Israel Airstrike On Gaza 'Kills Five Children'
Palestinian authorities say an overnight airstrike that killed seven civilians was the deadliest single bombing in the last week.
新闻背景:
以色列对加沙实施的“防务之刃”军事行动,以色列军队8日轰炸加沙地带数十处目标,强化打击力度,并且为可能发动地面进攻做准备。巴勒斯坦安全人员同日说,以色列空军对加沙地带的空袭造成23人死亡、90余人受伤。当地医疗人员证实,23名遇难者中包括多名妇女和儿童。
以色列总理内塔尼亚胡表示,以色列当天扩大了对加沙的打击力度,并将继续采取行动保护以色列平民免受哈马斯袭击。而巴勒斯坦总统阿巴斯则谴责以色列的军事行动是对加沙实行“种族灭绝”。
法新社报道,以军发动行动后,哈马斯对耶路撒冷、特拉维夫和以色列北部海滨城市哈代拉发射了远程火箭弹。
Homes are nowhere to hide in Gaza. Israel's message to Hamas is brutal and clear, neither your family nor your children will shield you. Targeting the houses of those it believes that are responsible for rocket fire becomes one of the defying aspect of this confrontation. But it is a devastating approach to take, laying bare the carnage in broad daylight. Human are very angry and the defiance so often keeps the cycle of violence in motion.
Your occupiers will pay a higher price. Resistance will not stay silent. And what the resistance shows today is only part of what it is capable of.
Israel insists it selects its targets with procession, focusing on where militants operate, conceal rocket launching position and tunnel networks. And the country's prime minister has said the attacks will now be stepped up.
We will not stop. They will first receive a heart blow from both the air and the sea.And if a ground invasion is needed, there will be a ground invasion. All options are open.
In Gaza's main hospital, doctors say supplies are already running low, now down to 50% of what they need, a shortage which could soon impact their ability to treat the number of patients they receive.
We hope to stop this attack now, because for long, four days for example, it will be critical.
About a year ago, Hamas built this monument to the M75 rockets, celebrating the fact that it was the one that was able to reach T in Novermber 2012. They say now in the last few days, they have fired more of these, putting many more population centered in Israel under threat.
In the business harbour of T, residents running for shelter as signs bring out. A rare occurance before now, but things appear to be changing.
With longer-range rockets being used, more of Israel is now in the range of Hamas. And rockets aren't the only weapon being deployed. This mission launched from the sea so armed militants attempt to infiltrate Israeli base. Yhey were killed in the process, but the audacity underlines Hamas intent.
Israel's troop built up on the Gaza is now growing. For now, its superior military strength is allowing an arm- length of war, but that could quickly change.
