BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Lebanese officials must also prioritize rebuilding the state economically and socially, as well as returning the depositors’ funds.
Sheikh Qassem: The second priority is reconstruction, and I call on the Lebanese government to place this item first on the agenda of its next session.
Sheikh Qassem: Lebanese officials must prioritize ending Israeli aggression, its violations, its occupation, and securing the release of prisoners.
Sheikh Qassem: We are part of the new era and partners in its benefits, and we want those who previously took certain stances for specific reasons to reconsider them in order to build the country.
Sheikh Qassem: We say to the servants of Israel: return to your national sense so that we can work together.
Sheikh Qassem: The servants of "Israel"; their sedition has destroyed Lebanon, and they always act in ways that break those around them and destabilize the country.
Sheikh Qassem: You did not succeed in eliminating us, and you will not succeed. No single component can be isolated, and you will not achieve through pressure what you failed to achieve through war.
Sheikh Qassem: Whoever thinks they can isolate the resistance is delusional.
Sheikh Qassem: The Lebanese state must act more and confront Israeli violations with greater strength.
Sheikh Qassem: Israel is now trying to eliminate the resistance through continued pressure and aggression, but by political means.

The individual kidnapped in the Batroun area of northern Lebanon is identified as Imad Amhaz, a civilian naval officer, the Lebanese Minister of Public Works in the caretaker government, Ali Hamieh, informed Al Mayadeen on Saturday.

Hamieh stated that "the kidnapping of Amhaz took place just 100 meters from his residence," noting that "there are ongoing talks with the Interim Force operating in southern Lebanon (UNIFIL) since they are in charge of monitoring the Lebanese coast."

The Lebanese Minister of Public Works posed a rhetorical question, "If it is proven that the kidnapping was carried out via a sea landing, then where is the enforcement of Resolution 1701?"

He emphasized that UNIFIL's mission is to periodically monitor the Lebanese coast from Naqoura to al-Arida.

Meanwhile, a security source told Al Mayadeen, "The kidnapped individual in Batroun, northern Lebanon, is the captain of a civilian ship, not an officer in the Lebanese army."

The same source explained that "the occupation army carried out a landing operation in Batroun, in northern Lebanon," emphasizing that the kidnapped individual was a civilian naval officer.

Commenting on this serious incident, Hezbollah's Media Relations issued a statement addressing reports from the Al Hadath channel about what it claimed was "news attributed to a source in Hezbollah."

The party clarified that it does not operate through "sources" or any affiliated individuals or sides, who provide information to the news outlet in question and its likes.

Hezbollah emphasized that these channels "are blatantly and hostilely involved in the Zionist propaganda machine against our Resistance and our Lebanese people."
