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.

British man attacked for entering a ‘no-go zone’ in London.
A horde of Islamists surrounded him and questioned why he was in ‘their’ neighborhood.
They threatened him and began chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ as they kicked him out.
Minister of State for Courts and MP for Finchley and Golders Green, Sarah Sackman, says religious courts like 'Shariah' are a fundamental part of 'British Values'.
A 65-year-old couple retiring in 2025 with average earnings will receive an estimated $1.34 million in lifetime benefits, while contributing only $720,000 in today’s dollars.
That shortfall—more than $600,000 per couple—is being made up by younger workers.
“Most of the growth in spending has gone to retirement and healthcare, while programs that promote upward mobility... have been left behind”
