On October 9, the London-listed firm Energean began testing pipes between Israel and the Karish naval gas field, the focal point of the maritime dispute with Lebanon.
“Following approval received from the Israeli Ministry of Energy to start certain testing procedures, the flow of gas from onshore to the FPSO [Floating Production Storage Offloading] has commenced,” the firm said in a statement.
Israel has maintained that Karish falls entirely within its territory, while Lebanon has made claims to parts of the gas field. Currently, Karish is the focal point of the U.S.-mediated maritime border talks between the two countries.
In its statement, Energean said that the tests, which will go on for a number of weeks, were “an important step” towards extracting gas from the Karish.
Israel decided to begin tests at Karish a few days after rejecting Lebanon’s amendment to a draft agreement that aims to settle competing claims over the gas field. The draft agreement was presented by U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein.
Hezbollah, which holds huge influence in Lebanon, warned Israel on multiple occasions over the last few months against extracting gas from the disputed field before the maritime border are demarcated. The head of the group’s Executive Council renewed these warnings just two days before Energean began its tests at Karish.
The group has already demonstrated its will to secure Lebanon’s claimed rights in Karish by harassing Israeli naval forces and companies operating there with unarmed drones.
The ongoing tests are a key step towards the start of gas production from Karish. Israel’s decision to begin the tests could jeopardize the U.S.-mediate talks, or even provoke a response from Hezbollah. A response that could spark a full-blown military conflict.
Look how elated these jews are in the image. Money is on the hook. Time to reel it in.
I will hang you from hook. You will regret your words.
I will remove your dying crying eyes with a hook… and then I will rape your mother with it you stupid piece of shit.
Iron zion Try it remember if wishes were horses zionist would be first to ride them but it is not the case ,they tried in 2006 and are living to regret it This time around you all will meet your maker
Lebanon is self inflicting this on themselves, a place which is the most corrupt in the world, a place wit no power or internet or banking system at all, with no food no currency is still bikering on pretending to be a super power when they can come to a middle ground and save themselves from further annihilation.
Everyone knows the gas is ours and even the foolish Lebanese know this. Let me tell you a little story, we will take what is ours, and if they dare attack, we will blow and flatten Beirut and neutralise the Hezbollah terror. Watch us cowards.
I want Hezbollah dead like you can’t imagine and the only assholes who can do this are the israelis. However You specificlaly you Iron so called Zion is juts another extremist who would gladly sacrifice any country not related to Hezbollah to burn (IE the armenians fightign against those digenerate azeris) because you ahve vested interests.
I understand the interests part just dont pretend you are righteous and the chosen ones.
Lmafo isreal day are number jews is gays the hold jews is gays no joke Iran will wipe out
Gays are the finst people. They have time to work hard and pay a lot of tax. They also dont make children. They should be prefared in countries, where people do more time in beds then outside.
“Gays are the finst people.”
They are not people, they are sick degenerates. You for example.
hahaha you total jerk. who will take care of you in old age and who pays your pension without children?
Refresh my memory: was it 2006 when Hezbollah last chased Israel out of Lebanon?
Come live in Lebanon, after you do for a while I want to see you prasie them then. Its easy to praise Hezbollah under the false notion of “patriotic protectors” the image they like to sell you while they ass fuck every citizen and organization that opposes their corruption inside and run the country into the ground like they have for the past 20 years.
You failed to answer the question.
So how much land did Hesbollah take.
You are full of gas. The only thing you stupid gay moron can take is your daddy’s dick right into your ass.
You show Yoúr level very well.
As several other parts its very disputed.
Wishful thinking.
The brash Kikesters talk big but they have balls you need a microscope to find! Glorious Hezbollah will make them repent their wicked Jew money-worshipping and stealing ways!!!

“Nobody knows how useful it is to be useless.” – Chuang Tzu
I pray that I live to see the abomination known as Israel completely destroyed along with it’s entire population.
What a blessed day that will be!
Tell me, what comes next after israel is “annihilated” you think its peace and love in the middle east?
Let me give you a glimpse of the hypothetical.
Palestinians will split into a dozen militias and start killing each other for power, syria and hezbollah will take their piece abd start killing palestinians, the egyptians will join in and start killing everyone else.. jordanians will claim part pf theird and join the egyptians against syria and hezbollah and Iran.
Now you will have another 300 years of more bloodshed than all the days of israeli arab war combined.
This is because you never realized the true enemy of these people are within.
Something like that. Thats why I seldom comment about it anymore. My last good comment was: As long as they kill each other, they dont come here.
It has been going on from long time before I was born.
Inflammation always comes after a cancer tumour is removed, but the inflation does go down, and all is then calm.
No wonder they care little of You.
FACT REMAINS THAT zionist entity MUST SIT UNTIL TUESDAY WHEN HASSAN NASRALLAH WILL MAKE SPEECH AND OUTCOME OTHERWISE FOLLOWING IS WHAT IS HAPPENING
In turn, Energean (ENOG.L) announced on Sunday it has begun pumping gas to its floating production facility in the offshore Karish gas field as part of reverse flow testing procedures approved by the Israeli government.
It said the testing phase is an important step in the commissioning process of the so-called FPSO Energean Power facility.
Two Lebanese officials Sunday told AFP that they had been informed by the US mediator that the company Energean was only carrying out tests and had therefore not started operating the Karish field.
According to Israeli media, Iraqi hacker group “al-Tahara,” which identifies as pro-Iranian, attacked the websites for two natural gas companies on Sunday — Energean and Israowned Israel Natural Gas Lines. The Energean website was inaccessible after the testing announcement.
