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.

This comes shortly after the Palestinian resistance fired more than 100 rockets at the occupied city of Askalan in response to extensive Israeli air raids on residential buildings, mosques, and even schools that Gazans used as shelters.

It is worth noting that the Israeli occupation's indiscriminate shelling has led to numerous casualties among civilians. Palestinian Health Ministry reported that at least 436 citizens were martyred, including 91 children and 61 women, in addition to 2,271 wounded, including 244 children and 151 women due to the Israeli brutal aggression on Gaza.

The Israeli occupation forces are bombarding the Gaza Strip, indiscriminately shelling residential areas all over.

Al-Qassam Brigades revealed on Saturday that the airforce had been engaged in battle since the early hours of  Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. They revealed that 35 al-Zouari suicide drones were employed in different combat sites: attacking different enemy positions 

Al-Qassam Brigades shared footage of the al-Zouari drone attacking Israeli positions to distract the Iron Dome. The drone offered aerial support for the resistance fighters to cross into the occupied Palestinian territories of the Gaza envelope. 

In an earlier statement on Saturday, the brigades announced that five speedboats carrying al-Qassam Brigades navy commandos from Gaza landed in occupied territories during the first stages of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
