The Israel Defense Forces said on the 15th (local time) that they plan to continue a large-scale air campaign for at least the next three weeks to destroy Iran's military infrastructure.
IDF Spokesperson Efi Dofrin said in an interview with CNN that "there are thousands of targets we still need to strike," adding, "we plan to continue operations for at least three weeks through the Jewish holiday of Passover (Apr. 1–9), and additional operations are prepared for after that."
After striking Iran on the 28th of last month, the Israel Defense Forces eliminated about 40 members of Iran's leadership, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei. Following strikes on ballistic missile launchers and air defenses, they are now concentrating firepower on uprooting Iran's defense industry infrastructure.
The Israel Defense Forces said they have hit more than 1,700 military assets inside Iran. These included everything from large defense corporations under the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to small and midsize firms producing key components. Israel assessed that the strikes have effectively deprived Iran of the capability to produce new missiles.
As the war drags on, the human toll is snowballing. According to IDF intelligence, more than 6,000 IRGC members have been killed and about 15,000 have been wounded in this campaign.
