Israel faces more weeks of fighting against Iran and its proxy Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin says.
“We are expected to face several more weeks of fighting against Iran and Hezbollah,” he says in a press conference.
“With each passing day, we are weakening the terror regime more and more. We will not allow the terror regime and its proxies to pose a threat to the State of Israel,” Defrin adds.
