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.

Israeli settlers continue to protest to get their captured family members released as the Israeli occupation kills its own in its indiscriminate bombing campaigns on Gaza.

The families of the Israeli settlers taken captive by the Palestinian Resistance during Operation al-Aqsa Flood underlined during a meeting with the Israeli Knesset committee that the settlers "cannot be left to die once again."

At the start of the discussion in the Knesset, the representatives of the captives' families said there was "no moral explanation for the existence of the state."

"We were abandoned once on that cursed Saturday, and we will not allow them not to be returned," the Israeli Maariv website reported.

There has been no prisoner swap deal thus far as the Israeli occupation forces bomb all walks of life in Gaza, including hospitals, schools, and residential buildings. The indiscriminate bombing has already killed several Israeli captives in Gaza.

Israeli news broadcaster Channel 13 reported on Friday, quoting Israeli officials, that no agreements have been reached yet regarding a potential prisoner exchange, noting that negotiations are ongoing.

The officials confirmed to the broadcaster that "Israel" is interested in a comprehensive deal and is "prepared to pay the price."

Amid the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and the delay in finalizing an exchange deal, the spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, announced the killing of an IOF female soldier and the injury of another soldier due to Israeli bombardment.

Previously, Abu Obeida announced that the Israeli regime refused to negotiate a prisoner deal swap and had thwarted the release of 12 Israeli captives.

Yesterday, the spokesperson for the Al-Quds Brigades, Abu Hamza, announced the readiness of the resistance to release the prisoners Hanna Kastir and Yaghel Ya'qub "for humanitarian and health reasons."

Additionally, Reuters reported that a meeting between Qatari mediators and Hamas officials discussed possible outlines for a deal between the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli occupation. The agency stated that another meeting brought together the head of the Israeli Mossad, the US intelligence director, and the Qatari Prime Minister following the Qatari mediators' meeting with Hamas. However, the agency confirmed that the "results of these talks are unclear."

On the other hand, the White House announced on Thursday the regime's approval of a daily four-hour "pause" in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, starting today. The truce was said to "allow for the potential release of captives."

However, Hamas denied any ceasefire agreement with the regime. The media advisor to the head of the Hamas politburo Taher al-Nounou confirmed that discussions on the ceasefire have been ongoing for several days, and the Israeli occupation is hindering the process, adding that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is refusing any ceasefire because does not want to resolve the issue of Israeli captives held by the Palestinian Resistance in order to prolong the battle.

Yaron Avraham, the political affairs commentator on Channel 12 said that the CIA's involvement in talks regarding a prisoner release deal is "crucial," highlighting several proposals days ago that remained unresolved, while discussions revolve around a specific draft now.

Previously, a confidential source from Al-Mayadeen disclosed a proposed ceasefire, including the release of Israeli non-military female and children prisoners in exchange for the occupation releasing Palestinian female and children prisoners.
