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.

Protests against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government members renewed Saturday evening, demanding his departure and reaching an urgent prisoner exchange deal with the Palestinian Resistance, as well as holding early elections.

Talks over a ceasefire in Gaza and possible exchange of prisoners between the Palestinian Resistance and "Israel" resumed in Doha this week, with "Israel's" spy chief David Barnea joining Egyptian, Qatari, and US mediators.

Thousands participated in two large demonstrations, the first of which demanded elections and the overthrow of Netanyahu's government on "Kaplan" Street, where some protesters closed off Route 2 in the area.

The second demonstration, near the Israeli Ministry of Security headquarters in "Tel Aviv", called for a swift deal to release Israeli captives held by the Palestinian Resistance in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Clashes erupted between Israeli police and settlers, where police threatened to impose hefty fines on any protesters attempting to block "Ayalon" Street but to no avail.
