英語(yǔ)新聞丨Israel presses incursion in Gaza

Israeli troops pushed deeper into Gaza on Tuesday, driving tanks and armored bulldozers through the rubble of shattered buildings and hunting for Hamas militants, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu categorically ruled out a cease-fire.

10月31日，在以色列總理本雅明·內(nèi)塔尼亞胡斷然拒絕?；鹬?，以色列軍隊(duì)深入加沙地區(qū)，駕駛坦克和裝甲推土機(jī)穿過(guò)被炸毀的建筑物廢墟，追捕哈馬斯武裝人員。

Israel said its forces attacked Hamas gunmen inside the vast tunnel network beneath Gaza.

以色列方表示，以軍襲擊了加沙地下龐大地道網(wǎng)絡(luò)中的哈馬斯持槍人員。

The tunnels are a key objective for Israel as it expands ground operations inside Gaza to wipe out the Hamas movement. Hamas has so far released four out of the 239 hostages Israel says were captured on Oct 7. Many of the hostages are believed to held in the tunnel network.

隧道是以色列在加沙擴(kuò)大地面行動(dòng)以消滅哈馬斯運(yùn)動(dòng)的一個(gè)關(guān)鍵目標(biāo)。以色列稱，哈馬斯在10月7日挾持了239名人質(zhì)，迄今已釋放了其中4人。

"Over the last day, combined IDF combat forces struck approximately 300 targets, including antitank missile and rocket launch posts below shafts, as well as military compounds inside underground tunnels belonging to Hamas," the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

以色列國(guó)防軍在聲明中說(shuō)：“在過(guò)去24小時(shí)內(nèi)，以色列國(guó)防軍襲擊了約300個(gè)目標(biāo)，其中包括反坦克導(dǎo)彈和火箭發(fā)射陣地，以及哈馬斯的隧道和軍事設(shè)施。

The fighting came after Netanyahu on Monday evening slapped aside a call from 120 countries for a sustained humanitarian truce.

10月30日晚的戰(zhàn)斗發(fā)生前，內(nèi)塔尼亞胡于對(duì) 120個(gè)國(guó)家要求持續(xù)人道主義停戰(zhàn)的呼吁置之不理。

"This will not happen," he told foreign media, vowing Israel would "fight until this battle is won".

他向外國(guó)媒體表示：“這不會(huì)發(fā)生”，并發(fā)誓以色列將“戰(zhàn)斗到這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)斗勝利為止”。

"Calls for a cease-fire are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas," he said.

他說(shuō)：“呼吁?；鹁褪呛粲跻陨邢蚬R斯投降?！?/p>

China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin on Tuesday said the top priority now is the immediate full implementation of the United Nations' resolution as it reflects the strong voice of most countries, and to cease fire, stop violence and prevent the situation in Gaza from further deteriorating so there will not be an even greater humanitarian disaster.

10月30日，中國(guó)外交部發(fā)言人汪文斌表示，當(dāng)務(wù)之急是全面落實(shí)聯(lián)大決議，該決議反映了大多數(shù)國(guó)家的強(qiáng)烈呼聲，停火止暴，避免局勢(shì)進(jìn)一步惡化，防止出現(xiàn)更大的人道主義災(zāi)難。

Every country has the right of self-defense, he said, but it needs to abide by the international law and protect the safety of civilians.

汪文斌指出，各國(guó)都有自衛(wèi)權(quán)，但都應(yīng)遵守國(guó)際法，特別是國(guó)際人道法，保護(hù)平民安全。

Wang said the root cause of the cycle of conflict between Palestine and Israel is the illegal occupation of Palestinian territories and noted that the basic rights of the Palestinian people have not been guaranteed for a long time.

他表示，巴以沖突循環(huán)往復(fù)的根源在于巴勒斯坦領(lǐng)土長(zhǎng)期被非法占領(lǐng)，巴勒斯坦人民獨(dú)立建國(guó)的權(quán)利被長(zhǎng)期忽視，巴勒斯坦民眾的基本權(quán)利長(zhǎng)期沒(méi)有得到根本保障。

"History has proved that violence cannot bring lasting peace and a cycle of violence and revenge only leads to further suffering," he said, adding that China will go ahead with unremitting efforts to promote a comprehensive, just and lasting resolution to the question of Palestine.

汪文斌說(shuō)：“歷史證明，武力無(wú)法帶來(lái)持久和平，以暴易暴只會(huì)陷入冤冤相報(bào)的惡性循環(huán)?！敝蟹綄橥苿?dòng)巴勒斯坦問(wèn)題早日全面公正持久解決不懈努力.

Israel launched the operation on Oct 7 in retribution for Hamas-led raids that killed an estimated 1,400 people, according to Israeli officials.

以色列官方稱，以色列于10月7日針對(duì)哈馬斯的襲擊發(fā)起了反擊，該襲擊造成約1400人死亡。

More than three weeks of massive and sustained Israeli aerial bombardments have been followed by a large-scale ground offensive inside Gaza.

在持續(xù)進(jìn)行了三個(gè)多星期的大規(guī)?？罩修Z炸之后，以色列又在加沙發(fā)動(dòng)了大規(guī)模地面進(jìn)攻。

Global backlash

全球反對(duì)

On Monday, witnesses saw "dozens" of Israeli tanks operating on the southern outskirts of Gaza City.

周一，目擊者看到“數(shù)十輛”以色列坦克在加沙城南郊活動(dòng)。

Israel's military also released images of mechanized units grinding through coastal sands in northern Gaza. They claimed an early victory: The rescue of one missing woman soldier from Hamas captivity.

以色列軍方還公布了機(jī)械化部隊(duì)在加沙北部沿海沙地上行進(jìn)的畫(huà)面。他們宣稱取得了早期勝利：從哈馬斯手中營(yíng)救出一名失蹤女兵。

But the toll from Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza has sparked a global backlash.

但以色列在加沙的轟炸行動(dòng)造成了巨大的傷亡，引發(fā)了全球反對(duì)。

According to Gaza authorities, Israel's operation has killed more than 8,000 people, many of them children.

據(jù)加沙當(dāng)局，以色列的行動(dòng)已造成8000多人死亡，其中有多數(shù)兒童。

Thousands of buildings have been destroyed and the territory's 2.3 million residents have little access to water, food, fuel and other essentials.

數(shù)以千計(jì)的建筑物被摧毀，加沙地區(qū) 230萬(wàn)居民幾乎無(wú)法獲得水、食物、燃料和其他必需品。

Nearly 120 governments voted in favor of a nonbinding UN resolution calling for a sustained truce.

近120個(gè)國(guó)家的政府投票贊成一項(xiàng)無(wú)約束力的聯(lián)合國(guó)決議，呼吁持久停戰(zhàn)。

Gaza is believed to be on the brink of a humanitarian crisis, with very limited access to food and water, no fuel for electricity, and the "total collapse" of the health system.

加沙正處于人道主義危機(jī)的邊緣，食物和水的供應(yīng)非常有限，沒(méi)有燃料供電，醫(yī)療系統(tǒng)“完全崩潰”。

On Monday, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA said the limited number of aid trucks entering Gaza was insufficient to meet the "unprecedented humanitarian needs".

10月30日，聯(lián)合國(guó)近東巴勒斯坦難民救濟(jì)和工程處表示，進(jìn)入加沙的援助卡車數(shù)量有限，不足以滿足“前所未有的人道主義需求”。

"Nearly 70 percent of those reported killed are children and women," said Philippe Lazzarini, who heads UNRWA. "This cannot be 'collateral damage'."

近東救濟(jì)工程處負(fù)責(zé)人菲利普·拉扎里尼表示：“據(jù)報(bào)道，近70%的遇難者是兒童和婦女。他們不應(yīng)該是戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的‘附帶損害’”。

Even Israel's staunchest allies have voiced concern over the dire humanitarian situation inside the territory.

就連以色列最堅(jiān)定的盟友也對(duì)加沙地區(qū)嚴(yán)峻的人道主義局勢(shì)表示擔(dān)憂。

In Washington, the National Security Council's spokesman John Kirby said "pauses" to allow aid into Gaza should be considered.

在華盛頓，美國(guó)國(guó)家安全委員會(huì)發(fā)言人約翰·柯比說(shuō)，應(yīng)該考慮“暫停”允許援助進(jìn)入加沙。

Israel said it is inspecting cargo to make sure weapons are not being smuggled in, and is monitoring to guarantee supplies are not seized by Hamas.

以色列表示，他們正在檢查入境加沙的貨物，確保沒(méi)有武器走私，且正在進(jìn)行監(jiān)控，確保物資不被哈馬斯奪走。

In Israel, citizens are still trying to comprehend the events of Oct 7.

在以色列，人們?nèi)栽谠噲D理解10月7日事件。

Very little is known about the fate of the more than 230 hostages — aged between a few months and over 80 years old.

對(duì)于230多名人質(zhì)（年齡從幾個(gè)月到80多歲不等）的命運(yùn)，人們知之甚少。

Hamas on Monday released a video of what it claimed were three women hostages, seated against a tile wall.

哈馬斯周一發(fā)布了一段視頻，其中有三名女性人質(zhì)坐在瓷磚墻邊。

One of the women called on Israel to agree to Hamas' demand to exchange hostages for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.

其中一位認(rèn)知呼吁以色列同意哈馬斯的要求，用人質(zhì)交換以色列關(guān)押的巴勒斯坦囚犯。

The time and place of the recording could not be verified.

錄像的時(shí)間和地點(diǎn)無(wú)法確認(rèn)。

Netanyahu decried the clip as "cruel psychological propaganda".

內(nèi)塔尼亞胡對(duì)此表示強(qiáng)烈譴責(zé)。
