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.

A reserve first sergeant in the Israeli occupation forces was killed during confrontations in the central Gaza Strip, according to Israeli occupation media, Channel 12.

Reports indicate that the IOF sergeant sustained injuries from an explosive device while participating in operations in the central section of the Palestinian sector, where he was complicit in the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people. The sergeant reportedly succumbed to his injuries later on.

Israeli media also reported that another IOF soldier was seriously injured in the same incident.

With this death, the Israeli occupation army's death toll since October 7 has risen to 701.

The Palestinian Resistance continues to confront the Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip on the 324th day of the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation, causing substantial losses to the invading forces.

On Sunday, Al Mayadeen TV obtained exclusive footage of a joint operation conducted by the al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades and the Al-Ansar Brigades against Israeli positions.

The coordinated attack, utilizing heavy mortar shells, targeted the Israeli command and control base in the Netzarim axis, according to the groups.

Meanwhile, confrontations between Palestinian Resistance fighters and IOF in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood east of Gaza City have intensified and extended to the eastern fronts of Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported, adding that the Resistance has inflicted a large number of casualties among Israeli soldiers.

Intense battles were also heard in the Al-Zana and Abasan al-Jadida areas east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, the correspondent said.

Following reports of an explosion in Tel Aviv and the activation of sirens, the al-Qassam Brigades announced that they had targeted the city with an M90 rocket in response to Israeli massacres against civilians and the deliberate displacement of the Palestinian people.
