For Doubters – Hizbullah Reports That It Is Back
The Zionists had hoped that their terror tactics of exploding pagers and the bombing of Hizbullah's leadership in Lebanon would hinder or decrease its enemy's ability to fight.
That hope however was in vane. Hizbullah, like its Hamas ally in Gaza, was build to sustain its efforts despite such incidents.
Today, Naim Qassem, the deputy leader of Hizbullah appeared in a broadcast and declared that Hizbullah remained fully operational:
In his address, Qassem stated, “We are firing hundreds of rockets and dozens of drones. A large number of settlements and cities are under the fire of the resistance.” He emphasised that Hezbollah's top leadership remains active and that the posts of the slain commanders have been filled, asserting, “We have no vacant posts.”
How useless it is to kill an enemy's leadership was also shown in Gaza:
[A]n insight into what is actually going on in Gaza was offered by Israel's latest announcement that it had killed three senior Hamas officials – Rawhi Mushtaha, the head of government and de facto prime minister; Sameh al-Siraj, who held the security portfolio on Hamas’s political bureau; and Sami Oudeh, commander of Hamas’s General Security Mechanism.
The air strike happened three months ago, and no one had noticed their absence. This is because Hamas continued to function regardless of which leaders were alive or dead.
In the past, assassinations had led to a period of uncertainty for Hamas. This happened after the killing of Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi in 2004. But it does not work today and nor does it work with this generation of fighters.
Yesterday Hizbullah fired five missiles on the harbor city of Haifa. Today 100 more missiles followed.
These are in response to Israel's bombing of Beirut's suburbs.
Israel has committed several division to invading the south of Lebanon. The distance they have managed to intrude from the border is still measured in mere meter.

#Hezbollah's media warfare department is back: command and control is fully operational. Missiles and drones are filmed as they are launched. This means that the Ridwan ops will be filmed as it confronts the Israelis, in order to restore the morale of resistance supporters against the invaders.
Yesterday missiles from Gaza, Iraq and Yemen were aiming at Tel Aviv. Today Hizbullah also sent missiles towards it. Each such attack will cause an air alarm. People will interrupt their work and go into bunkers. Israel's air defense will exhausts it supplies while at least some missiles get through and hit their targets.
How long will the Israeli society sustain such stress?
The IDF Home Front Command is issuing stricter guidelines in several cities near Haifa, which prevent schools from operating.
Schools will not be able to open in Kiryat Ata, Kiryat Bialik, Kiryat Yam and Kiryat Motzkin, under the latest guidelines. Schools will stay open in Haifa itself, provided that a bomb shelter can be reached quickly enough.
The change comes after Hezbollah fired 105 rockets at the Haifa area this morning.
The Zionist prime minister Benjamin Natanyhoo urged the people of Lebanon to raise against Hizbullah. For him to do so must mean that the war is not going the way he hoped. There is zero chance that such an uprising will happen.
On October 1 some 200 missiles from Iran hit military targets in Israel. The publicly available videos show dozens of hits on an air base with hangers and planes affected. Damage at the other targets is still kept under censorship. But is is obvious that most of the Iranian missiles passed through Israeli air defenses and hit their intended targets.
While Israel has said that it will hit back in revenge for the strike is has yet to do so. It is likely that it fears the response that Iran would unleash on it.
There are thousands of missiles hidden in well protected Iranian sites that are aimed at elements Israel needs to function. Its electricity networks, refineries, harbors and airports are all targeted and would be hit.
This will be a long war and Israel, which had expanded and escalated it whenever possible, is not prepared for it.

Sorry. No.
Modern radioisotope methods show petroleum deposits date to the Mesozoic Era.

You are totally wrong.
I wouldn’t use Wikipedia as a reference for such a an issue.
Kindly please educate yourself:
“5. Natural gas and oil in the recent sea-floor spreading centers
Petroleum of abyssal abiogenic origin and their implacement into the crust of the Earth can take place in the recent sea-floor spreading centres in the oceans. Igneous rocks occupy 99 % of the total length (55000 km) of them while the thickness of sedimentary cover over the spreading centres does not exceed 450-500 m [Rona, 1988]. Additionally sub-bottom convectional hydrothermal systems discharge hot (170-430 degrees C) water through the sea bottom’s black and white “smokers”. Up to now more than 100 hydrothermal systems of this kind have been identified and studied by in scientific expeditions using submarines such as «ALWIN», «Mir», «Nautile», and «Nautilus» in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans respectively. Their observations pertaining to the deep abiogenic origin of petroleum are as follows:
the bottom “smokers” of deepwater rift valleys vent hot water, methane, some other gases and petroleum fluids. Active “plumes” with the heights of 800-1000 m venting methane have been discovered in every 20-40 km between 12oN and 37oN along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) over a distance of 1200 km. MAR’s sites – TAG (26oN), Snake Pit (23oN), Logatchev (14o45’N), Broken Spur (29oN), Rainbow (37o17’N), and Menez Gwen (37o50’N) are the most interesting.
At the Rainbow site, where the bottom outcrops are represented by ultramafic rocks of mantle origin the presence of the following substances were demonstrated (by chromatography/mass-spectrometry): CH4; C2H6; C3H8; CO; CO2; H2; H2S, N2 as well as petroleum consisted of n-C16−n-C29 alkanes together with branched alkanes, diaromatics [Charlou et al., 1993, 2002]. Contemporary science does not yet know any microbe which really generates n-C11 – n-C22 alkanes, phytan, pristan, and aromatic hydrocarbons.
At the TAG site no bottom sediments, sedimentary rocks [Simoneit, 1988; Thompson et al., 1988], buried organic matter or any source rocks. The hydrothermal fluid is very hot (290/321 degree C) for any microbes. There are the Beggiatoa mats there but they were only found at some distances from “smokers”.
Active submarine hydrothermal systems produce the sulfide-metal ore deposits along the whole length of the East Pacific Rise (EPR). At 13oN the axis of EPR is free of any sediment but here aliphatic hydrocarbons are present in hot hydrothermal fluids of black “smokers”. In the sulfide-metal ores here the methane and alkanes higher than n-C25 with prevalence of the odd number of carbon atoms have been identified [Simoneit, 1988].
Oil accumulations have been studied by the «ALVIN» submarine and by the deep marine drilling in the Gulf of California (the Guaymas Basin) and in the Escanaba Trough, Gorda Ridge [Gieskes et al., 1988; Koski et al., 1988; Kvenvolden et al., 1987; Lonsdale, 1985; Peter et al., 1988; Simoneit, 1988; Simoneit et al., 1982; Thompson et al., 1988] of the Pacific Ocean. These sites are covered by sediments. However, petroleum fluids identified there are of hydrothermаl origin according to Simoneit, Lonsdale [1982] and no source rocks were yet identified there.
As for other sites over the Globe, scientific investigations with the submarines have established that the methane “plumes” occur over the sea bottom “smokers” or other hydrothermal systems in Red Sea, near Galapagos Isles, in Mariana and Tonga deepwater trenches, Gulf of California, etc. [Baker et al., 1987; Blanc et al., 1990; Craig et al.1987; Evans et al., 1988; Horibe et al., 1986; Ramboz et al., 1988]. Non-biogenic methane (105-106 cu m/year) released from a submarine rift off Jamaica [Brooks, 1979] has been also known.” (1)

Thank you for posting this. The current siege on nothern Gaza is horrific. I use the word ‘siege’ because this is the only accurate word to use. Ethnic cleansing is also applicable.
I am going to post some longer excerpts of the article so anyone who is interested can see the scope of this brutality.
————–
Palestinian Territory – An unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe is imminent as the Israeli occupation tightens its siege on the Jabalia camp and Beit Lahia project in the northern Gaza Strip for the fourth consecutive day. Israel is accelerating the pace of its genocide against the Palestinians there by carrying out mass and planned killings, as well as widespread forced displacements. The international community, led by the United Nations, must act swiftly and decisively to save 10s of thousands of residents who are being subjected to one of the most violent campaigns of genocide the Strip has ever witnessed. [note: There are an estimated 400,000 people in northern Gaza. Israel has already stated that they will move south, where there is no more room, or be killed.]
Israeli occupation forces have intensified their siege of the Jabalia camp and the surrounding neighborhoods, including Tal al-Zaatar, al-Sikka, Beit Hanoun, and Beit Lahia. The Israeli forces have also taken up positions in the western region of the Gaza Strip, advancing as far as the Jaffa Cemetery and the Tawam Junction.
With airstrikes, fire belts, and artillery shelling—including bombing homes over the heads of their occupants—the Israeli occupation forces have been occupying large portions of northern Gaza since Saturday evening, 5 October. Dozens of people have been killed and injured as a result of this ongoing invasion.
Initial reports confirmed that five citizens—including a woman, a man, and his son—were executed by the occupation forces for trying to escape the Jabalia camp while waving white flags.
In an extremely dangerous development, Israeli army forces ordered the complete evacuation of Kamal Adwan Hospital, located in the Beit Lahia project, north of Gaza. Kamal Adwan Hospital’s director, Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, reported that he received a call from the occupation forces telling him that if he did not get the patients and medical staff out of the hospital within a day, they would be put in danger.[…]
The sole road that ambulances used to move dozens of seriously injured patients from Kamal Adwan Hospital to the Baptist Hospital has been cut off, following an Israeli bombing of a building in the vicinity. This was followed by the occupation forces’ tightening of the siege on the hospital, and the blocking of ambulances and any other methods of victim transport.
Earlier today, the occupation forces arrested a paramedic who was transporting patients from the Kamal Awdan Hospital to the Baptist Hospital, despite prior coordination with Israeli authorities.
The Euro-Med Monitor field team received testimonies from citizens, who were able to reach Gaza City, about witnessing dead bodies lying in the streets. The citizens also stated that they saw victims trapped beneath the debris of bombed-out houses, and that ambulance and civil defense crews were unable to reach the area as at least 20 houses were targeted by Israeli forces in a four-day period.
Thousands of people trapped in the Jabalia and Beit Lahia camps are suffering from a near-total shortage of food supplies, which were already scarce due to Israel’s closure of the border crossings. The limited amount of goods and other aid that had previously been allowed to enter the area was blocked by Israel for more than a week prior to the new invasion.
Numerous families remain stuck in their homes, enduring harsh living conditions under the intensified and brutal Israeli bombing. Citizens are not even able to leave their homes in order to obtain water, and municipal crews and local committees are unable to assist them. As a result, thousands of residents face the threat of starvation, dehydration, or death, knowing full well that they are all victims of the catastrophic effects of malnutrition brought on by Israel’s year-long starvation policy.
The Israeli army is systematically working to empty northern Gaza of its residents and force them to move to the south, recently issuing several evacuation orders and dropping leaflets demanding their evacuation.
It is clear that the Israeli army’s latest operation has no military objective or necessity; rather, it is intended to finish the destructive operations that, during three prior incursions, have affected over 85% of the buildings in northern Gaza. Additionally, it is intended to target civilians and force them to flee the area, converting it into a full military zone.
Salah al-Din Road is now blocked from the Civil Administration side by an Israeli military checkpoint, and anyone attempting to use it to leave the camp is being searched. […]
The forcible deportation of a population is defined as a crime against humanity under the statute of the International Criminal Court, and the United Nations and the international community must intervene immediately to save 10s of thousands of Palestinian residents in northern Gaza who face ethnic cleansing by Israel. Furthermore, the UN and international community have a legal and moral obligation to put an end to the horrific crime of genocide being committed by the Israeli occupation for the second year in a row now.
