黎巴嫩军方与英国军方于周一宣布,从周二起双方将举行为期三周的联合军事演习。此次演习还将有来自法国、意大利及美国等国的军人及代表参与。
Lebanon's army will hold three weeks of exercises with the British military as of Tuesday, both sides said on Monday, with the drills to involve personnel and representatives from countries including France, Italy and the United States.
多年来,英国一直是资金紧张的黎巴嫩军方的重要支持者,提供了数百万美元的援助,包括协助训练黎巴嫩士兵以保卫国家边境安全。
Britain has been a key supporter of the cash-strapped Lebanese army and has provided millions of dollars in assistance over the years, including helping train Lebanese soldiers to secure the country's land borders.
黎巴嫩军方称,“飞马雪松2026”联合演习将于周二启动,旨在“提升各军事单位的能力,加强黎巴嫩军方与友好国家军队之间的协作水平”。演习内容涵盖“侦察训练、突袭行动以及城市地区作战演练”等多项科目。
The Lebanese army said that the joint "Pegasus Cedar 2026" exercise would begin on Tuesday and aimed to "bolster the capabilities of military units and raise the level of coordination between the Lebanese army and friendly armies". It said the exercise would include "training on reconnaissance, raids and combat in built-up areas", among other activities.
英国大使馆发布的声明指出,驻扎在塞浦路斯的英国士兵将“与黎巴嫩空降团的战友们共同参加此次具有里程碑意义的军事演习,旨在深化双边防务合作并提升双方的作战准备能力”。
A British embassy statement said British soldiers based in Cyprus would "join their Lebanese counterparts in the Air Assault Regiment in a landmark military exercise aimed at strengthening bilateral defence ties and enhancing operational readiness".
声明还提到:“美国与意大利的军人也将参与演习,法国、塞浦路斯、卡塔尔及约旦的军方代表则将以观察员身份出席。”
Lebanon security talks in Paris focus on replacing UN mission "Personnel from the armies of the United States and Italy will also take part, with representatives from the armies of France, Cyprus, Qatar, and Jordan joining as observers," it added.
上个月在巴黎举行的会谈中,黎巴嫩总统约瑟夫·奥恩与法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙及约旦国王阿卜杜拉二世就国际社会对黎巴嫩军方的援助事宜进行了讨论。
Last month in Paris, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun met his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron and Jordan's King Abdullah II, and discussed international support for the country's military.
英国大使馆声明补充称,此次为期三周的演习是在2023年9月英黎两国举行的军事训练活动基础上的进一步深化。
The exercise, to be held over three weeks, builds on a previous UK-Lebanon military training exercise held in September 2023, the embassy statement added.
目前,黎巴嫩当局正呼吁国际社会加大对本国军方的支持力度。黎巴嫩军方现有约8万名官兵,但长期面临资源匮乏的困境,对外国援助的依赖程度极高。
Lebanese authorities have called for increased support for the country's under-resourced army, which counts some 80,000 personnel and depends heavily on foreign aid.
根据以色列与黎巴嫩于6月份达成的框架协议,以军面临着巨大挑战:他们必须完成向黎巴嫩南部的部署,同时实现真主党武装解除武装以及以色列军队逐步撤出。
The military faces enormous challenges in completing its deployment to south Lebanon under a framework agreement reached in June between Israel and Lebanon that involves the disarmament of militant group Hezbollah and the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces.
今年3月,真主党向以色列发动袭击,将黎巴嫩拖入了中东战争。以色列随即展开大规模空袭并发动地面进攻。
Hezbollah drew the country into the Middle East war in March by attacking Israel, which responded with massive airstrikes and a ground invasion.
自6月以来暴力事件有所减少,但以色列仍持续发动袭击并实施破坏行动。目前,以军仍占据着沿黎以边境、深入黎巴嫩境内约10公里的自称“安全区”地带。
While violence has dropped since June, Israel still carries out attacks and demolitions, and its troops are occupying a self-declared "security zone" running around 10 kilometres inside Lebanon along the border.
此次冲突发生之前,2023年也曾爆发过一次冲突,并最终演变为次年的全面战争。
The fighting followed another conflict that erupted in 2023 that led to an all-out war the following year.
