Israel to Attack Iran for "At Least Three More Weeks"

According to The Financial News, the State of Israel, which has been attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran together with the United States of America (US) for more than two weeks, has announced that it will continue its operations for at least another three weeks.
Brigadier General Effie Defrin, IDF spokesperson for the Israeli Ground Forces, said in an interview with Cable News Network (CNN) on the 15th local time that "there are thousands of targets we still need to strike." He added, "We plan to continue operations at least until the Jewish holiday of Passover, from April 1 to 9, and additional operations are already prepared for the period after that."
The State of Israel began its attacks on the Islamic Republic of Iran on the 28th of last month. On the first day of the campaign, it eliminated about 40 members of the Iranian leadership, including Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, then Iran’s supreme leader. Since then, Israel has focused on striking Iran’s ballistic missile launchers and air defense network, claiming to have destroyed or disabled about 70% of the roughly 500 ballistic missile launchers Iran possessed.
The State of Israel is now working systematically to destroy the Islamic Republic of Iran’s defense industry. The Israeli military stated that it is targeting all facilities related to the defense sector, including missile and air defense systems and cyber capabilities, and that it has so far attacked around 1,700 Iranian assets.
Israeli military officials argued that the objective of last June’s joint bombing of the Islamic Republic of Iran by the US and Israel, known as the Twelve-Day War, was to block the "existential threat" posed by Iran’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. They now claim that this year’s offensive can go beyond eliminating that existential threat and remove the "strategic threats" that Iran could pose to Israel in the future.
Meanwhile, the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), a US-based Iranian human rights organization, estimated on the 13th that the cumulative war death toll inside the Islamic Republic of Iran since the 28th of last month had reached 2,420 people, including 1,298 civilians and 1,122 soldiers. In addition, the Ministry of Public Health of Lebanon announced on the 14th that clashes between the pro-Iran group Hezbollah and the State of Israel since the start of the war had left 826 people dead in Lebanon alone.
Casualties have also been reported in the US and the State of Israel, which launched the war. As of the 14th, a total of 13 Americans had been killed, while 15 people had died in Israel.
