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.

Hezbollah's strikes on northern Israeli-occupied territories killed an officer in the Yiftah Reserve Armored Brigade's 8679th unit on Wednesday, the Israeli occupation's military admitted. 

The major who is also a deputy company commander in the aforementioned unit was killed after a rocket-artillery shell landed in an Israeli base in the occupied Golan, while several others were injured in the incident. 

Hezbollah had launched more than 200 rocket-artillery shells, of different types, at Israeli military bases in the Golan and al-Jalil, as part of its response to the assassination of one of its prominent leaders, martyr Mohammad Nehme Nasser, "Hajj Abu Nehme."

Hajj Abu Nehme was martyred after an Israeli drone struck a vehicle in al-Haouch area in the coastal city of Tyre. The leader was the commander of Hezbollah's Aaziz Territorial Unit and had a long history of resisting occupation forces and terror organizations in the region. 

As has been the case in every assassination of a Hezbollah commander, the Islamic Resistance responded and continues to respond in a more intense manner to the assassination of its leaders. 

Although the Resistance launched four attacks on Wednesday, as in initial response to the assassinations carried out by the Israeli occupation, it continued to pummel Israeli sites into Thursday afternoon.
