本周正值哈马斯恐怖分子对以色列发动袭击三周年。自那以后，中东地区局势发生巨变：以色列对加沙地带实施了毁灭性打击，并打击了该地区所有支持哈马斯及相关组织的势力。
This week marked the third anniversary of the murderous attack by Hamas terrorists against Israel. Since then, the Middle East has been reordered, with Israel devastating the Gaza Strip and taking on supporters of Hamas and like-minded groups throughout the region.
虽然这些军事行动成效显著，但也导致以色列陷入现代史上前所未有的孤立境地。
While brutally effective, that effort has also isolated Israel like perhaps no other time in its modern history.
在这场悲剧中并无真正的赢家，只有少数外围势力或许从中获得了些许利益。
There have been no winners among the moving forces of this tragedy although some actors on the periphery of the fight may have benefited.
2023年10月7日，哈马斯对以色列发动了骇人听闻的袭击：约5000枚火箭弹从加沙地带射向以色列，约6000名巴勒斯坦武装分子潜入境内，袭击了音乐节等平民聚集场所，杀害无辜民众并劫持人质。
On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas unleashed a horrific attack on Israel. As some 5,000 rockets were fired from Palestinian territory in the Gaza Strip, around 6,000 Palestinian militants infiltrated Israel, attacking soft targets, such as a music festival, murdering innocent civilians and seizing hostages.
据以色列政府统计，此次袭击共造成1200人死亡，251人被劫持。
The Israeli government claims that 1,200 people were killed and 251 people taken.
