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.

Drones belonging to the US-led international coalition violated nine times closed airspace during Russian-Syrian joint exercises, Rear Adm. Oleg Gurinov, the deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in Syria said on Saturday.

"The Russian side ... draws attention to the continuing occurrence of the coalition’s UAVs in the airspace shut in connection with the joint Russian-Syrian exercises. In the past 24 hours, nine such cases of violation by coalition UAVs were recorded in the closed area. In addition, six non-deconfliction flights by two Typhoon, two Rafale, and two F-16 coalition aircraft were recorded," Gurinov said.

Joint Russian-Syrian air force and air defense exercises began in Syria on July 5 and will last six days. In the course of training, it is planned to work out the issues of joint actions of aviation, air defense, and electronic warfare forces in the repulsion of air strikes.

In addition to pilots, electronic warfare units participate in the exercises, to practice responding to supposed air attacks. It is noteworthy that the joint exercises in Syria will continue until mid-July.

Last week, Gurinov said that drones of the so-called US-led international counterterrorism coalition in Syria violated flight safety rules 315 times during the month of June.

He highlighted that there was no coordination between him and the so-called "international anti-terrorism coalition" led by the United States, and that the Russian side is not responsible for the safety of the uncoordinated flights of the drones.
