Israel is tense both internally and externally.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had lost confidence in Mr Bar, who has led the Shin Bet since 2021.

Israeli police used water cannons to disperse protesters in Jerusalem on March 20.

Ronen Bar wrote to the Israeli cabinet saying the process of firing him was not in accordance with the rules and was based on unfounded claims. Opposition parties in Israel have protested the government's move and have filed a complaint asking the Israeli Supreme Court to review the decision to remove Bar. News of the incident has sparked a wave of protests against the Israeli government, forcing police to use force to contain the violence.

In addition to dealing with domestic issues, Israel must also defend against attacks from regional rivals. In Gaza, Hamas launched rockets at Israel for the first time since the signing of a ceasefire agreement in January on March 20. The Israeli army intercepted one rocket and the other two fell in an open area. This is seen as Hamas's response after Tel Aviv launched a massive attack on Gaza.

Houthi leader ready to 'escalate with escalation'

In addition, the Israeli military also announced that it had intercepted two missiles launched from Yemen. The Houthi forces on March 20-21 claimed responsibility for two attacks on Israel. The armed group in Yemen, Houthi, announced that it would increase the frequency of attacks on US and Israeli targets.

Following the Houthi missile launch, observers will now be watching Washington’s moves, as US President Donald Trump previously held Iran accountable and faced serious consequences if the Houthis continued to attack. Reuters quoted Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei yesterday (March 21) as saying Tehran did not need proxy forces in the Middle East, stating that the Houthis’ actions were based on the group’s own goals and motives.
