 HEADLINESKremlin warns on US-Israeli strikes near BushehrCivilian deaths blamed on errant artilleryUltra-Orthodox Hashmonaim Brigade debuts in LebanonThe time is now 7:02 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, Russia's Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned that US-Israeli strikes near the Bushehr nuclear power plant are extremely dangerous and could have irreparable consequences. He said such strikes should be channeled into a political and diplomatic settlement, the only way to defuse the tense situation that has developed in the region. He noted that on March 17, Rosatom reported a strike near the territory adjacent to the building of the metrological service at Bushehr, close to the operating power unit; Russia condemned the strike and called for de-escalation around the facility. Meanwhile, the Israeli Air Force is currently conducting a wave of strikes in Tehran and Lebanon.In Regional Impacts, an IDF investigation found that a civilian killed at the northern border was the result of an errant artillery strike conducted at an incorrect angle and in violation of safety protocols, not a Hezbollah attack. The incident occurred yesterday. Separately, a military investigation found that 60-year-old Ofer Moskovitz, killed in Misgav Am, was hit by errant Israeli artillery shelling intended to assist troops operating in southern Lebanon rather than by enemy fire. The shelling was performed at an incorrect angle and involved several procedural errors, with five shells striking the Misgav Am ridge instead of enemy targets.In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, the ultra-Orthodox Hashmonaim Brigade, operating under the IDF's 300th Baram Formation, carried out its first missions in Lebanon over the past week, including targeted raids in southern Lebanon as part of a forward defense effort. Brigade commander Lieutenant Colonel S. said the unit will continue to operate bravely where needed and will train the next generation of ultra-Orthodox commanders to lead the brigade forward. Separately, Iranian proxies are suspected in the firebombing of four Jewish ambulances outside a London synagogue; Israeli Embassy sources told The Telegraph that authorities are treating the arson as a hate crime and are seeking three suspects seen on security cameras. The wave of antisemitic attacks has stretched across Europe and the United States. In southern Lebanon, reports in Hebrew described Israeli forces striking a Litani crossing near the El Kasmiya bridge after it was attacked yesterday twice; the arches reportedly survived. Also, Muhammad Ali Assaf, the commander of the Khiam sector in Hezbollah, has been killed by the IDF in southern Lebanon.In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the arson of ambulances serving the Jewish community, saying there is no place for antisemitism in our society and that it is very important that we all stand together in such a moment. Separately, Jan. 6 protester Jake Lang spent four years in federal custody in Washington, DC, after being charged in connection with the Capitol riot; he renounced his Judaism to court the far right, but the effort has not worked.Thank you for tuning in to this Israel Today: Ongoing War Report update.I'm Noa Levi.
