20.03.2025 ⇢ Day Three Fronts Ignited in Unison

⌨The conflict escalated dramatically as Hamas fired rockets at Tel Aviv for the first time in six months, while Houthis launched two missile strikes toward Jerusalem within 24 hours. Both attacks were intercepted.

IDF expanded ground operations into northern Gaza and Rafah simultaneously, dropping leaflets warning of a forthcoming "Trump plan" implementation that would forcibly relocate residents. This came one day after tanks entered the Netzarim corridor.

Released hostage Eli Sharabi testified at the UN Security Council about his 491-day captivity, describing being chained and starved while Hamas fighters "ate like kings" from humanitarian aid.

By evening, despite Attorney General opposition and thousands protesting in Jerusalem, the cabinet voted to dismiss Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar within 30 days. Bar, who refused to attend, sent a scathing letter claiming Netanyahu was obstructing the "Qatargate" investigation involving the Prime Minister's aides.

01:25 (23:25)⇢Cabinet Moves To Terminate Shin Bet Chief

⌨The newspapers report that the government will convene tonight to vote on dismissing Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, with a replacement expected within a month (Haaretz, Israel Hayom, Maariv, Mako, n12, Ynet, i24NEWS, Kipa). This comes despite the Attorney General's opposition, who warns against dismissal "without proper procedure" (Maariv). Meanwhile, Netanyahu's office tweeted that "the left's Deep State uses the justice system to thwart the will of the people," before deleting and moving it to his personal account (Davar). President Herzog responded that "an independent judiciary is an asset and pride of democracy" (Davar). In other news, the "Qatar-gate" investigation continues with two suspects being questioned by police (13tv, Kan).
