The world is holding its breath in anticipation of a revenge attack for the deadly attacks on two high-ranking leaders from Hamas and Hezbollah with close ties to Iran. Many fear that a coordinated attack from Iran and its allies will lead to a major war in the Middle East.

But now, sources within the US intelligence services claim that increasingly, it appears that the Lebanese Hezbollah militia is preparing an attack on its own initiative.

The proximity to Israel means that Hezbollah can quickly mobilize its forces and attack its neighboring country – without waiting for Iran.

Hezbollah can act with very short notice, which is not the case with Iran, says a source to CNN.

Iran and Hezbollah are reportedly not entirely in agreement on how a potential attack should be carried out.

The tension between Israel and archenemy Iran has increased after Hamas' political leader Ismail Haniya and Hezbollah's commander Fuad Shukr were killed.

The attack on Haniya occurred when he visited Iran's capital Tehran, which is considered a major prestige loss for the Islamic regime. However, Israel has not taken responsibility for that attack, unlike the "elimination" of Shukr.
