Israel Warns Weeks of Fighting Ahead in Mideast War

Israel expects prolonged conflict amid escalating strikes and threats involving Iran and Hezbollah, with over 1,000 dead and energy prices rising above $105 a barrel.

  • On Sunday, Israel warned citizens to expect weeks more fighting, with Brigadier General Effie Defrin saying 'we face more weeks of fighting against Iran and Hezbollah'.
  • Amid tit‑for‑tat rhetoric between Washington and Tehran, drone and missile strikes spread across the region as Iran's parliament speaker warned vital infrastructure would be targeted.
  • Rescuers reported a missile landed about five kilometres from what is widely believed to be the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal, and Iran said the Dimona strike was in retaliation for an attack on Natanz.
  • Markets reacted as North Sea Brent crude rose above $105 a barrel, feeding fears about higher inflation and weaker global growth amid Iran's chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz.
  • On March 2, Hezbollah's rocket fire pulled Lebanon into the wider conflict; Lebanon's health ministry reported 1,029 dead, over one million displaced, and Israeli strikes on bridges called a 'prelude to a ground invasion' by Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.
