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.

Migrant aid group Walking Borders reported Sunday that approximately 300 people who were traveling on three migrant boats from Senegal to Spain's Canary Islands have disappeared.

According to Helena Maleno of Walking Borders, two boats carrying around 65 people and between 50 and 60 people respectively, have been missing for 15 days since their departure from Senegal in an attempt to reach Spain.

Another boat, with approximately 200 people on board, left Senegal on June 27th.

The families of those on board have not received any communication since their departure.

All three boats departed from Kafountine in the south of Senegal, which is about 1,700 kilometers away from Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands.

The families are deeply concerned, as the approximately 300 people are from the same area of Senegal and left due to instability in the country.

It is worth noting that the Canary Islands have become a primary destination for migrants attempting to reach Spain, particularly during the summer.

The Atlantic migration route, often used by migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, is known to be one of the deadliest in the world. In 2022, at least 559 people, including 22 children, lost their lives while attempting to reach the Canary Islands, according to data from the UN's International Organization for Migration.
