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?

The Pakistani military has confirmed the deaths of four soldiers during a TTP border clash in the North Waziristan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, near the border with Afghanistan. According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the overnight firefight erupted after a local security post was attacked by militants identified as members of Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP), described in the army's statement as “allegedly Indian-backed terrorists.”

During the engagement, six TTP militants were reportedly killed. One of the fallen soldiers was Lieutenant Daniyal Ismail, aged 24 and a resident of District Mardan.

The Pakistani military's assertion that the assailants may have been backed by India marks a significant development in regional security dynamics. While New Delhi has not commented on the latest incident, accusations of Indian involvement in cross-border militancy have surfaced periodically, intensifying mutual distrust.

Rising Pakistan-India tensions after Operation Sindoor

The firefight in North Waziristan comes amid escalating Pakistan-India tensions, particularly following the April 22 attack near Pahalgam that left 26 people dead, including a Nepalese national. The Resistance Front, a group with suspected terrorist affiliations, claimed responsibility. India subsequently accused Pakistan of supporting the attackers, citing alleged ties between Islamabad and "extremist elements".

In retaliation, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, a missile strike campaign aimed at what it termed terrorist infrastructure inside Pakistan. The Indian Defense Ministry maintained that the operation targeted only militant facilities, avoiding Pakistani military positions. However, Pakistani authorities reported that the strikes caused the deaths of at least 31 civilians.

Although both countries agreed to a ceasefire on May 10, accusations of violations persist. On Thursday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that “Operation Sindoor was not over yet,” signaling potential further escalation.
