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 naval infiltration operation into the Israeli occupation's "Zikim" settlement is the most significant since "Black Saturday", Israeli Channel 13 said.

In reference to Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, which was launched on October 7, the Israeli media outlet highlighted the remarkable infiltration operation, which a spokesperson of the Israeli occupation forces said was completed after Resistance fighters moved through a tunnel toward the Gaza Strip's shore from which they then marched toward "Zikim". 

Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades announced that a group of its "frogmen" or combat divers infiltrated the settlement, which is less than 3 km away from the Gaza Strip.

They also confirmed that "armed confrontations are ongoing with occupation army in the area."

Israeli media continued to report ongoing confrontations between the occupation forces and 15 Resistance fighters who crossed to the "Zikim" naval base north of the Gaza Strip.

Settlers also said they received messages from the Brigades ordering them to evacuate the area, saying, "You and your children, leave from here... We do not want to hurt children and women."

The operation came at a time when the Israeli military command had transferred a large section of its forces to supposedly secure Gaza's Envelope in preparation for a ground invasion of the Strip.

It highlights the Resistance's continued proactive approach to the situation and its ability to infiltrate deep into enemy lines through various methods during heightened security measures employed by Israeli occupation forces.

On October 7, a special naval force of al-Qassam Brigades deployed on the shores of "Zikim" via powered inflatable boats, as the Resistance completed a multi-faceted offensive on Israeli military positions all over Gaza's envelope.

The Israeli occupation forces tried to undermine the Resistance's ability to deploy its fighters via the sea, publishing a video that allegedly showed one of its vessels target a vessel moving north from the Gaza Strip.

However, a few days later, the Resistance published its own footage, showing its fighters reaching "Zikim" and taking out multiple Israeli occupation forces as they momentarily captured the Naval base.

Continued infiltration operations shed light on the occupation's military failures encompassing its various divisions. 

Resistance leaders have warned the floundering Israeli occupation forces against invading the Gaza Strip, saying such a scenario would satisfy the wishes of Resistance fighters who will fight until martyrdom or victory.

In a previous address, Abu Hamza, the military spokesperson for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's (PIJ) al-Quds Brigades, told the occupation soldiers and commanders, "Having defeated you in your own entity, what do you think will happen when you come to us?"

"We have prepared men who love death for the sake of God as much as you love life. So, welcome to the gates of hell," he proclaimed.
