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.

Prisoners of "Ofer" prison from all Palestinian factions decided on Sunday to close the prison sections, return meals, and move toward dissolving organizational representation, which would create a state of chaos in the prison and force the Israeli occupation prison administration to deal separately with each prisoner.

In a joint statement, the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPC) pointed out that the step comes in response to the prison administration's decision to isolate the sections and separate them from each other, after transferring prisoners with long-term sentences and leaders of the Captive Movement from "Nafha" prison to new sections in "Ofer".

Earlier on Sunday, the Israeli occupation prison administration began transferring 120 prisoners with long-term sentences and leaders of the Captive Movement from "Nafha" prison to a mass isolation section that it set up specifically for prisoners it classifies as "dangerous" in "Ofer" prison.

The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the PPC indicated that the Israeli step comes within the framework of the ongoing aggression against prisoners, and the prison administration's attempt to harm the organizational structures, as well as striking any state of stability that prisoners are trying to create.

According to the joint statement, the latest transfer targeted the same prisoners who were transferred at the beginning of this year from "Hadarim" Prison to "Nafha" Prison.

It is noteworthy that the "Ofer" Prison is the only Israeli prison established in the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967, and this is the first time since the signing of the Oslo Accords that Palestinian prisoners with long-term and life sentences and leaders of the Captive Movement are detained inside it.
