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.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported on Friday morning that several members of the Civil Defense team and journalists sustained injuries while covering the Israeli aggression in the al-Mareija area of southern Beirut. 

The head of the Union of Municipalities of the Southern Suburbs of Beirut stated, "Volunteers attempting to clear rubble and debris from the streets in the al-Mareija area sustained injuries due to an airstrike conducted by an Israeli drone."

Additionally, a journalist accompanying the Civil Defense team was injured while reporting on the aftermath of the Israeli aggression that hit the area at midnight.

According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, the Israeli bombardment specifically targeted several residential neighborhoods, unleashing a devastating barrage that reached the al-Mareija area. This relentless assault resulted in widespread destruction and significant damage to numerous residential buildings, as the heavy raids extended from al-Mareija area to Tahwitat al-Ghadeer.

The destruction caused by the raids included an Internal Security Forces police station, the al-Mareija area municipality, Lara Flowers shop, a government building designated for distributing letters, and local football fields, along with residential buildings, commercial stores, and car showrooms.

Our correspondent reports that smoke continues to rise from the suburb, with several targeted buildings still on fire. The attacks struck warehouses filled with highly flammable materials and others stocked with tires, which accounts for the ongoing fires and subsequent explosions that have persisted.
