JERUSALEM — Israel’s military campaign against Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah group is expected to continue for several more weeks, army spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said on Sunday.Defrin said Israeli forces have used more than 10,000 munitions in operations targeting Iran, adding that the military is preparing for “at least three more weeks” of fighting, with “thousands of targets ahead.”He stressed that the campaign is not bound by a fixed timeline but is focused on achieving its objectives, including significantly weakening Iran’s capabilities.Defrin also claimed that Iran’s government is becoming increasingly destabilized, noting that recent missile strikes on Israeli cities such as Arad and Dimona did not represent a new level of threat.US-Israeli strikes on Iran began on Feb. 28 and have reportedly killed at least 1,300 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran has responded with drone and missile attacks targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq and Gulf countries.Israel has also intensified operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon, carrying out sustained airstrikes and expanding a ground offensive in the country’s south following a cross-border attack on March 2.
