BREAKING
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.

  • IOF raids Ariha, Ezzeddine Qassam Brigades respond
    Palestinians run from tear gas fired by Israeli forces raiding Aqbat Jabr camp, southwest of the city of Ariha on Saturday, Feb. 4, 2023, during a search for the Palestinian suspects behind a shooting attack at a restaurant in a nearby settlement last week

The Aqabat Jaber refugee camp battalion of the Ezzeddine Al-Qassam brigades, the military wing of the Hamas resistance movement, said Saturday that its freedom fighters took part in violent confrontations with the Israeli occupation forces after they stormed the camp earlier in the day.

"The occupation failed to achieve its goals, and it withdrew from the camp in disappointment," the battalion said.

The group said its fighters underwent harsh confrontations as they were confronting the IOF's futile attempt at raiding the camp, raining down bullets and IEDs on the occupation forces, causing direct injuries.

The Israeli aggression in the Aqabat Jaber refugee camp of Ariha was like no other in the region due to the fierceness of the armed resistance that the IOF faced, Yedioth Ahronoth's military affairs correspondent reported.

"Dozens of armed men were facing the special forces in the city, which is considered the camest in the West Bank," the Israeli journalist said.

IOF withdraws

The Israeli occupation forces withdrew their military vehicles from the refugee camp hours after the failed military operation that saw nine Palestinians getting injured, two of whom sustained serious wounds.

The Israeli occupation forces had surrounded a home in Aqabat Jaber and shelled it, claiming that one of its residents had carried out a shooting near the Dead Sea last week.

The Israeli occupation army reported last Saturday that a shooting attack took place near a restaurant at the "Almog Junction" near the city of Areeha in the occupied West Bank.

A spokesperson for the Israeli occupation army claimed that a Palestinian arrived at a restaurant near the "Almog junction", fired bullets, and withdrew from the scene in a car without causing any injuries.

The occupation indicated that its forces began sweeping the area in search of the Palestinian who carried out the shooting.

Simultaneously, Israeli media claimed that a truck driver tried to ram Israeli occupation soldiers at the Za'tara checkpoint, south of Nablus, without any injuries reported. The media said occupation soldiers opened gunfire at a Palestinian truck driver.

Earlier, Israeli media quoted a spokesperson for the Israeli occupation police as saying that settlers who have a gun license should carry their weapons on them.

This comes a few hours after Israeli media reported that two Israeli settlers were seriously injured in a shooting attack in Silwan, occupied Al-Quds.

On Friday, Israeli occupation police announced that seven settlers were killed and at least 10 others were wounded in the aftermath of a shooting that took place in Nabi Yaqub, occupied Al-Quds.
