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.

The Israeli occupation army acknowledges the death of a First Sergeant and the critical injury of three others during confrontations with the Palestinian Resistance in the northern Gaza Strip. According to Israeli media, the killed sergeant was a fighter in the 932nd Battalion of the Israeli occupation's "Nahal" Brigade.

A fighter from the same battalion and a reserve fighter from the 636th Information Battalion, "Judea and Samaria 877" Brigade, were also seriously injured in the northern Gaza confrontations. Israeli media added that a fighter from the "Shaked" Battalion, "Givati" Brigade, was also seriously injured in the northern sector.

Earlier, the Israeli army admitted to the death of another soldier in its ranks due to serious injuries sustained in a previous battle against Palestinian resistance in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza.

With this, the number of officially recognized deaths in the Israeli occupation army has risen to 576 since October 7, 2023.

Despite the Israeli occupation army's strict control over the publication of the true numbers of its casualties and injuries, due to ground confrontations in the sector, aiming to conceal the extent of its losses, accurate data and recorded footage broadcast by Palestinian Resistance indicate that the losses incurred by the occupation are much greater than officially announced.

Heavy battles across Gaza as Resistance continues fight against IOF

Violent confrontations have resumed between the Palestinian Resistance and occupation forces in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of the city of Gaza, amid continuous Israeli attempts to take full control of the area more than 4 months into the aggression, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

In the Block J area West of Khan Younis, al-Qassam announced that its fighters detonated an explosive device in a 6-man Israeli force fortified in a house, confirming casualties among the troops.

For their part, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's (PIJ) al-Quds Brigades confirmed confronting Israeli forces and military vehicles in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood using machine guns and anti-tank missiles, resulting in several casualties among the invaders.

In an operation similar to that of al-Qassam, the Resistance group's fighters, using a TGP shell, struck a house west of Khan Younis where 6 Israeli soldiers were stationed.

Gaza City also saw fighters from the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement, engaging in fierce confrontations with Israeli occupation soldiers reinforced with heavy military vehicles.

The group said it had targeted Israeli forces across the city's battle axes, confirming direct hits. It also revealed targeting Israeli forces' positions east of Beit Hanoun with heavy caliber mortar shells.

Meanwhile, fighters from the National Resistance Brigades (the forces of the martyr Omar al-Qassem), the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), confronted Israeli forces advancing east of Gaza City using a variety of weaponry. The group confirmed casualties among occupation troops.

As for the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the group stated it had carried out tactical strikes using mortars against gathering positions of Israeli soldiers and vehicles in the eastern areas of Jabalia and Gaza City.
