伊朗以色列交火！

In the most direct confrontation between Israel and Iran to date, the two regional enemies exchanged fire for hours during a volatile night in the Golan Heights.

以色列和伊朗之间爆发了迄今为止最正面的冲突。这两个地区宿敌于昨晚在戈兰高地交火数小时。

The extended barrage of fire comes amid soaring tensions between Israel and Iran, two rivals battling for regional influence, and less than two days after the United States withdrew from the deal to curb Iran’s nuclear program.

此次交火发生的背景是以色列和伊朗之间的紧张关系持续发酵，这两个宿敌正在争夺地区影响力。不到两天前，美国为遏制伊朗核计划，退出了伊核协议。

Israel said more than 20 rockets were launched by Iranian forces in Syria towards Israeli-claimed territory late Wednesday, often criss-crossing across the clear night skies. A number of those rockets were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome aerial defense system, resulting in bright and sudden explosions.

以色列表示，驻叙利亚伊朗军队周三晚间朝以色列声称享有主权的领土发射了20余枚火箭弹。火箭弹在明朗的夜空回旋。多枚已被以色列防空系统“铁穹”防御系统拦截，导致出现明亮和突然的爆炸。

Iran’s leaders have not yet issued a response to the Israeli accusations or the military strikes, but if confirmed it would be the first time Iranian forces have fired rockets directly at Israeli forces.

伊朗领导人尚未回应以色列指控和军事打击，但是如经证实，这将是伊朗军队首次直接朝以色列军队发射火箭弹。
