BREAKING
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.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: The role of the resistance now is greater and more intense, and "Israel" will not be able to maintain a foothold in Lebanon.
Sheikh Naim Qassem: "Israel" may occupy, kill, and destroy, but we will confront it so that it does not settle, and this is within our ability.
Sheikh Qassem: The army must be armed and entrusted with [protecting the homeland], with resistance serving as a supportive force.
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a reaction to aggression; it confronts it and obstructs its goals.

Hezbollah's Executive Council chief Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, delivered Wednesday a speech during a funeral procession commemorating the martyrs who ascended during Tuesday's Israeli attack that blew up thousands of pagers across Lebanon.

"Resistance will never weaken," Sayyed Safieddine asserted, highlighting that the Israeli occupation remains oblivious to the true essence of the Resistance and its culture of sacrifice. He vowed that those injured would return to the frontlines, determined to continue the struggle in the face of their enemies.

Addressing the Israeli aggressors, he said, "If your goal is to halt our fight, know that it will only grow stronger and more resolute." Safieddine reaffirmed that the resistance was capable of withstanding pressures and inflicting defeats upon its adversaries.

Addressing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Sayyed Safieddine said: The Resistance remains unscathed and prepared for a renewed confrontation. "We will enter a new phase of struggle until they understand that we do not waver," he warned.

"This aggression will certainly have its own specific punishment, and that reckoning is inevitable," Sayyed Safieddine concluded.

Twelve people were martyred and at least 2,800 others were injured on Tuesday after pagers simultaneously went off and then detonated across the country.

The New York Times, citing US and other officials briefed on the attack, reported that "Israel" planted explosive material in a recent batch of Taiwanese-brand pagers imported to Lebanon, carrying out an operation against Hezbollah.

Pagers ordered by Hezbollah from Gold Apollo were tampered with before arriving in the county, some officials stated. Most pagers were the AR924 models, but the shipment also included three other models from the company, according to NYT.

Taiwanese manufacturer Gold Apollo said the pagers were produced and developed by a European company, CEO Hsu Chin-Kuang said on Wednesday.

"The pagers were both developed and produced abroad, so they have nothing to do with Taiwan," the director was quoted as saying by Taiwanese news portal CTWANT.
