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.

Clashes broke out between Israeli occupation police and settlers from the Yerushalmi Haredim at the recruitment base in Tel HaShomer in the Ramat Gan area south of Tel Aviv, according to Israeli media.

This occurred after Haredim from the Yerushalmi faction stormed the base to release the Haredim who were forcefully conscripted into the Israeli occupation forces.

During their storming of the Tel HaShomer base, they chanted anti-recruitment slogans, such as "Recruitment is worse than death."

In light of this, Israeli media reported that the first day of Haredim recruitment failed, with "only a few of the invited youths responding."

'Israel' witnesses stormy protests outside draft office for Haredim

Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox Israelis gathered, earlier on Monday, to protest near the entrance of the Tel Hashomer base, as per Israeli media reports. This demonstration followed an IOF order requiring 1,200 ultra-Orthodox men to report to the base to start the enlistment process.

Both the Shas party's Council of Torah Sages and Rabbi David Landau, leader of the non-Hasidic Ashkenazi community, have explicitly instructed their followers to avoid the draft office entirely, including the initial screening, and to refrain from military service.

Hundreds of Haredim arrived by bus at the recruitment office at the base, protesting the Israeli military's call for 1,200 Haredim as part of the initial recruitment order.

The protesting Haredim chanted slogans rejecting enlistment, including "We'd rather die than join the army." Meanwhile, both the police and the Israeli military deployed a large force to the area, with the police having already closed off the street around the office.
