Fox News reports that drawdowns made to the
U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) have left
the emergency stockpile at its lowest level since 1983.

High market prices have reportedly delayed
efforts made to replenish the reserve, as Israel's war against Hamas could destabilize oil supplies worldwide.

.
According to data from the Energy Information
Administration (EIA), the SPR had approximately
351.3 million barrels of oil as of September 29.
.
Fox News reports that for most
of the last decade, the emergency stockpile
has stood at over 650 million barrels.
According to an EIA estimate, the U.S. consumes
an estimated 20 million barrels of oil per day.
.
This means that the SPR would be depleted after
just 17 days if America could no longer access "new domestic production or imports," Fox News reports.
.
Fox News reports that the historical average since
1990 has seen the emergency stockpile maintain
approximately 33 days worth of oil reserves.
.
In 1975, the SPR was created under
the Energy Policy and Conservation Act following
an oil embargo by OPEC that lasted from 1973 to 1974.
America’s SPR remains the largest in
the world and stands ready to deliver
on its mission to provide refiners
and the American public relief
in the event of supply disruptions, United States Department of Energy, via Fox Business.
Initially, the SPR was intended to
have a one billion barrel capacity,
but it has never reached that level.
Fox News reports that SPR supplies are held at four
locations in salt caverns located thousands of feet
below ground to prevent leaking oil from seeping out.

In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, an Israeli military helicopter crashed in Gaza's Rafah on Wednesday, resulting in the deaths of two Israeli soldiers and serious injuries to seven others. The crash, captured on camera, has intensified the already dire situation in the besieged Gaza Strip. Initial reports suggest the helicopter, belonging to Unit 669 of the Israeli Air Force, went down due to a "technical malfunction." This incident occurs against the backdrop of Israel's nearly year-long aggressive campaign against Gaza, following the launch of Operation al-Aqsa Storm by Palestinian resistance groups on October 7 of the previous year.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has announced a significant shift in Israel's military strategy following the dismantling of Hamas as a military force in Gaza. The focus of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is now shifting towards the northern front, as discussions about a potential hostage deal unfold. Gallant indicated that Israel might consider withdrawing from the Philadelphi Corridor for up to six weeks to facilitate negotiations aimed at freeing hostages while maintaining security. This move marks a crucial phase in Israel's ongoing operations and diplomatic efforts in the region.

Hamas accuses the US administration of complicity in these crimes and calls for international intervention.
