According to the agency, 'Israeli' warplanes conducted heavy aerial raids on the Ali Al-Taher forests located at the northern edges of Kfartbniyit and Upper Nabatieh. The attacks involved multiple air-to-ground missiles, producing loud explosions that echoed across several southern areas and generated thick clouds of smoke. An 'Israeli' army spokesperson claimed in a statement that the airstrikes targeted both above-ground and underground military infrastructure at a Hezbollah site, allegedly where military activity had been observed in the Talat Al-Shaqif area in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah leader: We'll never surrender weapons
Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem reaffirmed Friday that the group will not surrender its weapons, warning it would fight a 'Karbala-style' battle if necessary. His remarks came a day after meeting with Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. The statement follows the Lebanese government's order for the army to draft a plan to place all weapons under state control by the end of August. Qassem warned that Hezbollah would engage in such a battle 'if necessary' to confront what he described as a project backed by Tel Aviv and Washington. 'No matter the cost, we are confident we will win,' he said. 'This is our land and our homeland. We live together, or Lebanon will have no life,' Qassem added in a televised speech. 'If you stand on the other side and attempt to overthrow us, Lebanon cannot be built without all its components. Either it remains with us together, or it's farewell to the country.' He criticized the government's August 5 decision tasking the army with drafting a plan to disarm Hezbollah and other armed factions, calling it 'a dangerous decision' that 'strips the country of defensive weapons during aggression and makes it easier to kill the resistance.' According to Qassem, the move violates Lebanon's national pact of coexistence and risks plunging the country into a major crisis. 'Do not drag the army into internal strife,' he said, praising the military's record and noting that its leadership 'does not want to take this path.' He held the government 'fully responsible' for any potential civil strife, internal explosion, or destruction in Lebanon, accusing it of abandoning its duty to defend the country and its citizens. 'The government cannot strip the resistance of its legitimacy, nor does it have the right to do so,' he asserted. Lebanese justice minister responds Lebanon's Justice Minister responded, saying that 'threatening to destroy Lebanon to defend one's weapons puts an end to the claim that these weapons are meant to defend the country.' On protests Qassem described the government's decision as 'non-charter,' revealing that Hezbollah and its ally, the Amal Movement, agreed to postpone street protests in hopes of reaching dialogue and amendments before confrontation. He argued the government should first 'assert its authority by expelling the Israeli Occupation' and ensuring that no 'Israeli' weapons are present on Lebanese soil. 'Leave the occupation to us and do not confront it on our behalf,' he said. 'Just as the occupation's wars on Lebanon have failed, this one will fail too.' Government's disarmament plan On August 7, the Lebanese government approved the goals outlined in a US-backed proposal to solidify a ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and 'Israel'. The plan includes 'the gradual elimination of all non-governmental armed groups, including Hezbollah, across all Lebanese territory,' with support for the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and Internal Security Forces (ISF). It also calls for deploying the LAF to border areas and key internal sites, supporting 'Israel's' withdrawal from five positions in southern Lebanon, and resolving border and prisoner issues through diplomacy.

"No one asked Hezbollah to hand weapons to Israeli enemy , but rather to Lebanese Army", says Salam
Nawaf Salam, Lebanon's Prime Minister, strongly rejected claims that there have been calls to hand over Hezbollah's weapons to the Israeli Occupation, describing such allegations as false and misleading. Responding to statements by Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem, who on Friday accused Lebanon's government of 'handing' the country to 'Israel' by pushing for the group's disarmament and warned it would fight to keep its weapons, Salam said Qassem's remarks carried 'a veiled threat of civil war.' He stressed, 'No one in Lebanon today wants civil war, and any threat or hint of it is completely unacceptable.' Salam dismissed accusations that the government is carrying out a US-'Israeli' project as 'baseless,' affirming that 'no party in Lebanon is entitled to carry arms outside the framework of the state.' He added, 'No one asked for Hezbollah to hand its weapons to the Israeli enemy as is being promoted, but rather to the Lebanese Army, whose patriotism we refuse to question.'
