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 YAF had warned all companies continuing commercial dealings with the Israeli occupation entity through maritime shipping, underlining that their ships would be directly targeted within the YAF's operational area, regardless of their destination.

YAF spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree also affirmed that the operations of the YAF will continue until the Israeli aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in Gaza is lifted.

Earlier this month, the YAF unveiled the "Palestine" ballistic missile, then the "Toophan-1" unmanned surface vehicle, followed by the "Hatem 2" ballistic missile.

The #Yemeni Armed Forces released footage of the first use of the locally-produced "Palestine" ballistic missile, used to target occupied Umm al-Rashrash, Eilat, on June 3.
