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.

A senior Hezbollah official affirmed the Lebanese Resistance's commitment to supporting Palestinians in Gaza, expressing resilience in the face of threats from the US and "Israel".

Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem stated, on Sunday, that the strength of the Resistance is derived from the Palestinians' right to their land and their determination to fight to the end.

He emphasized that the Lebanese Resistance is prepared to persist and stand by the Palestinians, dismissing any intimidation from the US and "Israel".

These remarks were made during an interview for Lebanon’s el-Nashra newspaper during which Sheikh Qassem emphasized that the Israeli entity did not achieve any objectives during its prolonged offensive on Gaza, initiated on October 7 following Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

“During 50 days, the Israelis did not achieve any goals, even the prisoners were released in exchange [for captives] and not in the battle,” Sheikh Qassem said, in reference to the truce which began on November 24 and was renewed twice before expiring on Friday.

“This war is absurd and has repercussions for the Israeli regime. The Palestinian people will emerge from this war stronger and more committed to their land and to their Resistance, while the Israelis will be weaker and more anxious about the future,” he added.

The senior Hezbollah official further stated that they will ultimately overcome "Israel", but they are not in a hurry to achieve this.

It is worth noting that Hezbollah retaliatiory strikes on the Israeli occupation since the beginning of the IOF's aggression on the Gaza Strip, expressing support for the Palestinians in the coastal region and the killing of Lebanese civilians including three children and four journalists.

Importantly, the Lebanese Resistance dealt direct hits to an Israeli occupation force, taking position in a building in the "Doviv" settlement at 3:30 pm (local time) on Saturday. This came as an initial response to "Israel's" targeting of a civilian house in the southern town of Houla on Friday. The Resistance also executed a similar attack less than an hour later, targeting another building in "Doviv", which housed Israeli occupation forces.

Hezbollah fighters went on to launch attacks on the "Metulla" and al-Marj military sites, dealing direct hits to their intended targets. 

Significantly, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon confirmed direct hits on the headquarters of the 91st Division, located in the "Biranit" Barracks. The Resistance also targeted artillery positions at the Khirbet Ma'ar military site, opposite the Lebanese towns of al-Dhayrah and Yaroun, near the Lebanese-Palestinian border, using the appropriate weapons and rockets.
