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.

    Settlers storm Al-Aqsa amid occupation military reinforcements.

Israeli occupation police forces stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque Thursday morning and spread throughout the courtyards of the Mosque to secure the path of settlers’ incursions into the mosque.

Up to six settler groups have so far stormed the Al-Aqsa mosque. 

Al Mayadeen correspondent in occupied Al-Quds stated that the occupation police deployed heavily, amid large military reinforcements, in Bab al-Silsila and the Old City.

Our correspondent indicated that the occupation forces closed the Al-Qibli prayer hall after firing rubber bullets and stun grenades at the Palestinians stationed in Al-Aqsa, indicating that the occupation forces had arrested at least one of the Palestinians stationed after attacking him.

Moreover, she added that calls were made at night to mobilize in defense of Al-Aqsa Mosque from the settlers' attacks.

Calls from Zionist groups for a massive storming of AlAqsa Mosque on 5/May to celebrate the so-called independence of the occupation entity Scenes of attacks and arrests will be repeated!Maybe a war on Gaza!Stop the Israeli occupation crimes! #IsraeliTerrorism#AlAqsaUnderAttack https://t.co/jhJGh8UTRf

At 7 AM, the occupation police opened the Mughrabi Gate in front of settlers, who stormed the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque in groups.

The occupation police also banned the entry of young men to Al-Aqsa Mosque through the Majlis Gate and prevented many Palestinians from entering Al-Aqsa after dawn prayers.

Large numbers of young men and people gathered on the premises of Al-Aqsa Mosque in conjunction with the occupation police storming the courtyards of the campus, with the stationed people gathering in the courtyards of the campus en masse in front of the Al-Qibli prayer hall, coinciding with the preparations of the occupation police to secure the settlers’ incursions into Al-Aqsa.

The resumption of settlers' incursions into Al-Aqsa comes after the occupation government suspended the incursions for 14 days during the last ten days of Ramadan and the days of Eid Al-Fitr.

On Wednesday, the Israeli occupation forces cut off the external speaker wires of Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Al-Quds and prevented raising the call to evening prayer.

The recent Israeli provocation comes a few weeks after Palestinians stationed in Al-Aqsa Mosque confronted Israeli settlers and forces' raids of the Mosque during the holy month of Ramadan.
