Sheikh Qassem: We are a fundamental component of Lebanon, so how the resistance is approached must be reconsidered
Sheikh Qassem: The Resistance is part of the Taif Constitution, stipulated therein, thus a constitutional matter cannot be discussed by voting, rather, it requires consensus
Sheikh Qassem: The state must develop plans to confront pressure and protect security and sovereignty, not strip its citizens of their capabilities and losing its points of strength
Sheikh Qassim: Does handing over weapons to 'Israel', at its request and at the request of America and some Arab countries, enforce sovereignty?
Sheikh Qassem: Does giving up weapons and surrendering to 'Israel' protect sovereignty?
Sheikh Qassem: America has exhausted Lebanon, along with some Arabs, under the slogan 'Do whatever is necessary and we will provide you [with what you want].'
Sheikh Qassem: Defending Lebanon against any new Israeli aggression will lead to missiles falling on the Israeli entity
Sheikh Qassim: Submitting to external pressures to stop funding is not allowed; what is the benefit of funding if we become henchmen?

Seven Israeli soldiers were killed and around 17 others were wounded, some critically, after being lured into a complex ambush in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, Israeli media reported on Tuesday evening.

According to the details, Israeli sources noted that the casualties involved two military units from different brigades and division-level formations. The reports also indicated that several soldiers were still unaccounted for on the battlefield, with serious concerns about their fate. Military helicopters reportedly evacuated the wounded to Tel HaShomer Hospital in Tel Aviv.

Israeli media described the incident as “difficult to comprehend,” given that both the killed and wounded were from two different units.

They reported that Palestinian Resistance fighters had set a sophisticated ambush for an Israeli force, setting fire to an armored personnel carrier of the Puma type while soldiers were still inside.

The cries of the wounded could be heard on video footage captured by Hamas fighters, before a second ambush was launched targeting the rescue team.

Israeli reports confirmed that the families of the killed soldiers had been notified and that some of the wounded remained in critical condition.
