BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Resistance is a source of power for Lebanon that must be preserved.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" must implement the agreement as Lebanon has already done so, and any new accord would amount to absolving it and opening the door to further attacks.
Sheikh Qassem: We do not wish to assume anyone's role; those accusing us of this must cease their accusations.
Sheikh Qassem: We will recover our lands through national solidarity; Resistance's goal is national liberation, while enemy goal is occupation.
Sheikh Qassem: Protection of sovereignty protects Lebanon. It is in real danger because of US belligerence, greedy Israeli expansion.
Qassem to Lebanese people: We are not asking for support but for us not to be stabbed in the back in the back or for some to serve Israeli interests; government is primary party responsible for [preservation of] sovereignty.
Sheikh Qassem: "Israel" can occupy, but it cannot persist in occupation of our land.
Sheikh Qassem: Intimidation will not change our stance of resistance and steadfastness. We are not advocates of surrender or defeat, and we will never accept it.
Sheikh Qassem: Where does US stand regarding enemy's unjustified assassination of a government worker and other civilian martyrs?
Sheikh Qassem: Is the Lebanese Army's defense of its land and citizens an accusation [leveled against it]? Where does US stand regarding the enemy's killing of civilians and constant destruction?

The death toll from the Israeli occupation’s relentless airstrikes on Lebanon has surged to 2,083 martyrs, with at least 9,869 wounded, as Israeli warplanes intensified their bombardment on various regions, including the Southern Suburb of Beirut and Southern Lebanon.
 
Late Monday night, Israeli jets launched 15 airstrikes on Beirut's Dahiyeh area, targeting the Mrayjeh neighborhood near Tahwitat al-Ghadeer, a heavily populated area, causing widespread damage and endangering civilian lives.

The strikes extended to northern Bekaa, where the outskirts of Qsarnaba were also hit.
 
In southern Lebanon, multiple towns were bombarded. Airstrikes hit the outskirts of Sriri and the town of Sejoud in Jezzine district, as well as Kfar Kila near the Lebanese-Palestinian border area.
 
Moreover, in one of the deadliest and most heinous massacres in recent days, an Israeli raid on Baraachit killed 10 firefighters who were responding to earlier strikes in the area, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health. 
 
Similarly, at noon Saturday, an Israeli drone struck an area where Civil Defense and rescue operations attempted to lift the rubble following the intense aggression on Mrayjeh, in Beirut's Southern Suburb, forcing the crews to withdraw from the site immediately, as "Israel" stretches its tactics of obstructing all rescue efforts in Lebanon. 
 
Further strikes targeted Ghassaniyeh and a high-rise residential building in Tyre, where the upper floors were hit, adding to the growing number of casualties.
