❗️Statement by Hamas:
"The Zionist occupation army continues its brutal assault on unarmed civilians—including children, women, and the elderly—in the Gaza Strip, intensifying its bombardment of homes, residential neighborhoods, and shelters across the enclave. The death toll from this ongoing wave of extermination has now exceeded 630 martyrs, amid a total siege and the complete denial of all necessities of life, including food, water, medicine, and fuel.
The crimes committed by the government of the terrorist Netanyahu constitute a blatant and unprecedented violation of international laws, displaying utter disregard for all humanitarian values and conventions established to protect civilians in times of war.
We call on the international community, the United Nations, and its institutions—foremost among them the Security Council—to fully assume their responsibilities regarding the war crimes and acts of genocide taking place in Gaza.
We also renew our appeal to our Arab and Islamic nations—governments, peoples, and organizations—to fulfill their historical responsibility in supporting the Palestinian people, taking urgent action to break the unjust siege on Gaza, and making serious efforts to stop the horrific massacres being committed against them."

❗️Lebanese Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri called on the Lebanese army, judicial and security authorities, as well as the ceasefire monitoring committee, to swiftly uncover the details regarding the rocket fire from south Lebanon.
He stressed that “the first and last beneficiary of dragging Lebanon and the region into the circle of a major explosion is Israel and its security and military apparatus, which has violated Resolution 1701 and the ceasefire provisions more than 1,500 times so far, while Lebanon and its resistance have fully adhered to all aspects of this agreement.”
Berri renewed his call for all Lebanese, especially political forces, to purify political discourse, rally around the state and its constitutional, judicial, military, and security institutions, and be aware of the dangers of creating pretexts for the enemy by inciting divisions.
He warned that such actions open the door for Israel to exploit these divisions to strike Lebanon and undermine its stability.
