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 United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on Monday that delivering aid to Gaza via land routes was irreplaceable in terms of the volume of assistance required by the 2.2 million population in Gaza. 

The UN organization welcomed "the arrival of the first aid shipment" through the US-built pier off Gaza's coast, but emphasized that land routes "remain the most viable, effective, efficient, and safest means of delivering aid."

Meanwhile, the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza continues for the 227th day, with intense bombing being carried out across the Strip.

Al-Mayadeen's correspondent reported an Israeli massacre killing six family members in an airstrike targeting their home in the Beit Lahia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

Additionally, he said that the occupation's artillery shelled the eastern areas of the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

A child was martyred and two people were wounded in an Israeli drone strike in the Jabalia refugee camp. Additionally, the Israeli military destroyed a residential block in the camp.

The Israeli invasion of eastern Rafah continues for almost two weeks, amid intense Israeli airstrikes and shelling of areas across the city.

Meanwhile, the Rafah and Karam Abu Salem crossings remained closed by the occupation for the 14th consecutive day, prohibiting all entry of aid to Gaza as part of the systemic Israeli starvation policy against the Strip's population.

The UNRWA warned that since May 6, only 69 aid trucks have reached southern Gaza, demanding that the crossings be reopened and safe access to them ensured to avoid the continuation of the catastrophic humanitarian situation.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the occupation is committing a new genocide by closing the crossings, preventing travel, and barring the entry of medical supplies and fuel into the besieged Strip.

The ministry added that "every hour, wounded [Palestinians] die due to the occupation's control over the Rafah crossing and its closure."
