BREAKING
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.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

The Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing, announced that its fighters targeted the Israeli-occupied city of Isdud [Ashdod] with a barrage of rockets in response to the Israeli massacres of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. 

Israeli media had reported sirens in the center of occupied Palestine, as well as in Askalan [Ashkelon] and Isdud [Ashdod]. Israeli media also noted that seven rockets targeted Isdud [Ashdod]. 

Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the Israeli military stated that ten rockets were fired from Gaza, claiming that some were intercepted. 

Three settlers were reported injured in Askalan, with panic spreading among settlers and significant damage to cars, buildings, and streets due to direct hits in the occupied town, as well as in the Shefela region south of Tel Aviv.

26 Palestinians were killed and 113 were injured in 24 hours, Gaza’s Ministry of Health reported, as Israeli attacks on the besieged enclave continue unabated.

In a statement released Sunday, the ministry confirmed that several victims remain trapped under the rubble and in the streets, where emergency and civil defense crews are unable to reach them due to ongoing Israeli assualts.

The health authorities noted that since March 18, 2025, at least 1,335 people have been killed, and 3,297 have been injured, highlighting a steep escalation in the humanitarian crisis.

The cumulative toll from the Israeli genocide, which began on October 7, 2023, has now reached 50,695 killed and 115,338 injured, according to the ministry’s latest figures.
