The time is now 10:01 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.

In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Hezbollah is confident that Iran will insist on Lebanon being included in a deal with the United States, a leading Hezbollah politician said on Friday, as hopes grew for an agreement between Tehran and Washington. Hezbollah, a terrorist group founded by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in 1982, entered the regional conflict in support of Tehran on March 2, opening fire at Israel and prompting an Israeli response. Iranian officials have repeatedly insisted on an end to fighting in Lebanon as part of any wider agreement. "If the agreement happens, we have complete confidence in the Islamic Republic ... we have confidence that it will insist on any agreement including the file of Lebanon," Hassan Fadlallah, a Hezbollah politician, said in an excerpt of a speech broadcast by the terrorist group's al-Manar TV. A Western source said a memorandum between the United States and Iran to halt the war in the Gulf could be signed as soon as Sunday, with language still being finalized and Iran sticking to its position that the deal must also end fighting in Lebanon.

In the US Policy Concerning Israel, President Donald J. Trump has posted to Truth Social refuting reporting from Iranian state media on the terms of the potential agreement between the US and Iran saying that the terms leaked by Iran "bears no relation to the truth", adding that the Iranians have agreed to the deal in writing. President Trump also denounced the Iranian drone attack on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz last night adding "They better get their act together, and FAST!"

In Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Hate, a massive fire destroyed the warehouse of Jewish-owned events business SVS Productions in North West London on Oxgate Lane, Brent, not far from Golders Green. The London Fire Brigade said 25 fire engines and around 150 firefighters were called to tackle the blaze. The fire was located in a two-floor warehouse in a business park and, at its peak, much of the structure and its roof were alight. Firefighters will remain on scene throughout the day to fully extinguish the blaze. The fire is not being treated as suspicious, but is being investigated by the Brigade's Fire Investigation Team. SVS owner Uzziel Sassoon said the warehouse has been "completely destroyed." The Telegraph reported that SVS could have lost up to £3m worth of equipment. The incident comes in the wake of multiple antisemitic arson attacks in North West London.
