Military Spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said the operation in Swat and two other northwestern districts were almost over.
During a joint press conference with Federal Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira held on Wednesday, the Military Spokesman said Maulana Fazlullah, a local Taliban leader was injured.
Abbas added that Fazlullah was wounded during an air strike in Swat on Monday, giving no further information about the cleric’s condition.
The army claims that about 1,600 militants have been killed during the operation.
The government has vowed to open up a second front against the militant commander Baitullah Mehsud, who is hiding in the tribal areas along the Afghan border.
The Pakistani officials said that they have discussed the issue of the internally displaced persons during their meeting with the Army Chief Ashfaq Pervaiz (Pervez) Kayani.
The Information Minister said a roadmap for the return of the internally displaced people would be announced within the next few days.
According to the UN and Pakistani officials, more than two million people have been displaced due to the fighting between the alleged Taliban militants and the security forces in northwestern Pakistan.

The video released by military shows that Mehsud had trained several children at training camps in Waziristan and other northwestern region.
A military spokesman accused Mehsud of using children and teenagers for suicide attacks on major cities in Pakistan.
“He has been admitting he holds a training center for young boys, for preparing them for suicide bombing. So he is on record saying all this, accepting these crimes.”
Military officials said some of the children are as young as 11.
Sources said Mehsud had been selling trained children to other Taliban officials for $6,000 to $12,000.
This is while scores of teenagers have been forcibly taken awaud group for suicide training in South Waziristan in recent weeks.
Their parents had demanded release of their sons while Mehsud is reported to have refused to free them.
Mehsud, a warlord in his late 30s, has claimed responsibility for dozens of devastating attacks on both civilians and security forces.
The Pakistani military has mounted an all-out assault on pro-Taliban militants in the Waziristan tribal region along the Afghan border where Tehrik-e-Taliban leader, Baitullah Mehsud, and thousands of his men are hiding in the area.
