The world has largely missed the scale of what has unfolded in Israel since October 7, 2023. According to a detailed presentation by Rabbi Uri Pilichowski (Aish HaTorah), drawing on publicly available operational accounts and statements from American officials and engineers, a series of events has occurred that experts describe as mechanically, strategically, and statistically impossible.
These accounts have been shared in Jewish and interfaith circles, with references to American ambassadors unable to file reports and U.S. Air Force engineers calling certain outcomes an “act of God.” As the speaker frames it, these are the days of Gog and Magog, and the miracles are increasing.
Every Miracle Listed in the Presentation
Here is every miracle explicitly described:
- The walkie-talkie and pager operation against Hezbollah (September 2024): A 27-year-old Israeli intelligence analyst noticed that Hezbollah fighters consistently wore walkie-talkies over their hearts. Through a German shell company partnered with a Taiwanese supplier, small amounts of C4 and remote detonators were inserted into the devices. Fighters wore them for years.
- When Nasrallah, fearing surveillance, ordered a switch to obsolete pagers, Israel supplied roughly 5,000 rigged units. A single page instructed holders to hold the device close to their eyes and press two buttons. The detonation killed 42 and permanently disabled over 3,000 fighters. The next day, the remaining walkie-talkies were detonated at funerals, killing 25 more. Israeli soldiers involved: zero.
- Precision F-15 strike on remaining Hezbollah commanders: Three F-15s launched from Ramat David Air Force Base and placed three missiles through a window into a meeting of 20 high-ranking commanders. Zero Israeli losses.
- 48-hour campaign in Syria (around December 8–9, 2024): Approximately 350 planes flew 350 missions. Every Syrian Air Force jet was destroyed. Every Syrian Navy vessel was destroyed. Every general was killed. Every nuclear scientist and every chemical-weapons scientist was eliminated. Southern Syria was taken as a buffer zone. Israeli soldiers lost: zero. The presentation calls this “out of the pages of Tanakh.”
- The Iran air campaign — the heart of the story, the impossible fighter-jet miracle: Israel sent roughly 200 F-35s on missions lasting about four hours each way (approximately 2,000 km). An F-35 costs roughly $235 million and requires about eight hours of maintenance for every hour of flight time. U.S. Air Force readiness is typically around 51%.
- Mechanical models projected that over a multi-day campaign, Israel would lose on the order of 60 pilots and 60 aircraft, with half the fleet grounded and some planes permanently unserviceable. The actual result: zero losses and not a single plane requiring significant maintenance. American officials reportedly could not file reports explaining the outcome. Mechanical engineers called it impossible.
- The U.S. Air Force is said to be rethinking its readiness assumptions. Concurrent operations (Narnia and Red Wedding) eliminated Iranian scientists and generals. Israel also maintained a long-term drone-production presence inside Iran with zero losses.
- Iranian missile retaliation: American assessments expected 80,000–100,000 Israeli deaths. Actual deaths were under 40. Specific strikes hit hard (one damaged a government office for months; a 30-story building housing American personnel was heavily damaged with no injuries; a missile struck an emptied building at Soroka Hospital). American engineers inspecting one site called it an act of God.
- Bat Yam / Tel Aviv bus plot (February 20, 2025): Five buses were rigged to explode in downtown Tel Aviv during the morning rush. Timers were set for 9:00 p.m. instead of 9:00 a.m. The devices detonated empty in a parking lot. One additional bomb was later found. No injuries.
- Averted multi-front catastrophe (Sinwar’s original plan): The full plan called for a coordinated assault: Hamas’s October 7-style attack, Hezbollah launching 50,000–100,000 rockets, Iranian ballistic missiles, and simultaneous rebellions in Judea and Samaria. The projected outcome was millions dead or taken hostage, and the possible end of the state. Sinwar executed early and without full coordination. The presentation describes this as the salvation of Israel.
- Flydubai Flight 1073 (September 30, 2026): A co-pilot’s attempt to seize and crash the aircraft was foiled. The plane dived steeply, was stabilized by passengers (including a plumber who pulled the controls), and landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Passengers were released. Aviation observers and Israeli officials have described the sequence as an act of God.
Why the Fighter-Jet Story Is Impossible
The Iran F-35 campaign sits at the center because ordinary engineering and logistics make the zero-loss outcome nearly impossible to explain in purely natural terms. Long-range sorties place extreme stress on airframes, engines, and systems. Standard maintenance ratios and readiness rates predict significant attrition.
The presentation notes that American counterparts could not account for the result in their reporting and that engineers labeled the outcome impossible. Similar zero-loss results across the Hezbollah, Syria, and Iran operations stand in sharp contrast to the casualty rates of earlier Israeli wars.
Gog and Magog and the Days Ahead
Rabbi Pilichowski places these events in the framework of Gog and Magog and the final redemption. The pattern he describes is one of divine protection that has repeatedly prevented the destruction of the Jewish people and the State of Israel against overwhelming numerical and technical odds.
The presentation closes by urging listeners to open their eyes, to say Hodu (give thanks), and to recognize that the miracles of the last three years exceed, in certain respects, the historical benchmarks of Chanukah or the Six-Day War. As the coalition of adversaries continues to move, the claim is that the visible hand of Providence will become still more evident.
These accounts are drawn from a public lecture that relies on reported operational results, statements attributed to American officials and engineers, and the speaker’s synthesis. They invite examination, gratitude, and further inquiry rather than passive acceptance. In the language of the presentation, we are living through events that future generations will ask about, and the proper response is to open our eyes and give thanks.
