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.

Early warning systems were sounded in the settlements of the Gaza envelope, Israeli media said Wednesday, prompting reports that the rockets were fired from Gaza toward occupied Palestine.

According to the Israeli Army Radio, two rockets were fired from Gaza toward the settlements of the Gaza envelope, precisely toward the Eshkol Regional Council.

Israeli media said the missile launches came amid a visit by the Chief of General Staff of the Israeli occupation forces, Herzi Halevi, to the settlements of the Gaza envelope.

Meanwhile, night confusion activities kicked off, and Palestinians detonated sound grenades near Khan Yunis and east of Gaza in solidarity with the people in occupied Al-Quds, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported.

Images were shared on social media showing mass rallies in the Jabaliya camp north of Gaza in solidarity with Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Palestinians stationed in the holy site.

The Israeli occupation since yesterday has been shelled by the resistance in light of its escalation in Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The Israeli occupation forces raided Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Al-Quds and assaulted the Palestinians who are stationed there as part of the religious practice of Itikaf, which is highly prevalent during the holy month of Ramadan.

As a prelude to the raid, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) cut the power off Al-Qibli prayer hall despite hundreds of Palestinians being stationed there.

In light of the raid, Palestinian media said injuries had been recorded in Al-Qibli prayer hall of Al-Aqsa, with there being calls for medics to be sent to the holy site.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that scores of injuries were recorded, with numerous signs of beating and rubber bullet wounds being found on the victims' bodies, outside of Al-Aqsa compound. The emergency service also reported that two injuries were transported to nearby hospitals due to their severity.

Videos shared by worshippers from the mosque show Palestinians being brutally beaten in their place of worship, prompting them to respond to the Israeli occupation using fireworks and stones.

The Palestinian resistance launched two salvoes of rockets toward the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948, with reports saying that several rockets hit Israeli military targets, in an act of retaliation in light of the Israeli acts of aggression.

Al Mayadeen correspondent in Gaza reported later on Wednesday that the Israeli occupation carried out air aggression at dawn targeting several Palestinian Resistance sites.

Explosions were heard in the Israeli settlement of "Sderot" in the Gaza envelope, Israeli media reported.
