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 Popular Mobilization Authority in Iraq announced on Tuesday the arrest of a terrorist affiliated with ISIS following a pursuit operation that extended from the Anbar Governorate to the capital, Baghdad.

In a statement, the authority said, "A specialized team from the Investigations Directorate of the General Directorate of Security and Discipline successfully apprehended the terrorist after conducting meticulous monitoring and tracking of movements from Anbar to Baghdad."

"The operation was carried out after receiving official approval..." emphasizing that "investigations with the detained terrorist are ongoing," the Authority added.

The statement also confirmed that the terrorist was active in the Anbar Province, which has some ISIS presence, and was involved in activating "sleeping cells and carrying out attacks against security forces."

Last year, the Iraqi National Intelligence Agency announced in February that it successfully arrested two of the most prominent leaders of the terrorist organization ISIS, in a top-tier operation conducted outside Iraqi soil, the agency announced.

Iraqi intelligence forces expatriated the terrorists to Iraq after launching an operation to track and arrest the wanted individuals, which lasted for several years.

The terrorists were identified as Issam Ali Saidan, also known as "Abu Zeid", and Bashir Ali Saidan, also known as "Abu Ahmad Etisalat." The Agency confirmed in a statement that the arrested terrorists were responsible for managing communication activities for ISIS in the Iraqi city of Fallujah.

In detail, "Abu Zaid" managed ISIS' media network while "Abu Ahmad Etisalat" was tasked with encrypting and managing communications between the organization's leaders. It is worth noting that the Arabic word "Etisalat" translates to "communications".
