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.

Civilians gathered from all around Lebanon at the entrances of border villages in the Lebanese South on Sunday morning, in support of those trying to liberate their hometowns where Israeli occupation forces had not withdrawn. 

The public mobilization was called "The Sunday of Return 2", per the revolutionary movement of Lebanese crowds to the southern border, which took place last Sunday. 

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in South Lebanon reported crowds in the village of Deir Mimas, where civilians and residents set up tents in a show of popular resistance against the Israeli occupation. 

Meanwhile, in Yaroun, Israeli occupation soldiers fired at civilians to curb and obstruct their return.

Citizens from Baalbek, eastern Lebanon, headed to the south to back their fellow countrymen as they defied the Israeli occupation's continued occupation of their towns. One resident said, "We came to stand by our people of the South." 

"الإسرائيلي لا يخيفنا! نحن من نجعله خائفًا دائماً!"

This comes as the Israeli occupation forces continue to breach Resolution 1701 and the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, particularly in the frontline villages along the border with occupied Palestine, despite the expiration of the 60-day withdrawal deadline outlined in the agreement.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in southern Lebanon reported on Saturday that invading Israeli units are setting fire to homes on the outskirts of Aitaroun in the Bint Jbeil district, as well as in Rub Thalathin near the occupied Palestinian border.

Our correspondent also stated that an Israeli Quadcopter dropped a bomb on a bulldozer working to retrieve the bodies of martyrs in Central Taybeh, in the Marjayoun district.
