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.

The Ayyash 250 rocket fired by al-Qassam Brigades toward Eilat was first unveiled and fired by Hamas' military wing in May 2021, targeting the "Eilat-Ramon" Airport halting all flights in "Israel" in a historic first.

The rocket as per the name has an effective range of 250 km, meaning that the Resistance can now target any point in occupied Palestine from Gaza.

On October 13 this year, the rocket was fired towards Safad in northern Palestine where the IOF's northern command is headquartered.

An unverified picture circulating on social media shows an alleged al-Qassam rocket hit an open area in "Eilat" where more than 60,000 settlers have fled from Gaza's Envelope.
