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 leader of the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badreddine al-Houthi, confirmed on Thursday that the Yemeni Armed Forces launched two hypersonic ballistic missiles on Wednesday: the first was fired after dusk, while the second was launched as Israeli warplanes carried their aggression on Yemen.

In his weekly televised speech, Sayyed al-Houthi announced that one of the missiles was aimed at the Israeli Ministry of Security, timed with the Israeli airstrike on Yemen, causing significant confusion for the occupation forces and disrupting their mission.

In this context, al-Houthi stated that the enemy targeted ports in Hodeidah and two power stations in Sanaa, resulting in the martyrdom of nine civilians. However, hostility against Yemen, according to the leader, will never deter it from supporting the Palestinian people and their fighters in Gaza.

He added that the Israeli aggression on Yemen would not derail the level of escalation throughout the fifth phase of support for Gaza, detailing that since the beginning of the solidarity campaign, the Yemeni Armed Forces had launched 1,147 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones, in addition to targeting 211 enemy-linked ships. They also succeeded in blocking Israeli maritime traffic in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, and the Arabian Sea.

These operations have caused significant economic losses for the occupation, including the disruption and closure of the Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) port, "Israel's" main hub for goods trade to and from the Far East, he explained.

Moreover, the Yemeni leader discussed a joint operation between the Islamic Resistance in Iraq and the Yemeni armed forces to strike the enemy, in continuation of the escalation, confirming that Yemen is not deterred. He emphasized their commitment to continuously enhance the scale and intensity of their operations against the Israeli occupation.

"We will not deviate from our position in supporting the Palestinian people, regardless of the challenges or attacks from the US, Israel, or their allies," the leader affirmed, calling on the Yemeni people to participate in a mass rally on Friday to declare their challenge to the occupation and reaffirm their steadfastness.

Chaos in Gaza

The situation in Jabalia unveils the extent of the calculated, deliberate, and destructive Zionist targeting in the Gaza Strip, the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, stated on the 440th day since the onset of the Israeli genocide. 

Sayyed al-Houthi addressed the ongoing violence in Gaza, slamming the occupation's plots to incite chaos and destruction through the systematic crimes of starvation, the obstruction of humanitarian relief, and the relentless targeting of hospitals. 

In this context, the Yemeni leader recalled the martyrdom of at least 700 aid workers after being intentionally targeted by the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza as part of the ongoing war of starvation they were leading against the people of Palestine. 

Lamenting Arab governments and their indolence regarding solidarity and action for Palestine and Gaza, al-Houthi highlights that silence, inaction, and even collaboration with the Israeli occupation had been the path chosen by these nations, making them the "greatest of nations in failure and abdication of responsibility."

Addressing the Palestinian Authority as well, Sayyed al-Houthi stated that although it is a symbolic authority, it plays a harmful role both to itself and to its people and nation, as has been the case traditionally. "This authority does not provide any protection for the Palestinian people; to the contrary, it commits a grave mistake that borders betrayal," he said.

In contrast, the Ansar Allah leader addressed his brothers in the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, and its military wing, the Ezzeddine al-Qassam Brigades, extending his congratulations and blessings on the anniversary of the start of the jihadist journey.

He spoke about the battlefield in Gaza, where the al-Qassam Brigades inflicted the highest death toll on the criminal occupation forces in the Israeli army since the establishment of the Zionist entity, expressing hope that Hamas would continue its jihadist journey alongside their comrades and brothers across all Palestinian factions.

Syria and 'Israel's' fantasies

Elsewhere throughout his speech, Sayyed al-Houthi addressed the developments in Syria, particularly the Israeli "David's Passage" plot, which constitutes incursions reaching the Euphrates in US-occupied regions.

The occupation's fantasy is to reach the Euphrates and see an unobstructed opening in Syria, the leader further stated, adding that "Israel" seeks such opportunities and considers the occupation of Mount Hermon "a feast" because of its strategic implications, particularly that it overlooks the entire Levant. 

Sayyed al-Houthi highlighted that the occupation refers to its incursion into Syria as "Operation Bashan Arrow", a name that symbolizes an ancient Jewish myth that considers the southern part of Syria and northern Jordan as part of the so-called Jewish kingdom.

Regarding the targeting of Syria's resources, he emphasized that all weapons and strategic capabilities of importance were left unprotected and not considered within the responsibility of the new authority, nor were they treated as spoils of war, expressing regret over their abandonment and destruction, describing it as a "strange and astonishing indifference."

He added that the occupation is violating Syria by land, sea, and air without any deterrent response, sending teams to steal specific documents, equipment, and research. Meanwhile, the United States continues stealing Syrian oil while "Israel" thieves everything in Palestine and now focuses on pure water springs in Syria. 

Among the implications of the violence in Syria, the Yemeni leader emphasized that the Egyptian Army faces the same risk the Syrian Army saw, stressing that Egypt becomes threatened the moment the enemies incite utmost chaos to destroy its military abilities. 

US, 'Israel' work hand-in-hand

Regarding Lebanon, al-Houthi stated that "the enemy continues its attacks on Lebanon despite the ceasefire agreement and Lebanon's compliance with its commitments, but the enemy is known for its treachery."

According to al-Houthi, the occupation's continued crimes against Arab nations are supported and facilitated by the United States, with both being two sides of the same Zionist coin. He explained that the West categorizes all the occupation's crimes against our nations, which violate all international laws and standards, under the guise of "self-defense."

Al-Houthi also addressed the "massive complacency among Muslims and the complicity of some regimes and groups with the Israeli enemy," stressing that "this is one of the main reasons that have encouraged the enemy to target several countries."

Meanwhile, the Islamic Republic of Iran's duties toward the Palestinian cause are being fully fulfilled, making it an incomparable nation amid a sea of indolent regimes.
