‘US is a Puppet Of…’: Hezbollah Boss Thunders at US, Israel | Naim Qassem Refuses to LAY DOWN ARMS

Hezbollah’s new leader Naim Qassem launched a scathing attack on the United States and Israel, declaring that calls for Hezbollah to disarm are part of a Zionist agenda. Accusing the U.S. of acting as a puppet for Israeli interests, Qassem vowed that Hezbollah will not lay down its arms or retreat from southern Lebanon. His defiant remarks come amid growing international and domestic pressure, with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun reaffirming his commitment to disarming all non-state actors. #NaimQassem #Hezbollah #NaimQassemSpeech #HezbollahLeader #SheikhNaimQassem #NaimQassemLive #NaimQassemNews #NaimQassemStatement #HezbollahWeapons #NaimQassemAlert #MiddleEastTensions #USIsraelIran #NaimQassemInterview #HezbollahDeputyChief #NaimQassemHezbollah #USvsHezbollah #IranIsraelConflict #LebanonPolitics #JerusalemPost #HezbollahNews ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.194~

Israel Drone Strike Kills 'Senior' Hezbollah Member in Lebanon | IDF Targets Motorcycle, 4 Injured [Video]

Israel Drone Strike Kills 'Senior' Hezbollah Member in Lebanon | IDF Targets Motorcycle, 4 Injured

A Hezbollah fighter was killed and four others injured in a deadly Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon's Nabatieh province. The IDF targeted a motorcycle in the Bint Jbeil district, reportedly eliminating Haitham Mohammad Idris, a known Hezbollah member. This marks yet another escalation despite a fragile ceasefire in place since November 27. Earlier the same day, Israeli forces also dropped stun grenades and opened fire in Ramieh village. Lebanese officials have condemned the strikes as a “flagrant violation” of the truce, while tensions continue to rise over disputed border areas still occupied by Israeli forces. As ceasefire violations multiply and regional instability grows, the nearly 14-month-long conflict between Israel and Hezbollah shows no sign of slowing. Could this be the beginning of another full-scale war? #Israel #Hezbollah #Lebanon #IDF #DroneStrike #MiddleEastConflict #CeasefireViolation #BreakingNews #Nabatieh #BintJbeil #MilitaryTensions #IDFStrike #Geopolitics #HezbollahNews #MiddleEastTensions

Hamas Winning Gaza: 5 IDF Soldiers Chose To Die Against Al-Qassam | Netanyahu Under Fire [Video]

Hamas Winning Gaza: 5 IDF Soldiers Chose To Die Against Al-Qassam | Netanyahu Under Fire

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are witnessing a disturbing surge in suicides, with five soldiers taking their own lives in just two weeks. This includes a 19-year-old Norwegian immigrant and a Golani Brigade serviceman, both victims of psychological trauma tied to Israel’s prolonged war in Gaza and its broader military campaigns across seven active fronts. In 2024 alone, over 20 IDF suicides have been confirmed, primarily among active-duty reservists recently returned from intense combat. Army officials blame post-traumatic stress and long deployments for the spike. Opposition leaders are calling it a silent crisis, with thousands of soldiers withdrawing from combat roles due to mental breakdowns. Meanwhile, official numbers may underreport the true toll, as additional non-combat veterans’ deaths remain uncounted. With Israel’s military stretched thin across Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, and the West Bank, the cost is not only strategic—but deeply human. #Israel #IDF #GazaWar #SuicideCrisis #CombatTrauma #PTSD #MiddleEastConflict #IsraelNews #SoldierSuicides #ReservistCrisis #MentalHealth #WarOnSevenFronts #Gaza #HamasAttack #WarCasualties #TraumaOfWar #BreakingNews #IsraelPalestine #MilitaryMentalHealth #IDFSuicides ~ED.420~GR.125~HT.96~
