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 spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmaeil Baghaei, condemned on Thursday the "baseless and unfounded accusations" made by media outlets against Iran regarding its alleged involvement in Syria's internal affairs and the protests that erupted after a sacred site was desecrated.

Baghaei reiterated Iran's consistent stance on Syria, which is to support Syrian territorial integrity, "establish an inclusive political system with the participation of all political parties, respect the rights of minorities, and preserve the sanctity of holy sites."

He stressed the importance of ensuring security for all segments of the Syrian population, "and preventing the escalation of unrest and violence in Syria."

Additionally, Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned the Israeli occupation's strikes on Yemen earlier today,  calling them a "violation" and an "undeniable crime".

"These aggressions are a clear violation of international peace and security and an undeniable crime against the heroic and noble people of Yemen, who have not spared any effort to support the oppressed people of Palestine against the occupation and genocide," Baghaei said.

US-assisted Israeli attack on Yemen hits Sanaa Airport during UN visit

A source told Al Mayadeen on Thursday that the Israeli aggression on Sanaa and Hodeidah targeted civilian facilities and was carried out with the US and UK's coordination and support. 

The source also said that targeting civilian facilities is evidence of the occupation's failure to have a clear target list within the country, stressing that this "will not change the course of the war and will be met with a similar response."

Al Mayadeen's correspondent, in turn, also confirmed that the Israeli occupation's aggression targeted a gathering of travelers, including patients, at the Sanaa International Airport terminal, and also targeted airport control towers.

Significantly, sources told Al Mayadeen, that the Israeli aggression on Sanaa International Airport took place during the presence of two UN personnel in the airport: the WHO's Director and the UN's resident coordinator.

Moreover, the sources reported that the UN airplane's co-captain had been injured and was transported to a hospital after the Israeli aggression on the airport, adding that two other airport employees were also killed as a result of the attack.

The source emphasized that the Israeli entity should "not lie in wait for a response from Sanaa because its military operations will continue."

Al Mayadeen's correspondent then added that the Israeli airstrikes hit Sanaa International Airport in the northern part of the capital, as well as two airstrikes on the Hiziz Central Power Plant south of Sanaa.

The correspondent further noted power outages in parts of Hodeidah Province due to the Israeli attack on the Ras Kathib Central Power Plant in the northern part of the coastal city on the Red Sea in western Yemen.

Additionally, our correspondent underscored that the Israeli occupation's aggression on Hodeidah was executed with the US Navy's participation through their warships.
