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.

A missile was intercepted over Israeli-occupied territories after sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and surrounding areas.

Consequently, Israeli media reported explosion sounds in Tel Aviv, as well as multiple injuries while settlers rushed to shelters.

Initially, the Israeli military command had announced that several missiles were launched from Iranian territory toward the occupied Palestinian lands at around 3:00 am (local time).

Occupation authorities instructed settlers to enter shelters immediately and remain there until further notice. Movement outside these spaces is prohibited unless an explicit directive is issued.

However, Iranian news agencies, including the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), said that the missile was not launched from Iran. The agency explained that the missile was launched from Yemen. 

"Attack Wave 21 was not carried out, and the operation carried out minutes ago was from Yemen against targets in the occupied territories," IRNA revealed.

Overnight, Israeli warplanes launched an aggression on Iran targeting several areas in the capital.

Iranian air defenses were activated over Tehran, as Israeli projectiles targeted the east, west, and north of the capital. This includes Parchin, Shiraz, and Baghestan.

Additionally, the Fars News Agency reported that a woman and her 6-year-old son were killed in an Israeli drone attack on Kermanshah Province.

Iran ready to escalate aerospace operations

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) has reaffirmed its readiness to continue aerospace operations amid ongoing regional tensions, declaring that the Israeli occupation would not experience calm in the wake of its aggression. The statement comes as the country grapples with heightened attacks, including the latest US strike on Iranian soil, which targeted Iranian nuclear facilities.

While acknowledging the sensitive stage Iran is currently navigating, Pakpour emphasized that IRGC aerospace operations remain uninterrupted, adding that “peace has been stripped from the Zionist entity.”

The IRGC commander noted a rising number of applications to join the country’s Basij, which he described as a clear reflection of growing unity among Iranians. “Each time the enemy intensifies its assaults, our cohesion and solidarity strengthen. The unity among our people has become a model worth emulating,” he said.
