周二凌晨,一群人袭击了被占领的约旦河西岸的一个巴勒斯坦村庄,并在袭击中造成三名安全部队成员受伤,此举招致了以色列政府罕见的谴责。
attacked a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank early Tuesday, drawing rare Israeli government condemnation after they injured three members of the security forces.
此次袭击以及周二对另一个西岸村庄的袭击,正值国际社会对定居者暴力行为的批评日益高涨之际。以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在上周向联合国发表讲话时,曾淡化了这些暴力行为。
The raid, along with another attack on a different West Bank village on Tuesday, comes amid mounting international criticism of settler violence, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu downplayed in an address last week to the United Nations. Settlers stormed the village of Jalud in the northern West Bank as the military attempted to accompany a Palestinian family back to their home after they had been displaced by settler attacks two months earlier.
当军方试图护送一个两个月前因定居者袭击而流离失所的巴勒斯坦家庭返回家园时,定居者冲进了位于约旦河西岸北部的贾鲁德村。
The Israeli military said "more than 100 Israeli rioters" were in the area of Jalud overnight and soldiers and border police tried to disperse them.
以色列军方表示,夜间有“超过100名以色列暴徒”出现在贾鲁德地区,士兵和边境警察试图驱散他们。
"As a result of the clashes, three Israel Border Police officers were lightly injured, and a security forces vehicle was damaged," it said in a statement.
军方在一份声明中称:“冲突导致三名以色列边境警察受轻伤,一辆安全部队车辆受损。”警方表示,有一人被捕,两名未成年人被带走接受讯问。
One person was arrested and two minors were taken in for questioning, police said. The military said the settlers had blocked roads, set tyres on fire and thrown rocks at security forces, as well as setting fire to Palestinian buildings and vehicles in the village.
军方称,这些定居者封锁了道路,焚烧轮胎,向安全部队投掷石块,并在村里纵火焚烧了巴勒斯坦人的建筑物和车辆。
It added that the attack had prevented the return of the family, who had been displaced "following several incidents of (Israeli) nationalist crime against them".
军方补充说,这次袭击阻碍了该家庭的返回,该家庭此前“在多次针对他们的(以色列)民族主义犯罪事件后”被迫流离失所。“毫无正当理由”自1967年以来,以色列一直占领着约旦河西岸,并不断加速定居点扩张。约有50万以色列定居者生活在300万巴勒斯坦人中间。内塔尼亚胡谴责了这次袭击,并将责任归咎于“一小群暴徒”。
'No justification' Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967 and has been accelerating settlement expansion. Some 500,000 Israeli settlers live among three million Palestinians. Netanyahu condemned the attack, which he blamed on a "a small group of rioters".
内塔尼亚胡表示,他们的行为“对该社区造成了巨大伤害,并干扰了我们部队执行任务”。
Their actions "cause great harm to that community and interfere with our forces as they carry out their mission", Netanyahu said.
担任主要礼仪性职务的总统艾萨克·赫尔佐格称这次袭击是“道德污点,是对法治以及我们作为一个民族和国家最基本价值观的攻击”。
President Isaac Herzog who holds a largely ceremonial role, called the attack "a moral stain, an assault on the rule of law and our most fundamental values as a people and a nation".
在针对巴勒斯坦受害者的袭击事件中,此类批评十分罕见。根据联合国的数据,今年上半年,定居者针对巴勒斯坦人的袭击(包括殴打、蓄意破坏和纵火)平均每天发生六起。
Such criticism is rare for attacks in which the victims are Palestinian. Settler attacks against Palestinians including beatings, vandalism and arson averaged six a day in the first half of the year, according to the United Nations.
近几周,约旦河西岸也发生了多起针对以色列人的高调袭击事件,其中包括一名定居者遭巴勒斯坦人枪杀。
Recent weeks have also seen high-profile attacks against Israelis in the West Bank, including the shooting death of a settler by a Palestinian.
