20.03.2025 ⇢ Day Hamas Struck Tel Aviv as Lebanon Faced Multiple Fronts
⌨

The morning began with news of Houthis claiming a missile strike on Ben Gurion Airport that forced Netanyahu to seek shelter. By midday, Hamas fired rockets at Tel Aviv for the first time since the war's resumption, disrupting airport operations. The Lebanese Army closed illegal border crossings in Al-Qaa and Al-Hermel, continuing yesterday's border security operations.

The cabinet approved an appointments mechanism emphasizing competency over sectarian allocation, though consensus on the Central Bank governor remained elusive. Former President Aoun emphasized the diaspora's right to parliamentary representation at a Baabda iftar, where President Joseph Aoun stressed national unity's importance for liberating territory.

Evening brought Israeli airstrikes targeting the Bekaa Valley (Al-Shaara and Shamsatar) and South Lebanon's Al-Tuffah region, marking a significant escalation. Media reports questioned whether Gaza's scenario might repeat in Lebanon, with some outlets suggesting American pressure contains a two-week ultimatum for the Lebanese leadership.
