Commanders' refusals of disarmament run alongside the joint deadline

WHAT HAPPENED

At 16:33 on 29 July, Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi (Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada — affiliated) posted video captioned with the words of "Hajj Abu Fadak": "who takes our weapons, man?" (منو يأخذ سلاحنا يا زلمة). Two minutes earlier, Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official) published video captioned "by God, my martyred sayyid, we are as you said the sons of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas — we will not leave a single American soldier in the country" (لن نبقي جنديًا أمريكيًا في البلاد). Both posts appeared within the hour after the joint statement issued in the name of Islamic Resistance in Iraq set its 23 Safar deadline for the government bodies demanding disarmament. Visual review of both clips could not identify the speakers or locations, so the attributions rest on the channels' captions.
