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.

Palestinian Resistance fighters continue to confront Israeli occupation forces, defending multiple neighborhoods across the Gaza Strip after 278 days of war on the besieged territory. 

The majority of operations conducted or announced on Wednesday took place in the northern Gaza Strip, in two of Gaza City's neighborhoods: Tal al-Hawa and al-Shujaiya. 

Israeli forces withdraw from al-Shujaiya

Israeli attacks on the two neighborhoods have dragged on for several weeks, however, Israeli occupation forces have announced that they will halt their attack on al-Shujaiya. The announcement coincides with continued attacks conducted by the Resistance, which underlines the Resistance's steadfast presence in the area, as well as its robust operational capabilities. 

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad's (PIJ) al-Quds Brigades said that their fighters fired barrages of mortar shells at Israeli occupation forces positioned on a hilltop in southeastern al-Shujaiya. 

Al-Quds Brigades fighters who returned from the frontlines on Wednesday also reported executing several attacks that included direct confrontations with occupation forces and a sniping operation. 

The Resistance faction revealed that its fighters engaged an Israeli special force positioned in a building in the neighborhood, confirming casualties among occupation troops. 

Al-Quds Brigades fighters also detonated several improvised explosive devices (IEDs), targeting Israeli vehicles, and engaging an Israeli force in a close-quarters battle in the neighborhood. 

A sniper unit also shot an Israeli soldier near the hilltop mentioned earlier.

Rescue helicopters evacuate Israeli casualties from Tal al-Hawa

To the southwest of al-Shujaiya, in Tal al-Hawa, Resistance fighters from multiple factions defended against an ongoing Israeli attack on the neighborhood. 

Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades announced that its fighters executed an ambush in the neighborhood, which dealt casualties among the members of an Israeli infantry force. 

The Resistance faction explained that al-Qassam fighters set off two claymores into an Israeli infantry force as soon as the troops arrived to the point of the ambush. As a result of the attack, Israeli military rescue helicopters landed in the area to transfer the killed and wounded soldiers. 

An al-Qassam sniper also shot an Israeli soldier in the neighborhood. 

Al-Qassam fighters returning from the frontlines on Wednesday said that they targeted three Israeli Merkava tanks using two locally-produced Shawaz explosively formed penetrators (EFPs) and an al-Yassin tandem rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) in Tal al-Hawa. 

Moreover, al-Quds Brigades fighters destroyed three Israeli military vehicles in the neighborhood after detonating a number of IEDs planted in the area at a previous time. 

Al-Quds Brigades mortar units also launched several barrages of mortar rounds at Israeli occupation forces located in several areas across the western Gaza City neighborhood. 

Other Palestinian Resistance factions participated in attacks targeting occupation forces in the neighborhood, including the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DLFP), al-Mujahideen Brigades, and al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine's (PFLP) Abu Ali Moustapha Brigades also confirmed that their mortar firing operations on the Industrial area in Gaza City, saw an Israeli rescue helicopter land in the area to transport Israeli military casualties.
