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.

This is the most recent Israeli aggression against Syria following last Wednesday's, when a Syrian soldier was martyred and five others were wounded, as a result of an Israeli aggression that targeted military sites in the vicinity of the Syrian capital, Damascus.

At the time, SANA quoted a military source as saying that the defenses responded to the missiles of the aggression carried out by the Israeli occupation in the air, with the aerial attacks launched from the southeast of Lebanon's capital Beirut.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova expressed her country's "deep concern", saying the Israeli airstrikes are a "crude violation of the sovereignty of the Syrian Arab Republic and may trigger a sharper escalation of tension."

On January 31, the Syrian air defense media responded to an Israeli missile aggression from the direction of Rayak, east of Beirut, targeting some points in the vicinity of Damascus, and shot down some of its rockets.
