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.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, Hezbollah, announced today that it struck the "Meron" airbase. In the attack, the Resistance said it used rocket and artillery weapons to target the occupation's strategically significant air traffic base.
 
In two other operations, the Islamic Resistance said it targeted "the Command Headquarters of the Eastern Brigade 769 in Kiryat Shmona barracks and Command Headquarters of Israel's 146th Division in Jaatoun using Katyusha rockets." 

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon reiterated that these operations come in support of the resilient Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in response to the Israeli occupation's attacks on Lebanese villages and civilians, the latest of which was the aggression on the villages of Shehabiya and Ain Baal in southern Lebanon.

Israeli media, on the other hand, reported damage to infrastructure due to rocket strikes in "Kiryat Shmona".

Israeli media also confirmed that "rocket warning sirens sounded in northern Israel settlements close to the Lebanon border."

In further detail, Israeli media reported the launch of more than 20 rockets from Lebanon towards the Western al-Jalil. 

Meanwhile, Israeli attacks on southern Lebanese villages and towns continue, with Israeli drones targeting two cars in the town of Shehabiya, resulting in casualties, according to reports from Al-Mayadeen's correspondent.

Our correspondent also reported that an Israeli drone strike targeted a car between the towns of  Ain Baal and Aitit in southern Lebanon.

Martyrs on the path of Al-Quds

Hezbollah also released a statement announcing three new martyrs on the path of Al-Quds, opening the statement with a verse of the Quran reading: "Among the believers are men who have proven true to what they pledged to Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their pledge ˹with their lives˺, others are waiting ˹their turn˺. They have never changed ˹their commitment˺ in the least." Quran (33:23).

Hezbollah announced, "With utmost pride and honor," that its "noble" martyrs are:

- Martyr  Ismail Yusuf Baz "Abu Jaafar" from Shehabiya
