Immediately after Israel won its War of Independence, it started worrying about what was immediately called “the second round”. That is, rather than a fight which ends with a knock-out or a tie, but anyway with a handshake, it goes on and on for countless rounds. Soon enough it turned out that this analogy is too simplistic, because even between the major rounds of 1956, 67, 73 and 82 there were skirmishes, raids and hostilities. The participants obviously changed, but not the concept. Now called “the campaign between the wars”, with Israel pitted against Palestinian militias, Jihadi groups, Hezbollah and potentially, most explosively against Iran.
