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.

US President Joe Biden announced Thursday the killing of ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim Al-Hashimi Al-Qurashi in an operation carried out by the US military in northern Syria on Wednesday.

In a statement, Biden confirmed that a US special forces counter-terrorism operation in northwest Syria targeted the ISIS leader, noting that more details about the operation will be announced in later statements on Thursday.

The US President claimed that the US forces have taken Abu Ibrahim Al-Hashimi Al-Qurashi "off the battlefield."

A senior US official said Al-Qurashi had blown himself up during a nighttime airborne raid by US special forces in northwestern Syria.

The bomb that Al-Qurashi detonated also killed members of his own family, including women and children, the official said.  

Only civilian victims

Al Mayadeen's correspondent, quoting local sources, reported that four helicopters belonging to the International Coalition carried out a landing operation near the town of Atma north of Idlib, which resulted in at least 13 civilian casualties, including women and children.

According to Sputnik, a number of elite US soldiers in the US army were injured during the confrontations.

The agency detailed that confrontations between US occupation forces and armed men controlling the area continued for hours in the vicinity of the Atma border area, the far northwest of Syria.

On their social media platforms, militants confirmed that all the victims of the airdrop were in fact civilians and no leader was among them.

Al-Qurashi replaced his predecessor, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, following the latter's killing in a similar raid in October 2019.
