BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a source of power for Lebanon that must be preserved.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" must implement the agreement as Lebanon has already done so, and any new accord would amount to absolving it and opening the door to further attacks.
Sheikh Qassem: We do not wish to assume anyone's role; those accusing us of this must cease their accusations.
Sheikh Qassem: We will recover our lands through national solidarity; Resistance's goal is national liberation, while enemy goal is occupation.
Sheikh Qassem: Protection of sovereignty protects Lebanon. It is in real danger because of US belligerence, greedy Israeli expansion.
Qassem to Lebanese people: We are not asking for support but for us not to be stabbed in the back in the back or for some to serve Israeli interests; government is primary party responsible for [preservation of] sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" can occupy, but it cannot persist in occupation of our land.
Sheikh Qassem: Intimidation will not change our stance of resistance and steadfastness. We are not advocates of surrender or defeat, and we will never accept it.
Sheikh Qassem: Where does US stand regarding enemy's unjustified assassination of a government worker and other civilian martyrs?
Sheikh Qassem: Is the Lebanese Army's defense of its land and citizens an accusation [leveled against it]? Where does US stand regarding the enemy's killing of civilians and constant destruction?

In a report by The New York Times, a jury in Kentucky acquitted a former police officer charged with firing ten rounds during a bungled police raid that killed Breonna Taylor in her sleep.

On Thursday, detective Brett Hankison, who was acquitted of three counts of "wanton endangerment", told the jury that he fired inside Taylor's apartment because he feared other cops were in danger after her boyfriend Kenneth Walker fired at what he thought were intruders.

Taylor, a 26-year-old Black emergency room technician, was hit by two police officers who returned fire. In 2020, her death, along with the vigilante murders of Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd by former Minnesota Police Officer Derek Chauvin, sparked nationwide protests.

Hankison dashed from the doorway to the side of the building and fired 10 rounds through a window and sliding glass door into Taylor's apartment.

Three bullets struck Taylor's apartment, as well as a nearby flat, where Chelsey Napper, who was pregnant at the time, her boyfriend, and her 5-year-old son were sleeping.

As she checked on her kid and took cover on the floor, Napper said that it felt like bullets were "flying everywhere". Napper's kitchen table, a wall, and a glass patio door were all hit by the gunshots.

None of the cops suspected of shooting and killing Taylor while she was sleeping have been charged or held in any way responsible or accountable.
