BREAKING
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.

Israeli media reported violent clashes between Israeli occupation police and protesters who demonstrated near the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday evening.

According to the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, clashes erupted between Israeli police and protesters near Netanyahu's private residence in "Caesarea". The report stated that Israeli forces arrested four settlers and broke the nose of one of the protesters.

Shikma Bressler, one of the leaders of the "Black Flags Protests" said, "The police showed extreme violence that we have not witnessed before. Dozens were arbitrarily arrested, and injured individuals were taken to hospitals. It was a dark night for Israel."

הלילה הזה ייזכר לדראון עולם.

הפחד של המשפחה הקיסרית מעוצם המפגינים, האלימות המשטרתית בפיקודו של ממז חוף, והספונטניות שמוציאה אלפי ישראלים ללילה שלם בהגנה על חבריהם, האחווה, המלחמה - כתף אל כתף - על פניה של המדינה.

Bressler stressed that "the government's judicial advisor and the head of the Shin Bet should now declare a clear and immediate threat to democracy and act accordingly."

The Israeli police stated in a statement, "Yesterday evening, an unlawful demonstration started in front of the Prime Minister's residence in Caesarea. Hundreds of protesters arrived at the location, carrying extremely loud sound amplifiers that caused unbearable noise. The protesters violated public order at the location, breached the security areas around the Prime Minister's house, blocked roads, and ignored the police officer's request to stop their actions. Three protesters were arrested for investigation."

חרפה! דיקטטורה משתוללת, משה רדמן, ממובילי המחאה בבית החולים. אייל נווה מראשי ׳אחים לנשק׳ במעצר. עצירים נעלמים לשעות וחוזרים חבולים, עו״ד נחסמים! נתניהו ובן גביר משסים שוטרים באלימות קשה בקיסריה. לא נהיה פולין ולא ארגנטינה. המחאה חייבת להחריף הערב, בקפלן ובכל הארץ. לא תנצחו אותנו! pic.twitter.com/Fnr5ZxDkxc

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak tweeted: "Shame! Rampant dictatorship. Moshe Radman, one of the protest leaders, is in the hospital. Eyal Naveh, one of the 'Brothers in Arms' leaders, is under arrest."

He continued, "Detainees disappear for hours and then return exposed to beating. Lawyers are prevented [from seeing detainees]! Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir incite police officers to extreme violence in Caesarea."

Josh Breiner, a correspondent on Israeli occupation police affairs for Haaretz, tweeted that the Israeli police lost their patience last night.

Breiner pointed out that a regular protest in Caesarea turned into a display of police violence and unjustified arrests, with detainees being distributed among police stations. All this action was for one reason: to please Minister Ben-Gvir and Prime Minister Netanyahu."

The Israeli Democrat TV channel posted a video on Twitter of new protests, stating, "Second wave - protesters are now outside the police station in Gedera, where the last detainee from last night's protest is being held."

Political divisions in "Israel" continue to deepen between the government and the opposition. "Israel" has witnessed several protests by thousands of settlers against the occupation's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government in which demonstrators express their opposition to the judicial reforms it plans to enact. The opposition has demanded the complete cancellation of these amendments despite the government's decision to temporarily suspend them.

The protests, which began in December last year, saw the participation of tens of thousands of settlers and later transformed into massive demonstrations where around a quarter of a million settlers took to the streets against Netanyahu's plans that set to undermine occupation courts and further empower security and military institutions.
