Boots on the Ground | June 5, 2025 | Boots on the Ground | June 5, 2025

I'm bringing you boots on the ground and delivering all the
00:00:08.611 --> 00:00:12.582
Truth about what is happening in israel. almost simultaneous fire
00:00:12.582 --> 00:00:18.054
Was launched towards israel from southern syria and from yemen,
00:00:18.054 --> 00:00:22.658
And triggered sirens in the golan and the galilee northern
00:00:22.658 --> 00:00:26.863
Regions of israel, while another ballistic missile was fired at
00:00:26.863 --> 00:00:31.200
Israel by the houthis in yemen and intercepted. the idf
00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:35.938
Responded to the rockets by striking syrian regime targets
00:00:35.938 --> 00:00:39.609
In quneitra, in syria, and in daraa provinces, and clarified
00:00:39.609 --> 00:00:44.614
The regime is responsible for any hostile activity from its
00:00:44.614 --> 00:00:49.552
Territory, and at the same time, the idf ground forces have taken
00:00:49.552 --> 00:00:54.357
Control of 45% of the gaza strip as hamas, whose grip is
00:00:54.357 --> 00:00:59.595
Crumbling, responds with fire and propaganda while denying
00:00:59.595 --> 00:01:04.667
Responsibility for the humanitarian disaster it has
00:01:04.667 --> 00:01:08.337
Created. and speaking of which, for aid distribution centers
00:01:08.337 --> 00:01:12.408
Have been established in full coordination with the united
00:01:12.408 --> 00:01:15.945
States to open in rafah and in the northern part of the gaza
00:01:15.945 --> 00:01:20.216
Strip. but within minutes, crowds broke in and looted while
00:01:20.216 --> 00:01:25.488
Warning shots were fired. after ten minutes of chaos, the dust
00:01:25.488 --> 00:01:30.560
Began to settle and the site was cleaned up so that distribution
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:35.031
Could continue. the next day, the idf states that the project
00:01:35.031 --> 00:01:39.368
Will continue despite hamas's threats. while more than 400
00:01:39.368 --> 00:01:44.207
Trucks wait at the kerem shalom crossing and the warehouses on
00:01:44.207 --> 00:01:49.011
The israeli border with gaza, and the united nations refuses
00:01:49.011 --> 00:01:54.317
To cooperate in the diplomatic arena, it was revealed that
00:01:54.317 --> 00:01:57.487
Hamas has demanded a 90 day ceasefire and to hand the gaza
00:01:57.487 --> 00:02:02.492
Strip over to its control, contrary to the witkoff outline,
00:02:02.492 --> 00:02:06.929
Prompting the united states envoy to reply you will not get
00:02:06.929 --> 00:02:10.500
A single day beyond 60. and amidst the negotiations, the idf
00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:15.838
Suffered heavy losses. three givati idf infantry soldiers
00:02:15.838 --> 00:02:21.344
Were killed by explosive devices in the jabalia area in the gaza
00:02:21.344 --> 00:02:26.349
Strip on tuesday, and in the north, a hezbollah radwan force
00:02:26.349 --> 00:02:30.953
Unit that tried to rebuild infrastructure iuthern
00:02:30.953 --> 00:02:34.490
Lebanon was eliminated this week. washington is sending
00:02:34.490 --> 00:02:38.594
Special envoy morgan ortagus to beirut and signaling that it is
00:02:38.594 --> 00:02:44.700
Time for normalization in the graduated steps, similar to the
00:02:44.700 --> 00:02:48.905
Track with syria. yet hezbollah rejects any disarmament in syria
00:02:48.905 --> 00:02:54.744
Itself. signals of isis resurgence are evident, and the
00:02:54.744 --> 00:02:59.782
Withdrawal of american troops appears to accelerate jihadist
00:02:59.782 --> 00:03:04.086
Recruitment, while israel warns interim president al-julani of a
00:03:04.086 --> 00:03:08.424
Full response to the rocket fire. so tbn.tv reohm senior
00:03:08.424 --> 00:03:12.762
Middle east analyst matti shoshani will take us through
00:03:12.762 --> 00:03:16.032
Why iran is presenting a new nuclear proposal to the united
00:03:16.032 --> 00:03:20.603
States, according to a report on the axios website in washington.
00:03:20.603 --> 00:03:25.575
The pressure on iran continues as the white house presents a
00:03:25.575 --> 00:03:29.245
Plan for limited regional uranium enrichment in exchange
00:03:29.245 --> 00:03:33.583
For ending the enrichment on tehran's soil within a few
00:03:33.583 --> 00:03:37.420
Years. tehran has already rejected this idea, claiming it
00:03:37.420 --> 00:03:42.158
Raises many questions yet simultaneously proposing a
00:03:42.158 --> 00:03:46.429
Regional consortium inside iran itself. trump warns netanyahu
00:03:46.429 --> 00:03:52.268
Not to start a confrontation that would harm the talks, even
00:03:52.268 --> 00:03:56.505
Though senior israelis fear the establishment of a new nuclear
00:03:56.505 --> 00:04:00.576
Reactor on an island in the gulf. and meanwhile, the shin
00:04:00.576 --> 00:04:04.547

Houthis call on foreign companies to leave israel in

Moment, we'll turn to tbn, israel's senior middle east

Analyst matti shoshani. but first, we'll go to a short
00:05:21.490 --> 00:05:25.494
Commercial break, after which we'll dive into the depth of the
00:05:25.494 --> 00:05:31.167
Situation with iran. a war zone in thea strip being under
00:05:31.167 --> 00:05:38.674
Fire by hamas terrorists. you don't have time to sit and drink
00:05:38.674 --> 00:05:41.844
Your coffee and wake up in the morning and get ready for the
00:05:41.844 --> 00:05:45.815
Day and prepare. so sometimes i woke up at two in the morning
00:05:45.815 --> 00:05:49.618
After an hour and a half of sleep, and you need to wake up
00:05:49.618 --> 00:05:53.789
Immediately and do your job and do it to perfection. or people
00:05:53.789 --> 00:05:58.127
Die.
00:05:58.127 --> 00:05:59.362
>> you literally have your life on the line. you don't know what
00:05:59.462 --> 00:06:02.064
Corner you turn, and somebody got a gun pointed at you.
00:06:02.064 --> 00:06:08.971
>> so we know that to wake up, i just took a pill and i really
00:06:08.971 --> 00:06:12.908
Felt the energy levels go up faster. the clarity of mind that
00:06:12.908 --> 00:06:17.146
Doesn't usually happen immediately when you wake up in
00:06:17.146 --> 00:06:19.849
The morning. and i don't remember taking much stuff with
00:06:19.849 --> 00:06:22.952
Me into the gaza strip. had my sleeping bag, a flashlight, and
00:06:22.952 --> 00:06:26.589
A vineyards bottle. so that's what i had with me.
00:06:26.589 --> 00:06:31.093
>> you're a young person, you're very hea, but you still
00:06:31.093 --> 00:06:33.696
Think that vinea was helpful to get you to even a higher level
00:06:33.696 --> 00:06:38.367
Of performance.
00:06:38.367 --> 00:06:39.602
>> it's helping me to exceed my normal abilities. so let's say,
00:06:39.702 --> 00:06:43.139
You know, i'm at 100%, and that puts me at 120. with raising
00:06:43.139 --> 00:06:48.043
Three kids, you need to be sharp to make the right decisions.
00:06:48.043 --> 00:06:51.213
>> raising three kids may be equal to combat.
00:06:51.213 --> 00:06:54.650
>> a lot harder, a lot harder. listen, i'm still taking dinner
00:06:54.650 --> 00:06:58.120
Every day because i want to be there with my kids when they
00:06:58.120 --> 00:07:01.390
Grow old. i want to be able to dance at their wedding and carry
00:07:01.390 --> 00:07:04.693
My kids and my grandkids for years to come. and this is the
00:07:04.693 --> 00:07:08.697
Time to start. i mean, when you're young.
00:07:08.697 --> 00:07:19.475
Thank you for returning to boots on the ground. now

Let's look at the situationi let's look at the situationh
00:07:23.345 --> 00:07:24.814
Let's look at the situationh the head of the axis of evil in
00:07:24.814 --> 00:07:26.715
The middle east, the islamic revolutionary guard corps in
00:07:26.715 --> 00:07:30.519
Iran. we turn to tibi and israel's senior middle east
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.856
Analyst, matti shoshani, who will review why the united
00:07:33.856 --> 00:07:37.359
States is losing patience with iran to the point that president
00:07:37.359 --> 00:07:41.697
Donald trump issued another threat. matti, what does iran
00:07:41.697 --> 00:07:46.068
Want now? what's going to happen in this region? let us know.
00:07:46.068 --> 00:07:50.372
>> here i am once again talking about the same thing we've been
00:07:50.372 --> 00:07:53.742
Talking about for months now, an attempt to reach an agreement
00:07:53.742 --> 00:07:57.279
With the iranians regarding their nuclear program. and let
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:00.549
Me tell you, the cliffnotes of this entire story that's taking
00:08:00.549 --> 00:08:03.686
Place in front of our eyes. the news is not positive. it's
00:08:03.686 --> 00:08:06.522
Actually quite negative. and i'll give you the summary. the
00:08:06.522 --> 00:08:10.226
Summary is, is that for months now, the us has been pushing the
00:08:10.226 --> 00:08:14.864
Iranians towards an agreement in which they agree to stop
00:08:14.864 --> 00:08:18.701
Enriching uranium, to remove the enriched uranium from the
00:08:18.701 --> 00:08:21.971
Country, and to go back to a different mode of operation
00:08:21.971 --> 00:08:25.441
Where they're not, again, actively attempting warfare
00:08:25.441 --> 00:08:29.545
Against the people of israel. well, here's the problem. time
00:08:29.545 --> 00:08:33.148
And time and time and time again, i can't say that enough
00:08:33.148 --> 00:08:37.253
Times. the iranians flat out refuse every such response, and
00:08:37.253 --> 00:08:41.023
They've done so once again. this last week has shown us the us
00:08:41.023 --> 00:08:44.760
Float yet another agreement that they're calling the final offer.
00:08:44.760 --> 00:08:49.398
And i give the air quotes because we've heard several of
00:08:49.398 --> 00:08:52.701
These before the final offer to what's going to happen with the
00:08:52.701 --> 00:08:55.871
Iranians. and the offer says some very, very vague language
00:08:55.871 --> 00:08:59.475
About. and we'll get into this in detail in a second about
00:08:59.475 --> 00:09:02.678
Removing some of the enriched uranium from iran, finding a
00:09:02.678 --> 00:09:06.615
Third country or separate country that would hold the
00:09:06.615 --> 00:09:09.985
Enriched uranium for the iranians, and building new
00:09:09.985 --> 00:09:11.687
Enrichment facilities for the iranians off the shore of iran
00:09:11.687 --> 00:09:15.457
Or the shores of iran. and iran, as per usual, does what they've
00:09:15.457 --> 00:09:19.662
Done every single time that such an agreement has been presented.
00:09:19.662 --> 00:09:22.565
And they say we will enrich uranium only locally in iran,
00:09:22.565 --> 00:09:26.201
And we will not give up on our stockpiles of enriched uranium.
00:09:26.201 --> 00:09:30.339
All of this is happening with the backdrop of what's happened
00:09:30.339 --> 00:09:33.576
In the last week and a half or so, wherein iaea report, the
00:09:33.576 --> 00:09:37.913
International atomic energy agency comes out with a report
00:09:37.913 --> 00:09:40.849
Saying the iranians have far more enriched uranium than we
00:09:40.849 --> 00:09:43.786
Expected them to. we don't know how to supervise their
00:09:43.786 --> 00:09:47.590
Facilities. we're not aware we're unable to track the number
00:09:47.590 --> 00:09:50.559
Of centrifuges that they actively have running, nor do we
00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:53.295
Know the amount of stockpiled uranium. and it gets worse. what
00:09:53.295 --> 00:09:57.066
They do know is, is that very likely the iranians have far
00:09:57.066 --> 00:10:00.569
More enriched uranium at a much higher grade, and they're
00:10:00.569 --> 00:10:04.006
Enriching uranium at a at a rate that would allow them to create
00:10:04.006 --> 00:10:08.210
9 to 10 bombs at least per year. that is a very high rate of
00:10:08.210 --> 00:10:12.781
Enriching uranium, far more than what they need if they're going
00:10:12.781 --> 00:10:15.751
On a peaceful route. and all of this brings us back to this
00:10:15.751 --> 00:10:18.520
Point where we're standing here today, we're going to be facing
00:10:18.520 --> 00:10:21.624
An iran that has ballistic missiles, that has air defenses
00:10:21.624 --> 00:10:25.728
Again, that has enriched uranium and possibly has a nuclear bomb.
00:10:25.728 --> 00:10:29.431
And that simply is something israel cannot contend with. our
00:10:29.431 --> 00:10:34.036
Leaders are facing a very, very difficult time where they have
00:10:34.036 --> 00:10:36.805
To make a very bold decision about a very clear evil that
00:10:36.805 --> 00:10:40.576
We're presented with. this has happened many times throughout
00:10:40.576 --> 00:10:43.579
History, and now more than ever, the iranians need to be dealt
00:10:43.579 --> 00:10:46.882
With. and it's to be or a very clear agreement. where there is
00:10:46.882 --> 00:10:49.952
No enriched uranium, there is no enriching uranium in present
00:10:49.952 --> 00:10:53.422
Progressive. and the iranians stop exporting terrorism to this
00:10:53.422 --> 00:10:57.760
Region. and unless that happens, the only right thing that israel
00:10:57.760 --> 00:11:01.330
And the us can do is strike now and strike hard to prevent the
00:11:01.330 --> 00:11:05.734
Iranians from having a bomb before 2025 is over, the
00:11:05.734 --> 00:11:10.339
Iranians mean business and their plan to carry out that business
00:11:10.339 --> 00:11:13.876
And action needs to be taken. we're trying to stay on top of
00:11:13.876 --> 00:11:17.646
Everything that's happening, and things here are moving at a
00:11:17.646 --> 00:11:19.915
Rapid pace, and we need to make sure that you subscribe and stay

00:11:23.385 --> 00:11:26.188
Now back to ali pinto.

>> thank you very much, marty, for all the information that you

Prepared for you about what is happening deep inside the gaza
00:11:35.798 --> 00:11:40.169
Strip in the idf's new operation, nicknamed gideon's
00:11:40.169 --> 00:11:44.773
Chariots. we went out to bring you the truth. boots on the
00:11:44.773 --> 00:11:48.844
Ground style. muhammad sinwar is dead. the brother of hamas
00:11:48.844 --> 00:11:53.882
Leader yahia sinwar and one of hamas's most dangerous military
00:11:53.882 --> 00:11:58.887
Commanders, was terminated in a targeted israeli airstrike in
00:11:58.887 --> 00:12:03.559
Khan yunis. his body was later found deep underground, hidden
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:08.664
In a tunnel near the rafah border crossing. this wasn't
00:12:08.664 --> 00:12:13.068
Just another strike, this was a turning point. the idf has now
00:12:13.068 --> 00:12:18.307
Taken out the last of hamas top leadership inside the gaza
00:12:18.307 --> 00:12:22.544
Strip. the terror group's command structure is crushed.
00:12:22.544 --> 00:12:27.316
It's all part of the idf's most intense operation yet. gideon's
00:12:27.316 --> 00:12:33.021
Chariots, a sweeping military campaign designed to break
00:12:33.021 --> 00:12:37.292
Hamas's infrastructure and bring our hostages back home. right
00:12:37.292 --> 00:12:43.065
Now, ground forces are moving through the gaza strip like
00:12:43.065 --> 00:12:47.035
Never before. airstrikes continue every few minutes,
00:12:47.035 --> 00:12:51.707
Tightening the noose around what remains of hamas fighters, and
00:12:51.707 --> 00:12:56.078
At the same time, negotiations for the release of the hostages
00:12:56.078 --> 00:13:00.716
Are still underway, with enormous pressure bearing down
00:13:00.716 --> 00:13:05.220
On hamas from every direction. so, guys, i'm walking here on
00:13:05.220 --> 00:13:11.026
The border with gaza, about to join matti shoshani to take you
00:13:11.026 --> 00:13:14.429
Guys inside this unprecedented moment. what is gideon's
00:13:14.429 --> 00:13:20.169
Chariots really about? what is the idf trying to achieve and
00:13:20.169 --> 00:13:24.773
What might happen next? and before we begin, hit subscribe
00:13:24.773 --> 00:13:29.845
And be part of our mission to share the truth about what is
00:13:29.845 --> 00:13:33.782
Happening in israel and pray for the peace of jerusalem. back
00:13:33.782 --> 00:13:45.694
Again to the border between israel and the gaza strip. just
00:13:45.694 --> 00:13:51.400
Days after operation gideon's chariots was launched. so stay
00:13:51.400 --> 00:13:57.339
Tuned and check out the view. see this bomb shelter with the
00:13:57.339 --> 00:14:02.277
Dog on it? that's a bomb shelter coming up right to my right.
00:14:02.277 --> 00:14:06.849
What's the what is the biggest israeli city and the closest to
00:14:06.849 --> 00:14:11.887
The gaza strip? this city is heavily attacked by rockets for
00:14:11.887 --> 00:14:16.992
More than 20 years. almost. but the cool thing about here and
00:14:16.992 --> 00:14:20.896
About the people of israel in general, is that life goes on. i
00:14:20.896 --> 00:14:24.633
Mean, you can see cars, people going to walk, living here,
00:14:24.633 --> 00:14:30.272
Putting their kids in school, like almost like nothing
00:14:30.272 --> 00:14:34.476
Happened. we are still here and we are not going anywhere. this
00:14:34.476 --> 00:14:40.282
Is our home and we are not going anywhere. so, marty, are you
00:14:40.282 --> 00:14:46.588
Lost?
00:14:46.588 --> 00:14:47.823
>> i'm not lost. no. we need to talk about this. we need to have
00:14:47.923 --> 00:14:51.059
A theological conversation. i was lost, but now i'm found.
00:14:51.059 --> 00:14:54.062
>> so after you finished not getting lost, come see us. i'll
00:14:54.062 --> 00:14:58.834
Set your location. so, as we are waiting here for the team to set
00:14:58.834 --> 00:15:06.108
Up the best shot. homer and the cows are getting very excited.
00:15:06.108 --> 00:15:10.913
And here is marty not getting lost. so, guys, we just arrived
00:15:10.913 --> 00:15:16.251
Here to the gaza-israel border. and we came here today to talk
00:15:16.251 --> 00:15:20.289
About the operation. gideon's chariots.
00:15:20.289 --> 00:15:23.191
>> you can see it right in the background. those were the sharp
00:15:23.191 --> 00:15:26.261
Eye of our viewers can see plumes of black smoke in the
00:15:26.261 --> 00:15:30.065
Background. every couple of minutes you hear israeli air
00:15:30.065 --> 00:15:33.135
Force bombs hitting inside the gaza strip. this has been
00:15:33.135 --> 00:15:36.104
Happening all day. it actually started several days ago. you
00:15:36.104 --> 00:15:38.540
Hear the jets flying overhead. you hear the drones flying
00:15:38.540 --> 00:15:42.244
Overhead. you see the massive amounts of soldiers heading in.
00:15:42.244 --> 00:15:45.447
>> all across this area is filled with soldiers.
00:15:45.447 --> 00:15:47.616
>> exactly. so we're here at this overlooking gaza at, you
00:15:47.616 --> 00:15:51.253
Know, close to the border to show people what's about to
00:15:51.253 --> 00:15:54.122
Happen here and really contextualize this very intense
00:15:54.122 --> 00:15:58.060
Series of events that's taking place.
00:15:58.060 --> 00:15:59.828
>> what's the thing with the name of gideon chariots?
00:15:59.828 --> 00:16:03.432
>> gideon is obviously the biblical character gideon.
00:16:03.432 --> 00:16:05.934
Gideon, exactly one of the prophets that ruled or judged
00:16:05.934 --> 00:16:08.937
Over israel. and the story doesn't exactly match what's
00:16:08.937 --> 00:16:12.808
Happening right now. because gideon is selective. he only
00:16:12.808 --> 00:16:15.010
Takes a handful of people out of the many, many soldiers that
00:16:15.010 --> 00:16:18.213
Come. israel's doing something quite contrary to that very
00:16:18.213 --> 00:16:20.749
Large number of soldiers, five divisions that are coming were
00:16:20.749 --> 00:16:23.752
In the tens of thousands of soldiers that are amassed on the
00:16:23.752 --> 00:16:27.255
Border with with gaza strip and gideon. biblical. gideon didn't
00:16:27.255 --> 00:16:31.426
Have any chariots. hs fighting against people that did
00:16:31.426 --> 00:16:34.029
Have chariots. we have a whole lot of them.
00:16:34.029 --> 00:16:36.832
>> chariots is the english name for merkava the tank, and
00:16:36.832 --> 00:16:40.335
Merkava is the israeli made tank. now we have mercabarna
00:16:40.335 --> 00:16:44.306
Number four or forbie or 4d already, and they are the best
00:16:44.306 --> 00:16:49.277
Tanks in the world according to the idf. of course.
00:16:49.277 --> 00:16:51.880
>> both of us served on those tanks. they're wonderful tanks.
00:16:51.880 --> 00:16:54.916
So that's the context in the name. and what this really is,
00:16:54.916 --> 00:16:57.619
Is a very large shift in the operation methodology for the
00:16:57.619 --> 00:17:00.922
Israeli forces, going from what was a maintenance operation for
00:17:00.922 --> 00:17:04.459
The last couple of months to we are going to war full on with
00:17:04.459 --> 00:17:08.597
Hamas, with the purpose of and we'll break this down in greater
00:17:08.597 --> 00:17:11.933
Detail, a fully dissecting the gaza strip, because we need to
00:17:11.933 --> 00:17:16.138
Bring this to an end where we are able to squeeze out hamas
00:17:16.138 --> 00:17:19.574
Pockets of combatants and terrorists and do whatever we
00:17:19.574 --> 00:17:23.345
Can to push and force a deal that includes the hostages. in
00:17:23.345 --> 00:17:27.716
The idf, you have different types of units. and right now, a
00:17:27.716 --> 00:17:34.389
Of israeli forces. all the best fighting brigades that include
00:17:35.624 --> 00:17:39.561
The best tank units, the best infantry units, much of the
00:17:39.561 --> 00:17:42.998
Regular divisions of the army are right now amassed at the
00:17:42.998 --> 00:17:46.668
Border. these forces have been fighting since october 7th.
00:17:46.668 --> 00:17:50.839
They're going on multiple years of combat in the big cities in
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:53.975
Judea and samaria, in the gaza strip, multiple times in
00:17:53.975 --> 00:17:57.646
Lebanon, many of them, and some of them also in syria. so we're
00:17:57.646 --> 00:18:00.849
Talking about the most battle hardened soldiers and units that
00:18:00.849 --> 00:18:05.220
You can imagine. the reserve units that are going in are well
00:18:05.220 --> 00:18:08.090
Trained, well equipped and battle hardened too. so we have
00:18:08.090 --> 00:18:11.393
A huge number of soldiers. we can't say exact numbers. let's
00:18:11.393 --> 00:18:14.062
Say it's in the tens of thousands amassed on the border,
00:18:14.062 --> 00:18:17.199
And they're all waiting for that moment where someone says, go
00:18:17.199 --> 00:18:20.769
In.
00:18:20.769 --> 00:18:21.870
>> the official announcements from the prime minister of
00:18:21.970 --> 00:18:23.538
Israel were that we are going to conquer all of gaza within a few
00:18:23.538 --> 00:18:28.577
Days. and this operation is divided into three phases. so
00:18:28.577 --> 00:18:32.314
The first phase is gathering intelligence, targeting the
00:18:32.314 --> 00:18:35.851
Leadership and destroying infrastructure from the air.
00:18:35.851 --> 00:18:39.154
Second phase is moving out the civilian population to safe
00:18:39.154 --> 00:18:42.691
Zones that israel created outside of the city centers in
00:18:42.691 --> 00:18:47.329
Order to protect them and to provide humanitarian aid into
00:18:47.329 --> 00:18:51.032
These areas that will not reach hamas. okay. this is also been
00:18:51.032 --> 00:18:55.537
Initiated now with the idf spokesperson in arabic calling
00:18:55.537 --> 00:18:59.274
On the civilian population of the gaza strip to move to these
00:18:59.274 --> 00:19:03.145
Safe zones because hamas is endangering them by firing
00:19:03.145 --> 00:19:06.381
Rockets and missiles at israel. and the third phase of this
00:19:06.381 --> 00:19:10.485
Operation is the ground maneuver to conquer and dismantle hamas
00:19:10.485 --> 00:19:15.457
Completely and hopefully retrieve our hostages alive.
00:19:15.457 --> 00:19:18.994
>> the idf has created three key military corridors in the center
00:19:18.994 --> 00:19:23.899
Morag in the south, and the philadelphia corridor along the
00:19:23.899 --> 00:19:27.202
Egyptian border. all of these are dividing gaza into three
00:19:27.202 --> 00:19:30.839
Separate zones. these moves are aimed at cutting off hamas
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.743
Ability to move fighters, ese weapons or orders between these
00:19:34.743 --> 00:19:39.080
Regions. it's part of a broader mission dismantling hamas,
00:19:39.080 --> 00:19:43.418
Rescuing the hostages and preventing terrorism from taking
00:19:43.418 --> 00:19:47.122
Root once more. at the same time, the idf has issued
00:19:47.122 --> 00:19:50.959
Detailed evacuation maps, splitting gaza into hundreds of
00:19:50.959 --> 00:19:54.896
Zones to warn civilians before strikes, all while keeping the
00:19:54.896 --> 00:19:59.167
Pressure on hamas. this isn't just about the battlefield
00:19:59.167 --> 00:20:03.371
Control, it's about reshaping gaza from a base of terror to a
00:20:03.371 --> 00:20:08.009
Place where israelis and palestinians can one day live
00:20:08.009 --> 00:20:12.280
Free of fear. in the past, it would be we're going in, out,
00:20:12.280 --> 00:20:16.151
In, out, in, out and didn't necessarily keep onto the land
00:20:16.151 --> 00:20:19.821
That we had previously occupied. now it's different now when
00:20:19.821 --> 00:20:23.024
We're taking over an area and we're taking it out of the hands
00:20:23.024 --> 00:20:26.428
Of hamas, we're not leaving. we're going to we're going to
00:20:26.428 --> 00:20:28.797
Stay inside in different fortifications and different
00:20:28.797 --> 00:20:31.199
Locations to prevent hamas from moving mwer, moving weaponry
00:20:31.199 --> 00:20:34.903
Between different areas and sectors in it, squeezing out the
00:20:34.903 --> 00:20:37.439
Fighting forces. get the weapons out, get the terrorists out,
00:20:37.439 --> 00:20:41.009
Identify and label the people in the sense of looking at the
00:20:41.009 --> 00:20:44.613
Faces, using technology, biometrics, etc. etc. to
00:20:44.613 --> 00:20:47.582
Identify who the terrorists are. arrest them, pull them out of
00:20:47.582 --> 00:20:50.685
The less involved civilians that i want to say non-involved
00:20:50.685 --> 00:20:53.822
Civilians, the less involved civilian population to reach a
00:20:53.822 --> 00:20:56.858
Point where you can start actually saying this area is no
00:20:56.858 --> 00:20:59.027
Longer controlled by hamas. these solutions are not a one
00:20:59.027 --> 00:21:02.297
Off. it's multiple faceted. so it's remove some of hamas power,
00:21:02.297 --> 00:21:06.935
Take away their money making mechanism, disarm them, isolate
00:21:06.935 --> 00:21:10.272
The population so we can hand over aid to them, bring in
00:21:10.272 --> 00:21:12.941
International communities so we can extract at least some of the
00:21:12.941 --> 00:21:16.611
Hostages and move forward. the situation for israel, hamas and
00:21:16.611 --> 00:21:19.114
Other people.
00:21:19.114 --> 00:21:20.348
>> at the idf is carrying out and preparing for this ground
00:21:20.348 --> 00:21:23.451
Maneuver. of course, the international community is
00:21:23.451 --> 00:21:26.488
Raising its voice, saying that this is too much. this is a
00:21:26.488 --> 00:21:31.393
Harsh response. do you have to say about this?
00:21:31.393 --> 00:21:34.829
>> look, that's all they ever do. they always condemn israel.
00:21:34.829 --> 00:21:38.099
How did we get to this place where we're standing here today?
00:21:38.099 --> 00:21:41.002
This is this didn't come out of the blue. or one day someone
00:21:41.002 --> 00:21:43.805
Woke up in israel and said, guys, we're bored. it's the
00:21:43.805 --> 00:21:46.875
Right season. the weather's good. let's attack gaza strip.
00:21:46.875 --> 00:21:49.644
That's that was medieval, medieval europe. we don't do
00:21:49.644 --> 00:21:51.846
That over here. we've been playing a war of self-defense
00:21:51.846 --> 00:21:55.483
For a year and a half against countless enemies. and those
00:21:55.483 --> 00:21:58.586
Guys over there who deserve no compliments whatsoever, only
00:21:58.586 --> 00:22:02.657
Condemnation, only disrespect for their vile behavior. those
00:22:02.657 --> 00:22:05.694
People over there that control the gaza strip are holding 58
00:22:05.694 --> 00:22:09.130
Israeli citizens in the underground bunkers hidden
00:22:09.130 --> 00:22:13.068
Inside houses, some of them already murdered by them, and
00:22:13.068 --> 00:22:15.670
They refuse to release them. they can end the war today. they
00:22:15.670 --> 00:22:19.708
Can say, we give. we're we acknowledge we're terrorists. we
00:22:19.708 --> 00:22:23.411
Relinquish the road of terrorism. we give you back your
00:22:23.411 --> 00:22:26.915
Citizens that we abducted from their homes, from military
00:22:26.915 --> 00:22:29.684
Bases, from roads, from their baby cots, and give them back to
00:22:29.684 --> 00:22:33.588
The people of israel. and the war will be over. but they
00:22:33.588 --> 00:22:37.659
Refuse to. and therefore we have no choice but to defend our
00:22:37.659 --> 00:22:39.861
Country. look, i, as an officer, withdrew israeli citizens from
00:22:39.861 --> 00:22:42.964
The gaza strip in 2005. we gave it back and we said we want
00:22:42.964 --> 00:22:46.668
Nothing to do with it. we didn't close the border. we traded with
00:22:46.668 --> 00:22:49.904
Them on a regular basis. we allowed their workers to work
00:22:49.904 --> 00:22:52.841
Within israel, even though they're enemies of the state,
00:22:52.841 --> 00:22:55.009
And they traded with egypt. it's just that they chose to trade
00:22:55.009 --> 00:22:57.879
Only in one thing.
00:22:57.879 --> 00:22:59.581
>> weapons.
00:22:59.581 --> 00:23:00.782
>> weapons, munitions, smugglin, drugs, smuggling, explosives.
00:23:00.882 --> 00:23:02.317
>> smuggling, human.
00:23:02.317 --> 00:23:03.551
>> smuggling, humans in and out. and you look at that and you
00:23:03.551 --> 00:23:06.688
Say, look, there were many other options. we didn't have to be in
00:23:06.688 --> 00:23:09.691
This moment. it could have been something entirely different.
00:23:09.691 --> 00:23:12.761
They have vile, evil, corrupting and corrupted leadership. in the
00:23:12.761 --> 00:23:14.996
Time since we withdrew in 2005 until now, they could have built
00:23:14.996 --> 00:23:18.800
One of the strongest economies in this region instead.
00:23:18.800 --> 00:23:22.203
>> everywhere you step in the gaza strip, you see a terror
00:23:22.203 --> 00:23:25.440
Tunnel everywhere and it's amounts of cement and
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:29.377
Construction that was not used to help the population, but just
00:23:29.377 --> 00:23:32.480
To create more terrorism.
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:33.782
>> look, the number one victims of hamas even after october 7th
00:23:33.782 --> 00:23:37.285
Are the people of gaza, not israelis. we're number two
00:23:37.285 --> 00:23:41.256
Victims. the number one victims are the people of the gaza
00:23:41.256 --> 00:23:43.725
Strip. and people need to remember that their terrible,
00:23:43.725 --> 00:23:45.860
Terrible organization, terrible government that just brings
00:23:45.860 --> 00:23:48.263
Death and destruction to their people, we need to help them
00:23:48.263 --> 00:23:51.499
Have something better. it has to be so forceful because of the
00:23:51.499 --> 00:23:54.569
Level of violence they're willing to use to hold on to
00:23:54.569 --> 00:23:57.172
Power. and then i say this to israel has a right, regardless
00:23:57.172 --> 00:24:00.308
Of what they do, regardless of what happens there, we have a
00:24:00.308 --> 00:24:02.744
Right to keep fighting until every last hostage is back in
00:24:02.744 --> 00:24:07.515
Israel. every single one of them. even if there's one left
00:24:07.515 --> 00:24:10.652
In the gaza strip, we have the right to keep fighting until
00:24:10.652 --> 00:24:13.555
They return our people.
00:24:13.555 --> 00:24:14.823
>> well, sure. and guys, what you can do in order to help the
00:24:14.823 --> 00:24:18.493
Situation and the people of gaza that are suffering because of
00:24:18.493 --> 00:24:21.162
The hamas terrorists is praying. i mean, god called us to pray
00:24:21.162 --> 00:24:24.799
For our enemies. this is a hard thing for me also, to pray for
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:28.636
The houthis, to pray for the hamas terrorists, to pray for
00:24:28.636 --> 00:24:31.306
The syrian jihadists andzbollahg
00:24:31.306 --> 00:24:36.144
For them to succeed in launching rockets at israel, at us. i'm
00:24:36.144 --> 00:24:39.414
Praying for them to have a change of heart and to start
00:24:39.414 --> 00:24:42.317
Loving on the people of israel. i think it's possible. i mean,
00:24:42.317 --> 00:24:45.420
It's a supernatural war and we can see supernatural miracles.
00:24:45.420 --> 00:24:50.391
>> yeah. when i was younger, i remember having the same this
00:24:50.391 --> 00:24:53.761
Very same conversation with my pastor at the time. and i said,
00:24:53.761 --> 00:24:56.664
Well, how do you pray for your enemies? and the answer, i
00:24:56.664 --> 00:24:59.534
Really like the answer. i've kept it with me all these years.
00:24:59.534 --> 00:25:02.470
It was when you don't know how to pray, you just pray the
00:25:02.470 --> 00:25:05.473
Lord's prayer. thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven, and
00:25:05.473 --> 00:25:09.010
Leave it at that. let god figure out what needs to be done.
00:25:09.010 --> 00:25:12.614
>> operation gideon's chariots carries more than the name. it
00:25:12.614 --> 00:25:15.483
Carries a purpose. just as gideon. gideon fought against
00:25:15.483 --> 00:25:18.953
All odds, led a small and faithful force to victory
00:25:18.953 --> 00:25:23.258
Through divine guidance. so too does israel now move forward
00:25:23.258 --> 00:25:28.863
With clarity, with courage, and with conviction. this mission is
00:25:28.863 --> 00:25:33.768
Not driven by vengeance, but by a purpose. the purpose to
00:25:33.768 --> 00:25:38.806
Dismantle evil and make space for peace to rise in its place.
00:25:38.806 --> 00:25:44.546
The road is painful and the cost is heavy. but we are not alone.
00:25:44.546 --> 00:25:49.751
God is with us as he was with gideon in the darkest valleys.
00:25:49.751 --> 00:25:55.256
His light leads, and with every step, every sacrifice, we draw
00:25:55.256 --> 00:26:00.795
Closer to a moment where our hostages are freed. the guns
00:26:00.795 --> 00:26:05.366
Fall silent and hope is restored. this is more than a
00:26:05.366 --> 00:26:09.904
War. this is a reckoning, a reckoning with terror, a
00:26:09.904 --> 00:26:14.242
Reckoning for justice and a path towards redemption. may it lead
00:26:14.242 --> 00:26:19.814
Us not only to victory, but to peace. so, guys, take this
00:26:19.814 --> 00:26:25.053
Opportunity and pray for the peace of jerusalem and the peace
00:26:25.053 --> 00:26:37.632
Of this region. we hope you enjoyed this peace. and before we pray together for israel, let's take a short commercial
00:26:38.800 --> 00:26:42.670
Break, after which we'll be right here.
00:26:42.670 --> 00:26:49.993
Break, after which we'll be right here.
00:26:49.993 --> 00:26:55.389
Thank you for coming back, guys. we have been in this war for 606
00:26:56.657 --> 00:27:03.064
Days straight. hamas terrorists launched an attack and kidnaped
00:27:03.064 --> 00:27:08.436
Our israeli citizens from their homes. since then, the idf is
00:27:08.436 --> 00:27:13.808
Waging a war on multiple fronts. in this situation, i keep asking
00:27:13.808 --> 00:27:19.647
Myself, what is god trying to tell us? and what i keep
00:27:19.647 --> 00:27:24.351
Receiving is that god is telling us that he is a faithful god. he
00:27:24.351 --> 00:27:30.791
Performs unimaginable miracles, biblical scale miracles. today,
00:27:30.791 --> 00:27:37.598
Israel is winning this war against seven different enemies
00:27:37.598 --> 00:27:41.202
From seven different fronts. it's not because the idf is
00:27:41.202 --> 00:27:45.473
Strong. it's not because we are smart or anything like that.
00:27:45.473 --> 00:27:49.210
It's only because god is faithful to his promises to the
00:27:49.210 --> 00:27:52.747
People of israel, and he will be faithful to his promises to each
00:27:52.747 --> 00:27:57.218
And every one of you. we all have our struggles and god is
00:27:57.218 --> 00:28:02.156
Using israel in the international media and in the
00:28:02.156 --> 00:28:06.727
International scale to prove that he is a powerful god that
00:28:06.727 --> 00:28:11.332
Is still in control in modernys,
00:28:11.332 --> 00:28:16.337
Pray for the peace of jerusalem and make it personal. pray for
00:28:16.337 --> 00:28:20.441
An idf soldier. pray for a hostage. pray for a mother that
00:28:20.441 --> 00:28:24.411
Is waiting for her son to come back home safely from his
00:28:24.411 --> 00:28:28.616
Reserve duty in the idf. and let's unite in prayer for the
00:28:28.616 --> 00:28:34.188
Peace of jerusalem.
00:28:34.255 --> 00:28:40.989
