Lebanon offensive could last weeks-Israeli general

SAFED, Israel, July 26 (Reuters) Israel's offensive against Lebanese Hizbollah guerrillas could last several more weeks, an Israeli army general said today.

''Given the progress over the last two weeks, I reckon it will continue for several more weeks,'' Major-General Udi Adam, head of the northern command, told reporters. Israel launched its offensive following a deadly Hizbollah border raid on July 12.
