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 has been preventing Civil Defense teams from operating in northern Gaza for 50 days, Mahmoud Basal, the spokesperson for Gaza's Civil Defense, said on Tuesday. 

Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Basal stated that the reality in northern Gaza was "catastrophic", where many civilians are trapped beneath the rubble, with their screams being heard across the area for rescue that has been rendered impossible to navigate or enter.

Moreover, 16 Palestinians were killed in Gaza City alone since this morning, the spokesperson said, adding that "medical services in Gaza City have ceased, and the limited amounts of aid provided by humanitarian organizations are nowhere near sufficient to meet needs or continue delivering services."

Basal also said eight Palestinians were killed in the Israeli aggression on Jabalia in the northern area of al-Nazla, including three children and two women. Moreover, a Civil Defense member was also killed in the ongoing aggression on the northern district. 

A few hours earlier, Israeli warplanes targeted a Civil Defense center in Gaza City, resulting in the martyrdom of two people.

Meanwhile, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Tom Fletcher, stated that Gaza is currently the most dangerous place for humanitarian aid provisions, noting that the Gaza Strip has witnessed the highest recorded number of humanitarian workers killed.

As of the 445th day of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, the death toll has reached 45,338 Palestinians killed and 107,764 injured since October 7, 2023.
