BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a source of power for Lebanon that must be preserved.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" must implement the agreement as Lebanon has already done so, and any new accord would amount to absolving it and opening the door to further attacks.
Sheikh Qassem: We do not wish to assume anyone's role; those accusing us of this must cease their accusations.
Sheikh Qassem: We will recover our lands through national solidarity; Resistance's goal is national liberation, while enemy goal is occupation.
Sheikh Qassem: Protection of sovereignty protects Lebanon. It is in real danger because of US belligerence, greedy Israeli expansion.
Qassem to Lebanese people: We are not asking for support but for us not to be stabbed in the back in the back or for some to serve Israeli interests; government is primary party responsible for [preservation of] sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" can occupy, but it cannot persist in occupation of our land.
Sheikh Qassem: Intimidation will not change our stance of resistance and steadfastness. We are not advocates of surrender or defeat, and we will never accept it.
Sheikh Qassem: Where does US stand regarding enemy's unjustified assassination of a government worker and other civilian martyrs?
Sheikh Qassem: Is the Lebanese Army's defense of its land and citizens an accusation [leveled against it]? Where does US stand regarding the enemy's killing of civilians and constant destruction?

The Israeli occupation has bombed at least 4 residences in Rafah, causing more than a million Palestinians to fear a long-threatened ground assault.

Health officials said that one of the bombings killed 11 people from a single household.

Mussa Dhaheer told AFP he awoke to the bomb, kissed his scared daughter, and dashed outside to see the devastation. His father, 75, and mother, 62, were among the fatalities.

"I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say. I can't make sense of what happened. My parents. My father with his displaced friends who came from Gaza City," he expressed, sorrowfully recalling that "they were all together when suddenly they were all gone like dust."

At another bomb site, Jamil Abu Houri said the occupation's increased air attacks were a response to a UN. Security Council resolution last week calling for an immediate ceasefire. 

Abu Houri expressed that "they [Israel] have threatened us with an incursion, and they say that have been given the green light for the Rafah incursion. Where is the Security Council?" he asked.

Following the United States' abstention from the vote, the United Nations Security Council requested an immediate ceasefire between the Israeli occupation forces and the Palestinian Resistance, as well as the immediate and unconditional release of all captives.

Washington has repeatedly opposed the term "ceasefire", and it used its veto authority to defend its ally for its war on Gaza, which has killed over 32,000 Palestinians and injured over 74,694.

'Israel' to invade Rafah with or without US backing: Netanyahu

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed US Secretary of State Antony Blinken during a meeting on Friday that 'Israel' will enter Rafah with or without US help.

According to Netanyahu's office, the prime minister reminded the secretary of state during a Friday meeting that the occupation appreciates US assistance for its war on Gaza. According to a statement from Netanyahu's office, " I told him I hope we do it with US support, but if we have to, we'll do it alone."

As the Israeli genocidal war against the Strip continues, Al Mayadeen's correspondent north of the Strip reported that Israeli warplanes bombarded the Jabaliya refugee camp north of Gaza.

Furthermore, casualties among Palestinian civilians were also reported, as a result of an Israeli airstrike on a house in the al-Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City. Also in the city, the Israeli occupation deliberately targeted a residential house near al-Sousi Mosque in al-Shati refugee camp.

Earlier today, a number of Palestinians were killed, and others were injured, in a series of Israeli airstrikes and artillery bombardments. Additionally, Israeli occupation forces stormed the Nasser Medical Complex west of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. They opened fire on displaced youths, arrested medical staff, and displaced individuals inside and around it, according to eyewitnesses.

Israeli forces had previously raided the Nasser Medical Complex on February 15th, turning it into a military barracks after demolishing the southern wall and entering amid heavy gunfire.

In the early morning hours, a number of Palestinians fell casualties in a series of Israeli airstrikes and artillery bombardments.

US wants war on Gaza to continue, Biden-Netanyahu dispute 'theatrical'

A special interview with Mohammad al-Hindi, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, provides insight into the Palestinian situation and negotiations, along with the repercussions of the UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

Talking to Al Mayadeen, al-Hindi affirmed on Tuesday that, while the resolution reflects the isolation that "Israel" is experiencing worldwide, it will not practically change any of the circumstances.

He pointed out that the United States and the Israeli occupation entity are allies, with their disagreements being tactical rather than strategic. He emphasized that their relationship is broader and more strategic than the relationship between Biden and Netanyahu.

Regarding the recent public disputes between the US and "Israel", he described them as "theatrical", adding that they ultimately benefit Netanyahu, who is trying to portray himself as the only one standing in the face of Biden's administration. Al-Hindi explained that the decisions of international institutions are implemented when they serve US interests, and currently, Washington is not inclined to activate them.

On Washington's role in the war on Gaza, al-Hindi said that the "US is providing the coverup to ensure that the war continues, the Resistance in Palestine is uprooted, and the Resistance movements in the region are weakened."
