 --> 00:21:58.447
  • It's a relatively affluent city, it's within israel proper
  • 00:21:58.447 --> 00:22:02.250
  • And even there you can still see
  • 00:22:02.250 --> 00:22:03.819
  • The pressures of the muslim population
  • 00:22:03.819 --> 00:22:06.421
  • On the christian population.
  • 00:22:06.421 --> 00:22:07.956
  • And it's a story that's taking place
  • 00:22:07.956 --> 00:22:09.091
  • Throughout the middle east,
  • 00:22:09.091 --> 00:22:10.225
  • Where population that is highly educated,
  • 00:22:10.225 --> 00:22:12.127
  • Highly connected,
  • 00:22:12.127 --> 00:22:13.528
  • Eventually looks elsewhere when things become uncomfortable.
  • 00:22:13.528 --> 00:22:16.465
  • That happened to an extreme degree
  • 00:22:16.465 --> 00:22:17.666
  • In lebanon in the civil war,
  • 00:22:17.666 --> 00:22:19.301
  • Where the christian population,
  • 00:22:19.301 --> 00:22:20.802
  • After some of the palestinian organizations
  • 00:22:20.802 --> 00:22:23.138
  • Came in the late 70s, then in the 80s,
  • 00:22:23.138 --> 00:22:26.008
  • They just got up and left
  • 00:22:26.008 --> 00:22:27.009
  • And created a demographic shift in the country
  • 00:22:27.009 --> 00:22:29.711
  • And even in israel that is relatively active
  • 00:22:29.711 --> 00:22:32.848
  • In protecting the christian population.
  • 00:22:32.848 --> 00:22:35.050
  • It does what it can.
  • 00:22:35.050 --> 00:22:36.485
  • I should say, inside the mixed arab cities.
  • 00:22:36.485 --> 00:22:38.987
  • Even there, you still see the pressure of muslim population
  • 00:22:38.987 --> 00:22:42.290
  • On the christian population.
  • 00:22:42.290 --> 00:22:48.997
  • Tonight we've tried to show you the full picture
  • 00:22:49.965 --> 00:22:52.601
  • From lasers in the north
  • 00:22:52.601 --> 00:22:54.169
  • And ai in the battlefield,
  • 00:22:54.169 --> 00:22:55.771
  • To candles in jerusalem and christmas lights in nazareth,
  • 00:22:55.771 --> 00:22:59.141
  • From six active fronts
  • 00:22:59.141 --> 00:23:00.909
  • And enemies who dreamed to destroy this country,
  • 00:23:00.909 --> 00:23:03.545
  • To families who just want to live,
  • 00:23:03.545 --> 00:23:06.348
  • Raise their children and worship god in peace in this land.
  • 00:23:06.348 --> 00:23:10.152
  • The story of this land was never simple,
  • 00:23:10.986 --> 00:23:14.089
  • But through all of it we see the same pattern again and again -
  • 00:23:14.089 --> 00:23:19.428
  • A small people surrounded by bigger powers
  • 00:23:19.428 --> 00:23:23.965
  • Saying we will not disappear,
  • 00:23:23.965 --> 00:23:26.234
  • And a faithful god who continues to shine his light
  • 00:23:26.234 --> 00:23:30.739
  • In the middle of all this darkness.
  • 00:23:30.739 --> 00:23:32.874
  • That's right.
  • 00:23:32.874 --> 00:23:33.842
  • So if this special helped you understand
  • 00:23:33.842 --> 00:23:35.277
  • What is happening here,
  • 00:23:35.277 --> 00:23:36.712

  • From jerusalem in real time.
  • 00:23:50.058 --> 00:23:52.828
  • So let's finish up in prayer.
  • 00:23:53.462 --> 00:23:55.130
  • Because as we've learned in this war, this is a spiritual war.
  • 00:23:55.130 --> 00:23:59.835
  • And the only way, mati,
  • 00:23:59.835 --> 00:24:01.369
  • That i know how to fight a spiritual war is to pray.
  • 00:24:01.369 --> 00:24:04.840
  • So let's unite in prayer.
  • 00:24:04.840 --> 00:24:06.541
  • As we pray, let's pray for wisdom to our leaders,
  • 00:24:06.541 --> 00:24:09.778
  • For the idf soldiers
  • 00:24:09.778 --> 00:24:11.480
  • And for all the people that are affected
  • 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:14.249
  • By these terrorist regimes in this land.
  • 00:24:14.249 --> 00:24:16.518
  • So our father in heaven,
  • 00:24:16.518 --> 00:24:20.288
  • Thank you for everything that you've done for us,
  • 00:24:20.288 --> 00:24:24.159
  • For me personally, for our team and for the nation of israel.
  • 00:24:24.159 --> 00:24:27.763
  • Thank you for being a faithful god
  • 00:24:27.763 --> 00:24:30.098
  • In small things,
  • 00:24:30.098 --> 00:24:31.266
  • And thank you for being a faithful god in huge things.
  • 00:24:31.266 --> 00:24:35.170
  • Thank you for performing small miracles and huge miracles.
  • 00:24:35.170 --> 00:24:40.208
  • Thank you for shining your light in all of this darkness.
  • 00:24:40.208 --> 00:24:44.446
  • Thank you for being a truthful god.

  • We pray for wisdom to our leaders.
  • 00:24:49.885 --> 00:24:52.320
  • We pray for safety to our soldiers.
  • 00:24:52.320 --> 00:24:55.690
  • We pray for happiness to our children
  • 00:24:55.690 --> 00:24:57.993
  • Who are lighting the hanukkiah, the menorah candles
  • 00:24:57.993 --> 00:25:01.630
  • And eating "sufganiyot", which are donuts, israeli made donuts.
  • 00:25:01.630 --> 00:25:06.434
  • Thank you for the good memories of the holidays.
  • 00:25:06.434 --> 00:25:10.338
  • Thank you for bringing your one and only son to this land

  • And thank you for standing with the people of israel.
  • 00:25:24.953 --> 00:25:28.723
  • We are praying for the peace of jerusalem
  • 00:25:28.723 --> 00:25:30.959
  • In the name of yeshua hamashiach. amen. -amen.
  • 00:25:30.959 --> 00:25:34.563
  • Let me just add one more prayer.
  • 00:25:34.563 --> 00:25:36.298
  • Father, that we pray for those who are in darkness,
  • 00:25:36.298 --> 00:25:38.466
  • That they will see your light.
  • 00:25:38.466 --> 00:25:40.468
  • For those who are under the oppression
  • 00:25:40.468 --> 00:25:43.638
  • Of deep religion, of hatred, of blindness to your truth,
  • 00:25:43.638 --> 00:25:47.909
  • That they would see your light, the people in israel,
  • 00:25:47.909 --> 00:25:50.345
  • The people in the arab countries and muslim countries around us,
  • 00:25:50.345 --> 00:25:52.981
  • That it would find your light, your truth in this season.
  • 00:25:52.981 --> 00:25:56.117
  • That they would find in the story of christmas,
  • 00:25:56.117 --> 00:25:58.186
  • In the supernatural birth of our messiah,
  • 00:25:58.186 --> 00:26:00.121
  • In the story of hanukkah
  • 00:26:00.622 --> 00:26:01.623
  • And the supernatural provision and protection
  • 00:26:01.623 --> 00:26:03.191
  • Of the people of israel,
  • 00:26:03.191 --> 00:26:04.492
  • A light that they can follow, a light that they can count on,
  • 00:26:04.492 --> 00:26:07.162
  • That they can build their lives on
  • 00:26:07.162 --> 00:26:08.763
  • The light that is the true one god
  • 00:26:08.763 --> 00:26:11.600
  • In their lives and in the lives of their people.
  • 00:26:11.600 --> 00:26:14.269
  • And we ask that for everyone who walks in darkness,
  • 00:26:14.269 --> 00:26:16.504
  • Everyone who is without you in this holiday season,
  • 00:26:16.504 --> 00:26:19.507
  • In your name we pray. amen. -amen.
  • 00:26:19.507 --> 00:26:23.011
  • Thank you, mati. -thank you, yair.
  • 00:26:23.778 --> 00:26:25.080
  • Happy holidays.
  • 00:26:25.080 --> 00:26:26.014
  • Happy hanukkah.
  • 00:26:26.381 --> 00:26:27.949
  • Happy christmas. merry christmas.
  • 00:26:27.949 --> 00:26:27.949
