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 Tunisian Foreign Ministry called on the international community to support its sister country, Syria, "to preserve its sovereignty, the security of its people, its stability, and the unity of its territory." 

In a statement, Tunisia strongly condemned the latest terrorist attacks on north Syria, affirming its full support with Damascus. 

The foreign-backed terrorist resurgence in Syria yielded massive waves of displacement, as civilians tried to flee the fire, most often enduring devastating conditions. 

According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Representative in Syria, Gonzalo Vargas Llosa, the number of Syrians forced to evacuate due to violence in Aleppo and elsewhere is fast increasing, having surpassed 150,000 in less than a week. 

Llosa wrote on X that this number is expected to rise and the "blankets, mattresses and water our partners and us are giving them may relieve their suffering momentarily. But it will not be enough." 

"They also urgently need shelter, basic services, and livelihoods," the commissioner detailed.

The number of Syrians forced to flee because of the fighting in Aleppo and beyond is growing rapidly and has now reached 150,000 in less than a week. And it will unfortunately very likely continue to rise.

Terrorists hold displaced Syrians hostage in al-Safirah, Aleppo

The residents of Nubl and al-Zahraa, located in northwest Aleppo in Syria, have been complaining of hunger and shortages in medicine for days after armed terrorist groups held the communities hostage in  Aleppo's southwestern city of al-Safirah. 

Reportedly, around 2,000 residents crossed a 60-kilometer distance from Nubl and al-Zahraa to reach al-Safirah as part of a longer journey to reach Damascus, Homs, and other safe areas. 

The siege was imposed while civilians were fleeing their cities in northwestern Aleppo toward safer areas in other provinces after the terrorists seized control of Aleppo. 

Video footage of children eating grass and fodder from the ground in al-Safirah due to the lack of food was circulated on social media, while more showed dozens of civilians sitting on the floor of a stone building without blankets, amid the cries of children and weeping of women, with no access to the basic necessities for survival, such as water, food, electricity, and medicine.

In the video, one of the civilians appealed to international organizations and humanitarian associations to assist trapped civilians.

After the terrorists took control of al-Safirah and the road from Aleppo leading to other provinces, they rounded up the civilians and forcibly transported them to an unknown location. More than 2,000 civilians are trapped, facing the threat of dying from hunger and thirst or getting killed by armed groups, unless they are swiftly evacuated by UN and humanitarian organizations.
