A Lebanese child continues to eat sweets on his balcony during the intense bombing raids by the IOF of southern Lebanon and the western Bekaa today, which included over 100 airstrikes.

Four were wounded in the strikes, including one critical injury.

Al-Manar correspondent Ali Shoeib stated: "By Allah, I witnessed the scene of power with my own eyes today. The airstrikes happened right in front of me in the valley, and thick smoke was rising. As soon as the enemy aircraft left, a large barrage of rockets followed them, and I saw all of them explode in 'Keila' in the occupied Golan. This was repeated more than once, and I couldn’t record it for obvious reasons."

🚨 Missile sirens ring in "Kiryat Shmona" in northeastern occupied Palestine.

🚨 The IOF is carrying out a renewed wave of airstrikes on several areas in southern Lebanon and the western Bekaa.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

"Do not consider those who have been killed in the way of Allah as dead. They are alive with their Lord, receiving provision."

The Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades extend their heartfelt condolences to our brothers in Hezbollah, its Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and the entire brotherly Lebanese people on the martyrdom of:

The great jihadist leader Ibrahim Aqil “Hajj Abdul Qader”

His deputy, Commander Ahmed Wehbe “Hajj Abu Hussein Samir”

And a group of their fighter brothers, as well as on the martyrdom of dozens and the wounding of thousands in the Tuesday and Wednesday massacres committed by the criminal occupation against our brothers in Lebanon.

The Brigades recall the important role of the martyr Hajj Abdul Qader in supporting Palestine, and the invaluable services he provided to the Palestinian resistance factions in Lebanon, in addition to his supervision of the Al-Jalil Liberation Plan, the first Arab project aimed at liberating part of the land of Palestine.

We value our brothers in Lebanon for bearing these costs in defense of Al-Aqsa and in support of the people of Gaza, and for their continued insistence on keeping the support front active until the aggression on Gaza ceases, no matter the sacrifices. We are confident that these strikes will only increase their strength, resilience, and determination to continue the resistance on the path to Al-Quds. We tell them that Palestine will not forget all those who stood by it and supported it during its ordeal against zionist terrorism, and we are confident that this enemy, with its reckless adventures and arrogance in the region, is hastening its own end and expulsion from our land and holy sites.

It is indeed a jihad of victory or martyrdom.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
"And the martyrs with their Lord; they will have their reward and their light."
This is the Truth of Allah Almighty.

Saraya Al-Quds mourns the great leader of Hezbollah, Hajj Ibrahim Aqil, and his fellow leaders and fighters.

With the utmost pride and honor, Saraya Al-Quds, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, mourns to our fighting Palestinian people and to our Arab and Islamic nation the great martyr fighter leader in the Islamic Resistance, Ibrahim Aqil, Hajj Abdul Qader, and his fellow martyrs.

Who ascended in a zionist attack carried out by the zionist enemy’s warplanes targeting the southern suburbs of Beirut on Friday, 20/09/2024, corresponding to 17th of Rabi’ al-Awwal, 1446 AH.

After a journey filled with fighting and resistance, during which he participated as a fighter and leader in establishing Islamic work in Lebanon and leading heroic operations during the confrontation with the zionist enemy’s invasion of Beirut.

He moved on to participate in all of the operations and battles fought by our brothers in Hezbollah since its establishment, becoming one of the pillars of the Islamic resistance in Lebanon, and one of the symbols and leaders of the Axis of Resistance, who had prominent contributions in developing Hezbollah’s capabilities and supporting the Palestinian resistance.

The zionist enemy, by assassinating the great leader "Hajj Ibrahim Aqil" and his fellow leaders and fighters, has committed a foolish crime that will haunt him with curses, drown his arrogance, and break his power.

We in Saraya Al-Quds affirm that the martyrdom of leaders and their advancement in the ranks is proof of the sincerity in the fight and the work, and that the medal of martyrdom that Allah has granted to the martyrs after this long extended journey of fighting against the zionist enemy is Allah’s reward to His loyal and righteous fighting servants.

We in Saraya Al-Quds and the Palestinian resistance pledge to continue on the path of Al-Quds, the "Path of the Martyrs," and to persist in our fight and defense of Palestine and its sanctities until the entire land is liberated from the filth of the usurping zionists.

🚨 The IOF has issued new instructions to settlers living near the border with Lebanon until as far south as Haifa, asking settlers to limit gatherings and ordering them to only hold work and schooling activities in the vicinity of fortified areas.

These instructions come in the wake of intensifying strikes from Lebanon targeting the sites and settlements of the zionist entity across northern occupied Palestine and the occupied Syrian Golan.

Journalist Yousef Fares:

Even in critical and decisive moments, people express their opinions through the culture of social media: "I liked the response" or "I didn't like it."

The resistance in Lebanon and all the capitals of the Axis of Resistance do not act to please or displease you—who are you, anyway?

They act based on interest and wisdom. Anyone following this war from the outside who has never once bothered to protest in front of an "israeli" embassy in their country should bow their head in shame and dirt before deciding what they like or what those who have been sacrificing blood for 11 months should do. Those who treat our war and our blood as if it were a movie where they judge their favorite scene should be ashamed.

Those who have acted, resisted, and shed blood are above any evaluation from you.

As for the people of Gaza, do not blame us—we swim daily in a sea of blood and death, clinging to the slightest chance that could end this nightmare. We amplify every bit of hope, and sometimes it crosses our minds that it would only be fair that humanity burns for the sake of our children's crying eyes, and so we become extreme in everything.

To the great resistance in Lebanon, all respect. "Israel," which once crushed six Arab armies in six days, is now absorbing blows and swallowing one knife after another. The "israelis" may be able to build a narrative of lies, because their greatest strength lies in hiding their weakness. But hiding weakness does not negate its existence—they are weak and haunted by the specter an existential threat. They act based on their obsessions, not their interests, and those driven by their obsessions will ultimately lose, because what drives them is not reason and logic but a deep-seated inferiority complex and the scars they feel every day in their faces.
