BREAKING
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.
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.

    The Commission for Martyrs and Prisoners indicated that Abu Hamid's health condition is critical due to his struggle with lung cancer.

Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons launched a hunger strike Monday in protest of the medical negligence of cancer-stricken prisoner Nasser Abu Hamid and in demand of his release.

A demonstration in solidarity with Abu Hamid, who remains in a coma for the 13th day, was organized in Al-Khalil.

The Commission for Martyrs and Prisoners indicated that Abu Hamid's health condition is critical due to his struggle with lung cancer.

Last Thursday, Nasser's mother, Latifa Abu Hamid, launched a hunger strike in decry of her son's imprisonment, drawing the world's attention to the plight of Palestinian prisoners.

Waed Association for Prisoners strongly denounced the policy of “medical negligence to which cancer-stricken Prisoner Nasser Abu Hamid and all the prisoners were subjected”, stressing that Abu Hamid is “subjected to a systematic and deliberate assassination.”

Nasser Abu Hamid, from Al-Amari camp, Ramallah, is one of five brothers who were all sentenced to life by the Israeli authorities. They are Nasr, Nasser, Sharif, and Mohammad, as well as Islam, who was arrested in 2018.

A sixth brother, Abdel Moneim Abu Hamid, is a martyr. Their mother was deprived of visiting them for years, they lost their father during detention, and their family home was demolished five times - the last of which was in 2019.
