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.

Palestinian Resistance factions emphasized the importance of containing the recent events in Jenin and its refugee camp, in northern the West Bank, in a manner that preserves Palestinian blood and protects the Resistance.

In a joint statement, Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine expressed deep concern over the escalating security campaign being carried out by Palestinian Authority security forces in Jenin and its camp.

The factions stressed their commitment to containing the situation and preventing its escalation, prioritizing the preservation of Palestinian blood, which they described as a "red line".

They called for maintaining Palestinian unity and preventing any internal divisions, stressing that this is a national duty and a heavy responsibility for everyone.

The factions clarified that the Resistance's weapons, held by all factions, are for confronting the ongoing genocidal assault on Gaza and for repelling the repeated Israeli incursions and settler attacks in the West Bank.

They reaffirmed that the Resistance's arms are legitimate and sacred, urging Palestinian security forces and the PA leadership to refrain from any actions that could threaten Palestinian unity or undermine civil peace.

Hamas: West Bank Resistance will not stop despite crackdown

Days earlier, Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi declared that the Israeli occupation will not be able to bring safety to its troops and settlers in the West Bank no matter how many strict security measures it takes.

Mardawi stressed that the Palestinian people are committed to resistance and steadfastness, "no matter the sacrifices it costs," emphasizing that the Resistance operations in the West Bank "will not stop despite the occupation's aggression and the pursuit of the resistance fighters and our people by the security forces of the Authority."

He also denounced the behavior of the PA's security forces in Jenin, noting that "it comes at a suspicious time, and at a time when the occupation government is seeking to annex the West Bank and expel the Palestinians."

The Hamas leader called on the Palestinian Authority to immediately stop this "unpatriotic" behavior, which serves the occupation, calling for "working to strengthen the national situation, not to eliminate the resistance fighters in the West Bank."

Mardawi pointed out that what the PA security services are doing in Jenin is "an attempt to end the state of resistance, through the liquidation and assassination of the resistance fighters who are confronting the occupation."

He called on all Palestinians and Palestinian factions to take a strong stance and pressure the Authority to stop its operations.
