BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), announced on Saturday carrying out an ambush in Israeli military force, inflicting confirmed casualties among its members.

The Israeli forces admitted that two more officers succumbed on Saturday to injuries sustained in Gaza yesterday, raising the total number of Israelis killed in Palestinian Resistances' Friday operations to three.

In a statement, the group said it lured an Israeli engineering unit into a pre-rigged tunnel in the military sites area east of Deir al-Balah, before detonating the explosives, killing and wounding its officers and soldiers.
