Sheikh Qassem: "Our choice is not to submit to dictates"
Beirut - Saba:
The Secretary-General of Lebanon's Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem, affirmed, "We in Hezbollah support Iran's independent choices, stand against American hegemony and occupation, and oppose Israeli occupation."
He stated, "The choice is to liberate the land, build the nation, and not submit to dictates or surrender to the enemy. We will resist for our country, no matter the sacrifices."
During his speech at the first night of the Ashura mourning councils in Beirut's southern suburbs, Sheikh Qassem said, "Iran has proven that it alone is capable of confronting this global tyranny, alongside the criminal Israeli regime and with significant European support."
He added, "Iran does not receive support from any other countries, nor do other nations fight alongside it. It has no supply lines—it stands alone, relying on the capabilities it has built itself."
Sheikh Qassem pointed out that "Iran has solidified its regional and international position through its convictions and choices, without conceding anything."
He emphasized that "today, Iran is stronger than before the war. It is a supporter of the resistance, an ally to its neighbors and friends, and capable of ensuring collective security for the region's countries without needing America or its allies."
Sheikh Qassem questioned, "Why has this aggression against Iran occurred?" explaining that "the central goal of America and Israel in waging war on Iran was to destroy any independent, influential force supporting resistance and the liberation of Palestine in our region."
He stressed that "Israel is an expansionist entity that will not be satisfied with all of Palestine's lands, nor with occupying the Golan and beyond—it seeks control over the entire region, as proven by events and facts."
Sheikh Qassem affirmed that "Iran has thwarted the three objectives of the aggression: canceling uranium enrichment (which Iran possesses and continues), damaging its missile program (which remains a defensive capability, striking the enemy), and overthrowing its regime (which did not happen)."
He noted that Iran has a courageous leader, a great people, and the Revolutionary Guards and security forces, who have made immense sacrifices.
Sheikh Qassem declared, "This year, we raised the slogan: 'I will never abandon you, O Hussein.' We will not abandon you because you represent truth, your path leads us to God, and we seek to raise our generations in obedience to God."
He added, "You, the people of resistance and honor, have lifted the nation's head high, proving that Hussein lives within us. You will continue the pledge of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah until we achieve all goals—victory or martyrdom—on the path of Imam Hussein (AS)."

Gaza Police: Neutralized & arrested group of criminals who attacked hospital in Khan Younis
Khan Younis - Saba: The Gaza Police Directorate announced on Thursday evening that it had eliminated a group of criminals who attacked Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip, and arrested some of them. In a press statement, the police explained that Nasser Hospital was subjected to a criminal assault by an outlaw group that opposes national unity and collaborates with the Zionist enemy. The police confirmed that this group exploited the conditions resulting from the intense Israeli aggression in Khan Younis, taking advantage of aerial cover from enemy aircraft. They opened fire inside the hospital, vandalized property, and burned several ambulances. Despite the Israeli targeting, a police force confronted these criminals, regained control of the hospital premises, pursued them, and arrested some while neutralizing others. The police affirmed that, despite the brutality of the aggression, they will continue to uphold their duty to maintain civil peace and protect citizens' property and assets. They stressed that this heinous crime is part of the enemy's policy to target Gaza's healthcare system and render it inoperable. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

UN condemns settler attack on Kafr Malik
New York - Saba: The United Nations condemned on Thursday the attack by settlers on the village of Kafr Malik, northeast of Ramallah, which took place yesterday, resulting in the killing of three Palestinian civilians and the injury of seven others. This statement was made by UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric during his daily press briefing. "We condemn the attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians," Dujarric said, noting that "a number of Palestinians were killed and injured as a result of this attack." Dujarric called on Israel, the occupying power, to protect civilians and humanitarian workers, stating, "International law must be respected, and those responsible must be held accountable." In May alone, settlers committed 415 attacks in the West Bank, according to data from the Anti-Wall and Settlement Resistance Authority. Alongside Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, the occupation army and settlers have escalated their assaults in the West Bank, including occupied Quds. Official figures indicate that around 1,000 Palestinians have been killed, nearly 7,000 injured, and more than 17,500 arrested. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

Zionist enemy police arrest protesters demanding ceasefire & prisoner release
Occupied Quds - Saba: On Thursday evening, the Zionist enemy police arrested at least four protesters during a demonstration on "Begin" Road in Jaffa (Tel Aviv), calling for a deal to release Zionist prisoners in Gaza and an end to the ongoing war. According to enemy media sources, three protesters were taken to the "Lev Tel Aviv" police station, while a fourth was transferred to another facility after being detained inside a police vehicle. The newspaper Haaretz reported that the arrests occurred after protesters blocked traffic on "Namir" Road, a vital route leading to Begin Street in the city center. The protest followed a march that started at Rabin Square and headed toward the vicinity of the Israeli army headquarters (the Kirya). The march was led by a group of Israeli soldiers' mothers demanding an end to the war in Gaza and the return of prisoners. Opposition Leader Calls for End to War Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid stated that it is time to end the war in Gaza, urging the leadership to change its failing strategy. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Lapid said, "Tel Aviv has failed in Gaza, and the war has reached a dead end," calling for its conclusion to secure the prisoners' release. "What we are doing now isn't working. The war has reached a deadlock," he added. He continued, "It is time to end the war in Gaza. The leadership must know when to change strategy when it stops succeeding." Lapid further emphasized, "It is not right to leave Israeli soldiers in Gaza as targets for further attacks." Criticism of Netanyahu's Motives The Israeli opposition and prisoners' families accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of prolonging the war to appease the far-right extremists in his government, serving his personal political interests—particularly his grip on power—rather than national priorities.
