Events of the year 2025 in Israel .

The year saw a continuation of the Gaza war and the broader Middle Eastern crisis, including a failed strike on the Hamas leadership in Qatar in September. In Gaza, a truce agreement in January saw the release of 25 living Israeli hostages and a temporary ceasefire until it was broken by Israel in March. ^[1] A Trump-brokered ceasefire agreement went into effect in October and saw the release of the final 20 living hostages as well as all but one hostage bodies. ^[2] A twelve-day war between Iran and Israel broke out in June after Israel launched strikes targeting the Iranian nuclear program and military figures. ^[3] A conflict with the Houthis in Yemen escalated, resulting in strikes that killed several Houthi leaders in August, ^[4] while Israel continued its near-daily attacks in Lebanon as part of its conflict with Hezbollah, despite a ceasefire agreement in November 2024. ^[5]

Within Israel, tensions rose within the Haredi Jewish population over a decision to draft ultra-Orthodox men into the military, with many refusing draft orders. ^[6] Attempts to fire Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar led to his resignation in April, ^[7] while escalated efforts to dismiss Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara were rejected by the Supreme Court. ^[8] A scandal broke out in November after Military Advocate General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi leaked a video showing the abuse of Palestinians at the Sde Teiman detention camp, resulting in her resignation and arrest. ^[9]
