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.

Indian sources informed the ANI news agency on Sunday that New Delhi is carrying out targeted strikes against infrastructure inside Pakistan as part of Operation Sindoor, a military campaign launched in retaliation for last month's mass shooting in Pahalgam.

The sources stated, "Both Pakistan and the world must accept that it cannot be business as usual." They added that the operation is meant "to bring the perpetrators of the Pahalgam attack to justice" and represents "a new normal in India's approach to fighting terrorism."

The April 22 bombing near Pahalgam killed 25 Indian nationals and one Nepalese citizen. India has placed blame on Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) for the assault, while Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has denied any involvement.

Operation Sindoor, which began on May 7, has involved coordinated airstrikes by India's Army, Navy, and Air Force across multiple sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The Indian Defense Ministry has described the targets as "terrorist infrastructure," including suspected camps and operational hubs of groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed in locations like Bahawalpur, Muridke, and Muzaffarabad. According to Indian officials, the strikes have resulted in the deaths of nearly 100 militants.

Despite a ceasefire agreement reportedly brokered by the United States on May 10, both sides have accused each other of violating the truce within hours. India maintains that Pakistan breached the terms of the deal, prompting further retaliation. The Indian Air Force later stated that it had "successfully executed its assigned tasks" under Operation Sindoor, signaling that the campaign remains active.

Meanwhile, Pakistan has condemned the strikes as an "act of war" and vowed to respond. Military alert levels along the border remain high, and international actors, including the US and China, have called for restraint and renewed dialogue.
