JERUSALEM, March 22 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli military said on Sunday that fighting against Iran and Hezbollah was expected to last "weeks," as the war entered its 23rd day.
"Weeks of fighting against Iran and Hezbollah are expected," military spokesperson Effie Defrin said in a press briefing.
"The air force is operating relentlessly," Defrin said, adding that since the start of the joint campaign with the United States on Feb. 28, Israel had dropped more than 10,000 munitions on "thousands of targets" across Iran.
"We continue attacking all of the regime's systems, infrastructure and commanders," he said.
Seperately, Defrin said the military was investigating whether a projectile that killed an Israeli man near the Israel-Lebanon border may have been caused by Israeli artillery fire.
Israel had initially blamed Hezbollah for the strike, which set two vehicles ablaze. Defrin added that the circumstances of the incident remained under investigation. ■
