BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a source of power for Lebanon that must be preserved.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" must implement the agreement as Lebanon has already done so, and any new accord would amount to absolving it and opening the door to further attacks.
Sheikh Qassem: We do not wish to assume anyone's role; those accusing us of this must cease their accusations.
Sheikh Qassem: We will recover our lands through national solidarity; Resistance's goal is national liberation, while enemy goal is occupation.
Sheikh Qassem: Protection of sovereignty protects Lebanon. It is in real danger because of US belligerence, greedy Israeli expansion.
Qassem to Lebanese people: We are not asking for support but for us not to be stabbed in the back in the back or for some to serve Israeli interests; government is primary party responsible for [preservation of] sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" can occupy, but it cannot persist in occupation of our land.
Sheikh Qassem: Intimidation will not change our stance of resistance and steadfastness. We are not advocates of surrender or defeat, and we will never accept it.
Sheikh Qassem: Where does US stand regarding enemy's unjustified assassination of a government worker and other civilian martyrs?
Sheikh Qassem: Is the Lebanese Army's defense of its land and citizens an accusation [leveled against it]? Where does US stand regarding the enemy's killing of civilians and constant destruction?

Gaza’s health authorities have reported that 44 people were killed and 145 others injured in the past 24 hours as a result of continued Israeli aggression across the Gaza Strip. The figures were released as part of the latest daily update amid a deepening humanitarian crisis.

According to the report, emergency response teams are facing severe access challenges. Many victims remain trapped beneath rubble or stranded in areas that rescue crews cannot safely reach due to the ongoing hostilities.

Health officials noted that the inability to recover bodies or provide urgent medical assistance is contributing to the mounting toll. Medical facilities remain overwhelmed, while damaged infrastructure continues to limit the delivery of critical care.

Since the beginning of the war on October 7, 2023, the total number of reported casualties in Gaza has reached 51,201 martyrs and 116,869 injured, according to official figures from Palestinian health authorities.

In the most recent phase of the war, which began on March 18, 2025, at least 1,827 people have been martyred and 4,828 others wounded. These figures underscore the continued intensity of military operations and their impact on civilians.

Local and international humanitarian organizations have raised repeated alarms over the deteriorating humanitarian situation. With hospitals operating far beyond capacity and emergency personnel facing extreme risks, the delivery of aid and medical support remains highly constrained.

On Saturday, the Israeli occupation forces escalated their military operations across the Gaza Strip, launching a wave of air and drone strikes that have left numerous civilians martyred and many more wounded, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent.

The latest overnight attacks deepened the already dire humanitarian crisis in Palestine, as multiple children fell victim to the Israeli strikes.

In Khan Younis, located in the southern Gaza Strip, four civilians — including two children and a young girl — were killed when an Israeli airstrike targeted a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians in the al-Mawasi area. A separate drone strike near the British field hospital in the same district claimed another four lives and caused multiple injuries.

Israeli drones also struck a tent sheltering displaced people near the Al-Amal Hotel in western Gaza City, killing two people and injuring four. Additional casualties were reported in a subsequent attack on another tent in the al-Mawasi region, which continues to be a haven for displaced families.
