BREAKING
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Lebanon: Israeli occupation forces carried out an explosion in the southern border town of Kfar Kila
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.

The Russian ministry of foreign affairs will receive on Thursday the Hamas delegation that arrived in Moscow on Tuesday night, a high-ranking diplomatic source said Wednesday.

When asked if he could confirm information about a Hamas delegation arriving in Moscow, the source told Sputnik, "We will receive them tomorrow at the ministry of foreign affairs."

A Hamas delegation had arrived in Moscow earlier today at the invitation of the Russian foreign ministry. A similar delegation had visited Moscow in December, and they discussed several pivotal issues with Moscow.

The delegation will hold meetings with Russian Foreign Ministry officials, including Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov, to discuss the situation in occupied Al-Quds, the latest developments in occupied Palestine, and Hamas-Russian relations.

The delegation is also set to meet with the head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, and could meet with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Israeli media commented on the prospects of the visit, seeing as the tensions between "Israel" and Russia are growing deeper, with said media speaking of "Israeli discontent" from the delegation's official visit.

The delegation includes high-ranking officials, such as Fathi Hamad and Husam Badran, and the meetings will see them discussing the Israeli assaults on Islamic and Christian sanctities in occupied Al-Quds, Russia's support for Palestinians, and the ties between Hamas and Russia, Israeli media reported.

Israeli-Russian tensions persist

After Moscow on Tuesday accused the Israeli occupation of supporting "the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev," Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova confirmed today that "Israeli" mercenaries are fighting alongside extremist nationalists in Ukraine.

Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid on Monday criticized Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, claiming that the latter made an "unforgivable and outrageous statement as well as a terrible historical error" and summoned Moscow's Ambassador for a "tough talk".

"Lavrov's statements are the climax of the deterioration of the very complex Russian-Israeli relations," Israeli Channel 12 said, stressing that the deterioration has been in effect since the start of the war in Ukraine and peaked when "Tel Aviv" pledged to help Kiev through thousand of helmets and body armor.

Previously, senior Israeli officials, including Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, claimed that Russia "committed war crimes in Ukraine."

Moscow dismissed the Israeli allegations. "The statements of the Israeli foreign minister are regretful. They are a poorly disguised attempt to use the situation regarding Ukraine to divert the attention of the international community from one of the oldest unresolved conflicts, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict," the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
