A covert war between Israel and Iran has been going on for some time now. The assassinations – allegedly by Israel – of Imad Mughniyah, Hezbollah’s military chief and Iran’s closest ally in the organization, two years ago, and more recently of Mahmoud al-Mahbouh, Hamas’s liaison officer with the Al-Quds force of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, suggest that an unplanned chain of events could trigger a real war.
以色列和伊朗之间的秘密战争已经持续一段时间了。真主党最高军事统帅兼伊朗最亲密的伙伴 伊马德·慕尼耶在两年前被杀 —— 据称元凶是以色列，以及离现在更近的哈马斯在伊朗革命卫队圣城旅的联络官马哈茂德·马赫博被杀，都表明一连串的意外事件也可能引发一场真正的战争。
