We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸/🇱🇧 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.

A year ago, September 2025, the SPR held 406 million barrels.
The current drawdown traces back to a 172 million-barrel release President Trump authorized in March, part of a coordinated 400 million-barrel release by 32 IEA member countries. Discharge began about a week later and was expected to take roughly 120 days, with the administration pledging to refill about 200 million barrels within a year at no cost to taxpayers.
Two different floors govern how far the reserve can fall. Federal law sets an operational minimum of 252.4 million barrels, while the generally accepted operational minimum is 250 to 300 million barrels on hand to pump and process oil efficiently, a level it is now testing.
Ben Cahill, an energy analyst at the Atlantic Council, has warned the releases carry diminishing returns: "at a certain point it becomes a self-defeating move, because releasing more...
