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.

Nine Israeli occupation soldiers were injured in a Gaza blast as "Israel" expands military operations amid growing domestic and international criticism.

Israeli media reported on Saturday that nine Israeli occupation reserve soldiers sustained minor injuries overnight due to an explosive device detonation in the Shuja’iya area in northern Gaza, during a military sweep operation.

Among the injured, according to the reports, were two senior officers, the deputy commander of Division 252 and the commander of Battalion 6310.

The explosion comes just a day after the Israeli occupation military announced the killing of two soldiers and the wounding of four others in combat in the southern Gaza Strip. One of the wounded soldiers was reported to be in critical condition.

The military named one of the slain as Isai Alekem Orbach, who died in the first incident, while the critically wounded soldier belonged to the 605th Engineering Battalion under the so-called Barak Division.

The escalation follows a Thursday statement by the al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, which claimed responsibility for targeting a 12-member Israeli engineering unit preparing to detonate a home near the Fida’i junction in the al-Tannour neighborhood east of Rafah, southern Gaza.

Israeli newspaper Haaretz condemned on Friday the ongoing "Gideon's Chariots" operation in Gaza, calling it a doomed and misguided military campaign lacking both domestic and international legitimacy.

The operation, according to the paper, is built on political illusions and military objectives that are neither clear nor achievable.

Military correspondent Yaniv Kubovich reported that newly issued operational directives to Israeli army commanders ranked captive recovery at the bottom of mission priorities, which reinforces longstanding concerns that the war’s publicly stated objective, the return of captives, was never taken seriously by either the government or military leadership.

Kubovich noted that the internal list of objectives undermines recent statements by Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir and military spokesperson Avi Dovrin, who publicly emphasized that freeing captives was the army’s primary mission.

Civilian casualties rise amid Gaza escalation

Haaretz emphasized that any realistic path to their release would require direct negotiations with Hamas, a route the current military campaign not only avoids but actively sabotages.

Even before the launch of the "Gideon's Chariots" operation, Israeli forces had intensified strikes across the Gaza Strip, killing at least 107 people in recent days, among them 32 displaced civilians who had been sheltering in a school in al-Bureij, nine of them children.

The editorial exposed the disturbing irony in Israeli soldiers urging residents to evacuate a mosque while simultaneously carrying out an airstrike on a nearby makeshift school shelter. This contradiction, Haaretz noted, reflects a broader strategy of displacement and destruction that undermines any claim of a humanitarian approach.

The newspaper concluded that "Israel’s" war on Gaza is operating without moral or legal constraints and is achieving no credible military objectives. It urged both the government and the military to end the campaign immediately and pursue negotiations that prioritize the lives of the remaining captives and the civilian population suffering under continued bombardment.
