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 child prisoner Kayed Phosphorous appealed to the world to save her father.

Kayed al-Fasfous, the Palestinian prisoner who has been on hunger strike for 98 days, announced during an interview with Al Mayadeen that he is proceeding with his strike, especially after the Israeli court decided to freeze his administrative detention, explaining that the order is insufficient since his goal is freedom.

Al-Fasfous added, "This is the second administrative detention for me, and I resorted to the hunger strike after suffering greatly from the detainment, and the court keeps issuing an extension order, so I decided that hunger strike is the only way to go."  

During the interview, he said he will attain his freedom, adding that "either I go home or be martyred," noting that doctors are treating him indifferently despite being in a state of perpetual pain. 

He also revealed that the Israeli security is mistreating him and his beloved ones, having expelled his wife twice from the hospital under the pretext of her needing a permit to accompany the patient.

In a statement, he addressed the people and the movements supporting the prisoners' strike, saying, "You raise our morale and our confidence in Allah and the people, and I hope that the movement will be more effective and, God willing, I will attain my freedom."

In turn, Kayed al-Fasfous's daughter appealed to the world to rescue her father as reached his 98th day of hunger strike, pleading in the hope that "my father comes back home with me."

Prisoner Miqdad al-Qawasmi, who has been on a hunger strike for 91 days, said: “I will continue my hunger strike until the annulment of my administrative detention, not its temporary freezing", describing the Israeli arrest as "unjust."

It is reported that the director of the legal unit in the Prisoner’s Club, Jawad Boulos, told Al Mayadeen yesterday that “al-Qawasmi is unable to speak and cannot move his limbs," with the doctors expressing clear concern about the deterioration of his health. 

Al-Qawasmi is at risk of sudden death at any moment as a result of being on hunger strike for 90 days," he added.

It is noteworthy that the Palestinian Prisoners Club confirmed that 6 prisoners are continuing their hunger strike against their administrative detention:

-Kayed al-Fasfous (98 days)

-Miqdad al-Qawasmi (91 days)

-Alaa al-Araj (74 days)

-Hisham Abu-Hawash (65 days)

-Shadi Abu-Aker (57 days)

-Ayad Hraimi (28 days)
