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.

Field sources in the Aleppo countryside told Al Mayadeen that the latest agreement between Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) and the Third Corps does not discuss the latter's withdrawal from HTS-controlled regions. Moreover, Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham is said to be preparing for a large convoy to roam the Aleppo countryside from Afrin, passing through the cities of Al-Bab and Azaz, which the HTS has so far not established control over.

Al Mayadeen sources also noted that the deal has not yet been finalized and that negotiations are still ongoing to reach a new deal that takes all articles into consideration. Meanwhile, the preliminary deal states that all factions are to demobilize, while a ceasefire will be in effect.

Sources also revealed that HTS leader Al-Jolani is out to impose his terms on the agreement, which the Third Corps has yet to agree upon. In fact, the latter still maintains that Al-Jolani's men are to withdraw from areas they gained control of so that matters can go back to their pre-fighting status.

The sources also told Al Mayadeen that the agreement is still fragile, despite Turkey's supervision over matters, because of Al-Jolani's insistence on remaining in control of areas he recently entered, not to mention his desire to establish an entirely new administration for Aleppo's northern countryside in which his HTS would partake and have access to all tolls gained from checkpoints.

Meanwhile, armed groups are mobilizing in the cities of Al-Bab and Azaz to intercept the convoy, with calls over social media being made to prevent it from leaving Afrin.

The infighting between Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham and its allies, on the one hand, and the Third Corps, on the other, has so far resulted in more than 100 deaths and dozens of wounded and captives. 10 civilians were also killed, including four women and two children.

Our correspondent reported that a number of civilians were injured as a result of the infighting.

The Third Corps withdrew the text detailing its deal with Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham from its social media platforms today, signaling a failure between the two in committing to the 10-article agreement to cease confrontations and end the dispute between them.
