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.

After an "anti-Muslim, hate-motivated investigation," a man who drove his vehicle towards worshippers at two Toronto mosques in Canada was detained, according to reports on Thursday.

Police say they received a call to a mosque in Toronto after a man reportedly drove into the parking lot and attempted to hit worshipers, as well as other vehicles.

The driver then drove away, stopping at another mosque and repeating the same behavior. The crimes occurred on April 5 between 5:30 and 6 a.m., according to authorities.

The suspect then drove to a local shopping mall, where he assaulted numerous customers in a menacing manner and yelled anti-Islamic remarks.

A 28-year-old male was detained and charged with two charges of reckless driving, five counts of criminal harassment, uttering threats of physical harm, assault, and indecent actions in public, and insulting others.

Police also charged the man in connection with another incident on April 7 at a mosque in the neighboring city of Markham.

In a second instance, a 27-year-old woman in Kitchener, roughly 100 kilometers west of Toronto, committed a hate-motivated attack on Wednesday while people waited in line at a driving test center.

Mifrah Abid, the local coordinator of the Coalition of Muslim Women's Together Against Islamophobia initiative, released a video on Twitter in which she addressed a lady.

She accused the woman of "making a racist comment about brown women." The lady refuted the charge before lunging forward, grabbing Abid's phone, and throwing it at her.

The confrontation was captured on film by an onlooker and the woman was charged with assault, assault with a weapon, and theft under $3,700.
