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.

At least eight people, including six children, were killed on Sunday in Somalia after their modified auto-rickshaw detonated as a result of a planted landmine, Anadolu Agency reported, citing local officials.

According to the agency, the incident took place in Hirshabelle state, between the villages of Jicibow and Bulaburde.

Ibrahim Abdi Ali, a security officer in Jowhar, the state's administrative capital, told Anadolu that the dead were two families driving together to their farms in the same auto-rickshaw.

"A father, a mother and six children from two families were tragically killed today by a landmine that the terrorist (group) al Shabaab planted near the road. It is heartbreaking and tragic to even talk about this," Ali said.

The official underlined that the sides responsible for the crime against defenseless civilians will not go unpunished.

Despite no organization claiming its responsibility, local officials blamed the Al-Qaeda-linked al Shabaab terrorist group for the attack.

The incident came on the same day as the Somali army, with the assistance of the country's foreign security partners, launched land and aerial operations against al Shabaab, killing over 40 militants, including ringleaders, in Welmaro, a town 40 kilometers away from Afmadow in the Lower Jubba region of Somalia, as per the Somali Ministry of Defense.
