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.

Hamas' head of Political Bureau Ismail Haniyeh received Friday a phone call from Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

During the call, Amir-Abdollahian condemned the Israeli occupation's violations against Palestinians in Al-Aqsa Mosque in Al-Quds and expressed his country's support for the Palestinian people and their legitimate rights, the Iranian Foreign Minister pointed out.

"Israel" is in its weakest conditions

In a statement, the ministry mentioned that Amir-Abdollahian "referred to the Zionist regime's action in attacking the worshipers and desecrating Al-Aqsa Mosque as the negative effects of normalizing relations by a few Arab-Islamic countries with the fake Israeli regime."

The Iranian minister highlighted that the Resistance is in its best position, while "the Zionist terrorist regime is in its weakest conditions."

"The Islamic Republic of Iran supports formation of an integrated Palestinian government in Palestine with Holy Quds as its capital," Amir-Abdollahian underscored.

Attempts to take control of Al-Aqsa will not succeed

For his part, Haniyeh hailed Iran's stance in supporting the Palestinian cause and the Resistance. 

He called for increasing diplomatic consultations at the level of Islamic countries, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and the United Nations Security Council to stop the Israeli occupation's aggression.

The Palestinian leader affirmed that "Our Palestinian people are committed to holding to their rights, lands, and holy sites."

Haniyeh also stressed that "All attempts to take control of the Al-Aqsa compound or change its Islamic character will not succeed." 

150 Palestinians injured

The Israeli occupation forces had raided Al-Aqsa mosque on Friday dawn and tried to completely evacuate it, which led to confrontations with the Palestinians stationed in it, injuring more than 150. 

Al Mayadeen's correspondent had earlier reported that around 50,000 Palestinians attended the Friday prayers in Al-Aqsa despite the Israeli assaults and mass arrest campaigns.
