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.

  • Israelis clash over religion guidlines in 'culutral war' on Yum KippurIsraeli settlers take down a gender divider made of Israeli flags set up by an orthodox group in defiance of a High Court order at a public prayer service in "Tel Aviv" on Yom Kippur on September 24, 2023 (Social media)

Clashes erupted during Yom Kippur between Israeli settlers advocating for gender segregation and those opposing it, prompting police intervention to quell the fights, as reported by Israeli media on Monday.

Israeli Channel 12 news broadcaster characterized the incident as a "cultural war" within "Israel", highlighting that the dispute over prayer segregation, particularly the separation of women and men during the holiday in Tel Aviv, escalated into confrontations and physical altercations.

"We have witnessed friction, though not as extensive as what occurred yesterday at Dizengoff Square. Nonetheless, we have observed such incidents in Ramat Aviv and other areas. In some instances, people reported clashes with the police."

In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remarked, "On Yom Kippur, the demonstrators engaged in acts of rioting against Jews during their prayers," adding, "It appears that there are no bounds to the hatred emanating from the extreme left."

Responding to Netanyahu's statement, the leader of the Israeli opposition Yair Lapid said, "The protesters were demonstrating in support of Judaism, not against it. The Prime Minister [Netanyahu] should refrain from incitement or division" during this holiday.

It is noteworthy that Israeli President Isaac Herzog previously affirmed that divisions within "Israel" have deepened and become more painful, expressing his concern about the ongoing developments within the Israeli society.
