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.

UN Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix concluded a three-day visit to Lebanon, stressing that Security Council Resolution 1701 remains essential for stability.

In meetings with senior officials, including Speaker Nabih Berri, Prime Minister Najib Mikati, Lebanese army commander General Joseph Aoun, and others, he urged Lebanon and "Israel" to fully meet their obligations under the resolution.

Lacroix visited UNIFIL bases and met with its personnel, including those injured in recent Israeli attacks, and thanked the 50 troop-contributing countries supporting the mission. 

"Peacekeepers from almost 50 troop-contributing countries continue to do their utmost to implement their mandated tasks, in very difficult and challenging conditions," Lacroix stated, adding that "by doing this, they are helping to create and hold the space for a political and diplomatic solution to emerge. We are extremely grateful to them for their dedication and commitment."

He reiterated the UN’s call for a "cessation of hostilities," supporting diplomatic efforts for a resolution and full implementation of 1701.

With impunity, IOF pursue aggression on South, Bekaa, Beirut's suburb

All these talks come amid "Israel's" impunity as it conducts relentless, indiscriminate strikes across Lebanon.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Lebanon’s Bekaa region reported, on Thursday afternoon, that the death toll from an Israeli airstrike north of Baalbek has risen to 8, with 14 others wounded. Additionally, the Israeli occupation also struck the al-Sharawneh neighborhood, north of Baalbek.

In turn, Lebanon’s Public Health Emergency Operations Center confirmed that an Israeli airstrike on the al-Shaab neighborhood in Baalbek killed eight people, including five women, and injured 27 others, noting that the search and rescue teams also retrieved remains found on-site that are still pending identification.
