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 newspaper Maariv published data collected by the Israeli Lazar Institute for research, showing that 49% of Israelis believe that the “ground entry into the Gaza Strip should be delayed.”

The Institute posed the question: "Do you think that the Israeli army should immediately engage in a large-scale ground operation in the Gaza Strip, or is it correct to wait for the decision?"

According to the data, 49% of Israeli settlers answered that delaying the ground invasion was the proper thing to do, while 29% believed that there was an urgent need to conduct a ground invasion of the Strip. 

The report also revealed that about 22% had no opinion on the matter.

Moreover, the data showed that "there is no difference in the division according to political camps or demographic characteristics," and the survey even suggested that the developments related to the captives in the Gaza Strip, and the release of four captives already, will "bring about a change".

IRGC chief warns 'Israel' of Gaza ground invasion

The Israeli military was forewarned by Major General Hossein Salami, the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), that a ground attack in Gaza would destroy its infantry.

"There is no way for the enemies to win in Palestine and they can do nothing else but aerial bombing. If they do anything on the ground, the Gaza dragon will eat them alive," the IRGC Commander said on Thursday, during a ceremony in Mashhad, stressing that Gaza will be "Israel's graveyard". 

He then warned that the Israelis and their Western supporters would eventually face the anger of Muslims, saying that Western powers are fully assisting the Israeli occupation in carrying out its atrocities in the besieged Gaza Strip.

The head of the IRGC affirmed that the US turned the entire Muslim world against it and that this animosity is growing every day, denouncing Washington's strategy of escalation.

Salami persisted in advising the United States to force the Israeli entity to end its aggression before it is too late.
