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 Israeli occupation's actions in the West Bank are "criminal", UN Special Rapporteur in Occupied Palestinian Territory Francesca Albanese emphasized, highlighting the expanding violence, aggression, and destruction beyond the Gaza Strip to impact all occupied territories.

Albanese, in a post on X, stated that she had warned the UNGA of the widening scope of Israeli aggression in an October report, and stressed that "Israel's" "genocidal intent is evident" through its actions.

"The genocidal intent is evident in the way Israel targets (1) the totality of the Palestinians 'as such'; (2) in the totality of the occupied Palestinian territory (that Israel claims for Jewish exclusive self-determination)," she stated.

Concluding her condemnation, Albanese called for an urgent intervention to put an end to the Israeli aggression. 

Israel's actions in the West Bank are CRIMINAL, as widening the scope of destruction beyond Gaza across all the occupied Palestinian territory (I warned the UNGA this was happening, in my last report of October 2024).
The genocidal intent is evident in the way Israel targets (1)… https://t.co/MmavunAads

On January 29, Israeli Security Minister Israel Katz said that "Israel" has declared war on the West Bank, noting that after the "military operations destroy military infrastructure built in the Palestinians' refugee camps, our forces will remain in the [Jenin] camp." 

The Jenin refugee camp "will not go back to what it once was," he claimed. 

Since then, approximately 15,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced from the camp, with many seeking refuge in nearby villages and towns.

Hospitals in Jenin are also experiencing a severe water shortage after Israeli forces targeted and destroyed water supply lines, leaving 35% of the city’s population without access to water.

The aggression also targets Tulkarm and its camp, while raids continue on Nablus.
