JERUSALEM, March 28 (Xinhua) -- Israel Defense Forces Spokesperson Effie Defrin on Saturday said in a live broadcast update that within a few days, the Israeli military will complete the strikes on all vital components of Iran's military industry.

"This means that we will destroy most of Iran's military production capabilities, and it will take the Iranian regime a long time to restore them," Defrin added.

"We continue to act according to a plan, with a systematic and extensive attack that is prepared in advance and constantly adapted to the situation," he noted. "We have an opportunity to fundamentally change the situation."

Regarding the missile launched from Yemen at Israel on Saturday morning, the first since the start of the U.S.-Israel attack on Iran, Defrin said that Israel was prepared for a multi-front war, including the Houthis, and warned that "anyone who tries to harm Israeli citizens will pay a price for it."

Regarding the Lebanese front, Defrin noted that the Israeli army has so far killed more than 850 Hezbollah militants and that it is deepening control in southern Lebanon to prevent direct fire on northern Israeli settlements.
