— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸/🇱🇧 Ninth day of the war, October 15th, status update and major events:
– Continuous airstrikes in Gaza, but less severe than previous days. Electricity and water still not available in the majority of the Gaza strip, however Israel turned on the water in the south of Gaza to encourage evacuations to that area.
– Sporadic rocket barrages by Hamas from Gaza towards Ashkelon and Tel Aviv, but nothing really major.
– The PIJ launched a barrage of rockets from Lebanon towards Nahariya and Shlomi.
– A huge increase of activity on the northern front throughout the day. Hezbollah targeted IDF sites with ATGMs, destroying radar sites, Merkava tanks and APCs. They also destroyed IDF surveillance equipment in the settlement of Metula with small arms. At least 6 separate Hezbollah attacks were recorded today, more than all previous days combined.
– Throughout the entire day at several different moments, the IDF fired artillery into South Lebanon and carried out helicopter patrols as well as drone strikes on Hezbollah targets, in response to the continuous targeting of IDF sites. As mentioned, the situation in the north has escalated and is now a constant loop of tit for tat.
– Israeli media reported that Israel is considering declaring war on Hezbollah, with several ministers including the Defense Minister supporting this idea. However, Netanyahu is said to oppose it.

🛢📈 — Reuters reports that oil is approaching $100 per barrel following the latest exchange of attacks between Americans and Iranians on oil tankers.
▶️The price of Brent crude has risen to $97.07 per barrel, while American WTI crude has risen to $92.28. In the past week, Brent has risen by 7.8%, while WTI has risen by nearly 10%.
▶️On Saturday, U.S. forces attacked three Iranian oil tankers, one of which was stationed near the island of Kharg, a key center for Iranian oil exports. In response, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced attacks on three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and three more U.S. ships.
▶️In this context, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has sharply declined. Over the past 10 days, an average of only 10 cargo ships have transited the strait per day – the lowest level since May.
The WHO now states on its website:
Vaccination against COVID-19 can trigger multiple sclerosis through cross-reactive CD4+-T cells that recognize the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and myelin peptides.
In other words: Your own immune system destroys the nerve pathways and then attacks your brain and spinal cord.
