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.

The Somali army carried out an operation in the southern region of the country, killing 23 al Shabaab terrorists on Saturday, according to local reports.

The Ministry of Defense said the three military operations were conducted in Bula-Fuley, situated in the Bay region.

The operations resulted in the complete eradication of three al Shabaab bases, dealing a severe blow to the group's infrastructure. Among the targets were a key checkpoint, an explosives storage facility, and a crucial administrative office utilized by al Shabaab leaders.

"The 23 terrorists, including two commanders, were eliminated," the ministry stated succinctly in a release. This accomplishment not only disrupts the group's chain of command but also significantly weakens its operational capabilities.

This news follows another successful mission in the Hiran region just days prior where Somali security forces cooperated with international partners, to neutralize 25 al Shabaab terrorists in a well-coordinated operation, as confirmed by state media reports on Wednesday.

This series of successful operations has unfolded during a pivotal moment for Somalia's security landscape. The African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) and its collaborative partners are poised to undertake a comprehensive assessment of phase one of ATMIS troop withdrawal, a process that concluded in June.

Since President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's declaration of an all-out war against al Shabaab militants in 2022, the Somali National Army has accumulated multiple offensives against the extremist group. 

The offensives have shown great efficacy with clashes in the Galgadud province in late July resulting in the death of over 100 terrorists inciting senior militants.
