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.

The Israeli occupation Air Force carried out air raids on the center of Gaza Strip, Al Mayadeen correspondent reported on Thursday dawn, targeting a Palestinian Resistance site in the Strip.

The Palestinian Resistance initially responded by deploying its air defense systems against the Israeli warplanes violating the Gaza airspace, using SAMs to intercept the hostile aircraft, our correspondent reported.

As the air raids continued, the Palestinian Resistance responded by launching a salvo of missiles toward the illegal Israeli settlements in the Gaza envelope, the correspondent added.

The report came as Israeli media reported that the air raid sirens were sounded in the illegal settlements of the Gaza envelope.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation forces said they bombed Gaza as sirens warning of incoming fire sounded once again in the Gaza envelope.

Far-right Israeli Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for an immediate meeting to determine how should "Tel Aviv" respond, Israeli media reported.

Explosions were heard in northern Gaza, and the Palestinian Resistance assured that this was the sound of the Israeli Iron Dome system attempting to intercept the rockets, Palestinian media reported.

At the same time, the Israeli Jerusalem Post newspaper said Israeli settlers in the "Sderot" settlement "heard a loud explosion shortly after the sirens sounded."

Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that the Israeli occupation renewed hostilities in the West of Gaza, noting that sirens were sounded in the settlement of "Kfar Aza" east of the Strip.

Moreover, Al-Mujahideen Brigades said its air defense forces intercepted the hostile Israeli aircraft violating the airspace of the Gaza Strip using SAMs and anti-aircraft missiles.

The Ezzeddine Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, said the Resistance's air defenses were firing at the Israeli warplanes carrying out raids on the Gaza Strip.

The Resistance intercepted the Israeli aggression and responded by launching rockets toward the Gaza envelope settlements, Al Mayadeen correspondent added.

Hours earlier on Wednesday, Israeli settlers in the Gaza envelope settlements reported hearing at least three explosions, at least one of which was due to the Israeli Iron Dome intercepting a rocket fired from Gaza over the settlement of "Sderot", Israeli media reported.

"A rocket was launched from Gaza toward the city of Sderot, and it was intercepted by the Iron Dome," Israeli media said, citing an IOF spokesperson.

The reports came hours after the Israeli occupation said air raid sirens were sounded in the settlements of "Sderot", "Efim", and "Nir Am".
