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.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan took a jab at the United Nations today and urged the Islamic world to react after the Israeli occupation's latest massacres in Rafah. 

Speaking with lawmakers from his AKP part, Erdogan said, "The UN cannot even protect its own staff. What are you waiting for to act? The spirit of the United Nations is dead in Gaza." 

Addressing the lawmakers, Erdogan also criticized the Islamic world for failing to take common action over the Israeli massacres, as he said,  "I have some words to say to the Islamic world: what are you waiting for to take a common decision?" 

"Israel is not just a threat to Gaza but to all of humanity," he stressed.

"No state is safe as long as Israel does not follow international law and does not feel bound by international law," Erdogan added, emphasizing that "Israel" is committing genocide in Gaza. 

Israeli massacres in Rafah, Gaza

Israeli occupation forces committed six massacres against Palestinian families in Gaza in 24 hours, killing 75 Palestinians and injuring 284 others, Gaza's Ministry of Health said, announcing today's toll.

Many victims remain under the rubble and on the streets as the IOF deliberately prevents ambulances and civil defense crews from reaching them.

This brings the total number of Palestinians killed by the Israeli occupation since October 7 to 36,171 and those injured to 81,420, the Ministry added.

It is believed that these numbers are nowhere near the true number of victims of "Israel's" genocidal war in Gaza, as Palestinian healthcare authorities face significant challenges in accurately tallying the number of martyrs wounded and individuals dying beneath the rubble.

Moreover, the Government Media Office in Gaza confirmed that the Israeli occupation killed 72 displaced Palestinians within 48 hours between Sunday and Tuesday by bombing their tents in areas it had labeled as "safe zones", west of Rafah.
