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.

"As we know from Ukrainian officials, the targets of HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) are agreed by Washington so it makes the US directly complicit. US taxpayers should be aware of how their money is used," Polyansky said.

According to the Russian MoD, the Ukrainian armed forces deliberately attacked a hospital in Novoaidar on Saturday morning using rocket-propelled rounds from a US-made HIMARS multiple-launch rocket system.  24 people were injured following the attack in addition to 14 patients and medical staff also perished. The Russian Defense Ministry noted that the Novoaidar hospital has been providing medical care to local residents and service members for many months. This healthcare was being provided by both civilian and military health personnel.

It is also worth noting that Rheinmetall, the german arms manufacturer, is in talks with Lockheed Martin, the HIMARS-manufacturing company based in the US, to boost production to meet increasing demands for weapons by the West in face of what they see as a heightened threat from Moscow.
