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?

As 'Israel’s' internal turmoil dominates the news, the occupation's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, aged 73, underwent surgery to have a heart pacemaker implanted at the "Sheba Center of Tel Hashomer Hospital".

"He will remain under medical supervision in the cardiology department," the hospital said in a statement.

Netanyahu had been fitted with a monitoring device a week ago, which signaled the need for a pacemaker to be implanted immediately.

During Netanyahu's surgery and recovery, "Justice" Minister Yariv Levin will serve as acting prime minister, a decision made by ministers over the phone. As a result of the surgery, the Knesset's debate on the coalition's controversial judicial reform bill, scheduled for the following day, will proceed without Netanyahu's presence.

The weekly cabinet meeting and a security meeting with Israeli occupation forces (IOF) Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi will also be postponed.

'Israel' spirals into rampant chaos

This is happening as upheaval and chaos took the Israeli occupation entity by storm. Violent clashes erupted between the opposition and police, as Israeli settlers protest against the government’s judicial reforms. Appeals for civil disobedience and riots have been met with stern warnings from both sides, as political rifts are widening and warning against the outbreak of a “civil war”.

Concurrently, Channel 12 reported, on Saturday, that the IOF is faced with a severe challenge in trying to contain the rising numbers of volunteers who are refraining from service.

The situation has prompted security sources to urge the government to convene a cabinet meeting to discuss the consequences of the service evading volunteers on Israeli security.

Some have gone so far as to describe the matter as a gamble with Israeli stability. Amid these developments, there are growing demands to hold a committee meeting on foreign affairs and security to assess the implications of the ongoing situation.

Israeli media reported on Friday that the Israeli occupation Air Force is in shock, as 1,142 reservists, including 513 pilots, announced their intention to suspend their volunteering if the judicial overhaul was approved.
