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 commenced its operations against the Israeli occupation bases and sites on Saturday by targeting the Zvolon military industrial base, north of the city of Haifa, with a barrage of rockets.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon continues to launch operations against the Israeli occupation within Operation People of Might, targeting the bases and gatherings of occupation forces in northern occupied Palestine and deep within the occupation entity.

At midnight, the Resistance fighters targeted the occupied city of Safad with a barrage of rockets.

These operations come in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and their valiant and honorable Resistance and in defense of Lebanon and its people.

In this context, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in South Lebanon reported that two rocket salvos were launched from Lebanon toward the occupied Palestinian territories, confirming that a rocket salvo was launched toward the al-Jalil panhandle as well. Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that a rocket fell near Kiryat Bialik, near Haifa.

Sirens sounded in Safad, Akka, Haifa Bay, and Krayot, as well as in the settlements of Kiryat Shmona, al-Manara, Tel Hai, Metulla, Upper al-Jalil, Miskaf-Am, and Kfar Giladi in the al-Jalil panhandle. 

The Resistance forces struck the settlement of Avivim, targeting an Israeli military grouping. Shortly after, a precision rocket barrage hit the Haifa Technical Base, a key facility linked to the Israeli Air Force in occupied Haifa. The attacks continued throughout the day, with the Resistance fighters striking the settlements of Hatzor HaGlilit and Rosh Pina with further rocket salvos.

By early afternoon, the Resistance expanded its strikes to include Kiryat Shmona, marking the second such strike on the settlement. This was followed by an operation targeting Ma'alot Tarshiha, also hit for the second time. Soon after, rockets targeted the Meron Air Operations Base, followed by attacks on Israeli military groupings in Metulla and occupied Safad.

Hezbollah fighters pledge allegiance to Sheikh Qassem, vow victory

Earlier, in a letter expressing unwavering commitment, the fighters of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah reaffirmed their allegiance to Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem, highlighting their steadfast dedication to the movement's objectives and path of Resistance.

Addressing Sheikh Qassem as their "trusted leader", the fighters described themselves as "the children of the path of the oppressed" and "the legacy of our beloved, the sacred martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah," underscoring their determination to uphold the principles of the late Hezbollah leader.

They emphasized their role as the "soldiers of God" and the "right hand" of their leadership, committed to defending their people against "enemies of God and humanity."

The Resistance recalled the great martyrs and leaders of Hezbollah and the Resistance in Lebanon, from leader Sayyed Moussa al-Sadr to Sheikh Ragheb Harb, Sayyed Abbas al-Moussawi, and Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, pledging to maintain and safeguard the path of resistance for as long as attaining liberation could take.

In a closing vow, the letter reaffirmed the fighters' pledge to continue following Hezbollah's path, honoring the "sacred mission" entrusted to them, and keeping Hezbollah's banner "raised in the fields of jihad."
