21.03.2025 โ‡ข Day Israel Assassinated Hamas Intelligence Chief While Promising to Stay in Lebanon
โŒจEarly reports covered Israel's dismissal of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, creating what media described as a constitutional crisis with warnings of potential civil war. Investigations into former Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh concluded after seven months, with a ruling expected shortly.

By midday, an Israeli official declared they would remain at the five contested points in Lebanon until the Lebanese Army takes full control, rejecting observation-only measures. Finance Minister Mansouri revealed offers from international banks to invest Lebanon's gold reserves.

Prime Minister Salam made two significant statements: banking deposits are "sacred" and must be fully restored, and Hezbollah's weapons issue was settled in the ministerial statement, declaring the "people, army, resistance" slogan as history.

By evening, Israel announced the assassination of Hamas military intelligence chief Osama Tabash in southern Gaza, followed by Israeli airstrikes on Syria's Tadmur Military Airport. Lebanese media mourned the death of journalist Huda Shedid after a long illness.
