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.

At least 24 Palestinians have been killed or injured as a result of a series of brutal Israeli airstrikes targeting various areas of the Gaza Strip, including the central, southern, and northern regions, since early Tuesday.

According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza, five Palestinians were killed and 12 others were injured in an Israeli airstrike on the Joudat building near al-Faruq Mosque in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

In another strike, four Palestinians were martyred and others were injured in an Israeli air raid that targeted a house in Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip.

A Palestinian was also killed by an Israeli drone strike on the al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip. In addition, Israeli artillery shelled several areas near al-Hilmi Saqr Mosque in western Rafah, in the southern part of the region.

An Israeli airstrike also hit the eastern areas of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, while Israeli reconnaissance planes continued to conduct intensive flights over the region, according to our reporter.

Our correspondent further noted that "the occupation is attempting to impose a policy of forced displacement on Gaza residents, issuing new evacuation orders, particularly in the northern part of the strip."

Death toll in Gaza surpasses 50,000 as medical crisis worsens

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza reported 62 fatalities and 296 injuries in 24 hours due to relentless Israeli airstrikes, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed since March 18 to 792 martyrs and 1,663 wounded. The overall death toll since the beginning of the war on October 7, 2023, has now exceeded 50,144, with 113,704 people injured.

According to health officials, many victims remain trapped under the rubble or in the streets, with emergency response teams unable to reach them due to ongoing attacks. The ministry has also warned of a worsening humanitarian catastrophe as medical supplies dwindle and hospitals struggle to operate under severe shortages.

The Ministry of Health has sounded the alarm over the depletion of blood bank reserves and laboratory supplies, warning that the available stock is insufficient to meet the growing medical needs. The continued closure of border crossings to medical aid and essential equipment has further exacerbated the crisis.

Hospitals require at least 8,000 blood units per month to treat the injured and patients suffering from chronic blood disorders, but donations have plummeted due to widespread food, water, and medicine shortages.

Meanwhile, hospitals in Gaza City and the North are operating under emergency conditions, with limited medical equipment and consumables. The ministry has issued an urgent appeal for citizens to donate blood at operational hospitals to help alleviate the crisis.

As Israeli bombardment continues unabated, the humanitarian situation in Gaza grows increasingly dire, with no signs of relief in sight.

Fate of PRCS medical team remains unknown 

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that, for the third consecutive day, the whereabouts of 9 of its medical personnel remain unknown after being besieged and targeted by invading Israeli units in Rafah, southern Gaza.

The organization stated that "Israeli authorities continue to block all attempts to coordinate with international agencies to send rescue teams to the area."

The Red Crescent expressed deep concern for the safety of its staff and held "Israeli authorities fully accountable for their wellbeing."

Two days ago, five Palestinians were killed and others were injured in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza.

Egypt, Jordan condemn Israeli plans of mass Palestinian displacement

Earlier today, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned Israeli authorities' decision to establish an agency aimed at displacing Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and approving the recognition of 13 new settlements in the occupied West Bank.

In a statement, the ministry rejected what it called the false premise of "voluntary departure", stressing that any movement of Palestinians under the current conditions of war constitutes forced displacement.

"Departures taking place under relentless bombardment, war, and policies that block humanitarian aid while using starvation as a weapon amount to forced displacement— a war crime and a violation of international law and international humanitarian law," the statement read.

Cairo urged the international community and the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to take decisive action against "Israel’s continued violations and provocations" and to enforce international resolutions ensuring Palestinian rights, particularly their right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East al-Quds as its capital.

Meanwhile, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi reaffirmed Amman’s firm rejection of any forced displacement of Palestinians, stating that Jordan's position "remains unchanged and will not waver."

Speaking before the Jordanian Parliament on Monday, Safadi said "Israel" is systematically pushing Palestinians out of their homeland.

"What is happening on the ground is a calculated Israeli effort to force Palestinians from their land," he stressed.
