This complex is called Imad 4, named after the terrorist Imad Mughniyeh who was sent to heck in 2008. Hezbollah claims there are several more like it. It is presumably dug into the mountains east of the Bekaa Valley along the border with Syria. Hezbollah says the missiles shown are precision guided and have a range of 140km which would just barely be enough to hit Haifa from there. I can't tell if the guy on the motorcycle is just going around in circles, but clearly the place is pretty darn big. In addition to Iran they've had North Korean advisors teaching them how to dig tunnels so they know what they're doing.
Roughly the area where I expect most of Hezbollah's tunnels. I had to draw the border myself by eye because Google Earth didn't feel like displaying that layer at the moment.
I mention Haifa because it's going to be one of the primary targets of Hezbollah in a full-scale war. Tel Aviv and Jerusalem are about 200km away from the area in the Bekaa Valley where Hezbollah's most powerful rockets will be firing from and in Jerusalem you've got to be careful not to hit anything of religious importance. Haifa is about 130km away, so it can be hit by smaller missiles with a shorter range. It's also the main port of the country. Most of Israel's trade passes through it. Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah has said that in the event of war they would target enemy economic infrastructure in the north, and there's no reason to doubt him. Crippling the port of Haifa would cripple the economy.

There's worries about the oil refinery in Haifa. The port and its industrial complex is truly massive, about 5km across. Just looking on Google Earth I could see two big farms of oil storage tanks, two large chemical plants, and a power plant as well as the refinery. Some people there are afraid that if these are hit there could be a big explosion or a cloud of toxic gas or something. I think that's probably overblown. The authorities say they've moved the really dangerous stuff out, and crude oil doesn't explode. The port complex is definitely one of Hezbollah's main targets as they've said themselves, but if I lived nearby I would worry more about a getting hit by a rocket aimed at it.
I couldn't find any picture that shows just how huge all this is.

Meanwhile Hezbollah isn't doing so well casualty-wise. They're up to 400 dead now including a few dozen of their Sunni allies. That's not really a significant number in itself as Hezbollah has tens of thousands of troops, but when you look at who is getting killed it's another story. That guy who got killed recently who they're so butthurt about commanded their military. Their forces on the border are divided into two sectors and the commanders of both of those got killed. Presumably a lot of the others were at least somewhat important.

Diplomacy continues. It appears the deal would basically be a cease-fire in Gaza in return for Iran not attacking and Hezbollah to stop shooting. One of the current stumbling blocks is that Hamas is demanding a complete Israeli withdrawl from Gaza, but the Israelis want to keep some troops along the Gaza-Egypt border. I'm a bit confused by this. Maybe it's a language thing. In English "cease-fire" just means everyone stays where they are and stops shooting, so this agreement would be more than a cease-fire.

I hope you f-slurs appreciate this because I'm sure I got some glowie's attention by spending so much time looking at likely targets for rocket attacks in Israel. After about an hour I suddenly had this pop up in Firef*x every time I tried to go to a new page. I don't remember it ever doing that in all the years I've used it and there's no concievable reason for it. Why would I be forced to do the update immediately? Seems kinda sus to me. I've probably got Unit 8200 frantically trying to figure out what the Hezbollah code phrase "dude bussy lmao" means before it's too late.
Just kidding. I probably had another instance of Firef*x running that was trying to update and things got screwed up.

Hello, I recently became aware of some information and I'm going to share it.
It started when I saw this article about the pier that the US recently constructed in Israel in order to "bring aid" to Gaza
So I asked: why is America doing this?
And I got this answer: "Saudi Arabia and Israel are building a canal to replace the suez. This will let work crews and material land and start construction."
Wow, that's weird. I hadn't heard of this. Could this be true?
Google 'saudi arabia, india, suez replacement'
The first result is this: https://www.agenzianova.com/en/news/The-Egyptian-authority-the-Saudi-Indian-corridor-will-not-replace-the-Suez-Canal/
That's weird, why would he say that?
Rabie was commenting on the Saudi-India Economic Corridor project, part of an agreement reached between Saudi Arabia and India on the sidelines of the summit of G20 in New Delhi.
What?
So the G20 summit was in India, and during this time Saudi Arabia and India made an agreement for an economic project.
Wait a second, when was this?
Early September...
And the Palestinian attack happened in early October.
So this meeting happened one month before the Palestinian attack on Israel. That's fricking weird.
Here's an article that fills in a lot of the details
tldr: The Suez canal is controlled by Egypt, which is an ally of BRIC's.
Building an alternative would massively frick over Russia and China .. And also Egypt ( sorry @Aevann )
Anyways: on to Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is in the process of building a brand new futuristic city. They're calling it NEOM or some shit like that
https://www.neom.com/en-us/about
WHAT DOES NEOM MEAN?
The name NEOM is derived from two words. Envisioned by His Royal Highness Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Chairman of the NEOM Company Board of Directors, the first three letters come from the Ancient Greek prefix neo – meaning 'new'. The 'M' is the first from 'Mustaqbal', an Arabic word meaning 'future'. The M is also the first letter of the Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman.
Okay, cool.
Here's another article
Okay, so in order to build NEOM, SA is forcibly evicting people from their land and shooting people who resist.
Where is NEOM?
Huh.
ANYWAYS so back to the beginning.
Remember that big fricking dock we just built in Gaza?
It's rated so that we can basically unload whatever the frick we want on it. Meaning, construction equipment and materials.
So remember that article about the Ben Gurion canal that Israel has been wanting to build for forever?
That had a picture in it
ayyy lmao, that runs up and carefully around Gaza
You know what would be even better? If it went right the frick through it.
lol.
lmao, even.
I made up the dock placement, but you get the point.
It doesn't fricking matter where they put it, it's in gaza and they're unloading shit with it.
Also, this is why they're starving and forcibly relocating people in Gaza right now.
To make way for the Canal.
If this project comes to fruition it is going to circumvent the Suez canal, and by extension, BRICS.
Completely kneecapping China and Russia economically.
This will likely lead to World War 3.
Oh, but first we have to fricking get rid of Palestine.
Good thing they're all fricking starving or whatever and getting forcibly relocated, idk. Aid dock, more like AIDS dock.
Also, if it wasn't completely clear already - There were rumors that the Israeli government had been warned in advance of the 10/6 attack and didn't stop it.
Well, now you know why. Trying to coerce these motherlovers to get out of the way would have been nearly impossible and also VERY EXPENSIVE.
There is no way in heck that the Palestinian government would have just let Israel buy up land and move people to build this thing.
And even if they did, the international community wouldn't have allowed it.
Now that there's a fricking war going on, Israel can just fricking level everything and turn all of the Palestinians into Refugees instead.
Anyone who doesn't make way for Suez Canal 2.0 is getting shot the frick up.
The people in the way? Gone.
The buildings in the way? Also gone.
@Aevann effort post me plz, thank you
p.s. if you still don't believe 9/11 was an inside job. well idk what to tell you.

Sodastream
Sodastream is a way to make your own soda and sparkling water at home. It, or an ancestor of the current model, was invented in 1902. Sodastream was originally from England . A distributor in Israel developed a better home water carbonization system, quit, set up his own company called Sodaclub, and eventually made enough money to buy out the original sodastream.
This is because Jews love seltzer water. Just one of their many idiosyncrasies.
