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.

On Tuesday, Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades said that its fighters targeted an Israeli Hummer vehicle in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood north of Gaza, resulting in the killing and wounding of all its occupants after it was completely engulfed in flames. As the IOF attempted to rush to the attacked unit, the fighters struck the rescue force with an anti-personnel missile, the Brigades mentioned in a statement.

Furthermore, the Resistance group confirmed that the total Israeli casualties in the neighborhood were 12 soldiers dead and wounded. Al-Qassam Brigades also announced the targeting of an Israeli military bulldozer and the killing of its driver in the Sheikh Ridwan neighborhood.

On its part, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement's al-Quds Brigades announced shelling a gathering of Israeli occupation forces in the east of Khan Younis axes with rocket barrages and heavy-caliber mortars.

The Resistance group confirmed direct casualties among the targeted Israeli forces, noting that the Israeli helicopters intervened to transport the wounded.
