根据美国国务院官员和另一位知情人士的消息，国务卿马尔科·卢比奥敦促黎巴嫩总统约瑟夫·奥恩不要将一辆装满炸药的卡车归还给真主党，该卡车几天前曾试图被走私进贝鲁特。
Secretary of State Marco Rubio pressed Lebanon President Joseph Aoun not to return to Hezbollah a truck full of explosives it attempted to smuggle into Beirut several days ago, according to a State Department official and another source with knowledge of the call. Why it matters:
为何重要：此事是检验黎巴嫩政府是否有决心抵抗真主党、执行其将武器置于国家安全部队控制之外政策的试金石。
The issue is a test case for the Lebanese government's resolve to stand up to Hezbollah and implement its policy of keeping weapons outside the control of state security forces.
新闻背景：上周，黎巴嫩安全部队在位于连接贝卡谷地与贝鲁特的高速公路上的一个检查站拦截了该卡车。
Driving the news: Lebanese security forces intercepted the truck last week at a checkpoint on the highway connecting the Bekaa Valley to Beirut.
- 黎巴嫩官员称，该卡车载有约780公斤炸药，包括TNT和C-4。
• The truck was carrying approximately 780 kilograms of explosives, including TNT and C-4, Lebanese officials said.
- 两名嫌疑人因运输该批货物被捕。
• Two suspects were arrested for transporting the shipment.
逮捕之后真主党承认这些炸药属于他们，但声称原意是用于在黎巴嫩南部对抗以色列军队。
After the arrest Hezbollah acknowledged that the explosives belonged to them but claimed they were intended for use against the Israeli military in southern Lebanon.
- 真主党在黎巴嫩的对手们抓住此事，将其视为真主党武装武器危险及其独立军事活动的进一步证明。
• Hezbollah's opponents in Lebanon seized on the incident as further proof of the danger of the Shia militia's weapons and its independent military activity.
- 真主党及其在黎巴嫩的盟友此后一直施压政府，要求释放其两名成员并将炸药归还给武装组织。
• Hezbollah and its allies in Lebanon have since pressed the government to release its two members and return the explosives to the militia.
幕后情况：国务院官员表示，卢比奥敦促奥恩“追究所有下达命令、提供资金和指挥此次运输的人员的责任，并强调将炸药归还给真主党绝不可接受。”• 奥恩向卢比奥保证，黎巴嫩军队和安全部队正全面落实防止武装展示、没收武器和弹药、打击走私的决定，总统办公室如是称。
Behind the scenes: The State Department official said Rubio urged Aoun to "hold accountable all those who ordered, financed, and directed the shipment, and underscored that returning explosives to Hezbollah should be out of the question." • Aoun assured Rubio that the Lebanese army and security forces are fully implementing decisions to prevent armed displays, confiscate weapons and ammunition, and combat smuggling, the president's office said.
- 奥恩还强调，司法当局将不对责任人从宽处理，并将依法公正执法。
• Aoun also stressed that the judicial authorities will show no leniency toward those responsible and will enforce the laws without favoritism.
- “除非无罪，否则不会释放任何人，”奥恩对卢比奥如是说，据黎巴嫩官员透露。
• "No one will be released unless he is innocent," Aoun told Rubio according to a Lebanese official. The big picture:
全景概览：卢比奥在通话中还提到了黎巴嫩1955年的《抵制法》，该法律禁止任何与以色列人的接触，国务院官员表示。
Rubio also raised Lebanon's 1955 Boycott Law, which bans any contact with Israelis, during the call, the State Department official said.
- 这一话题源于黎巴嫩驻美国大使纳达·哈马德·莫阿德在黎巴嫩法院提起的一起诉讼，当时她在约旦河西岸恐怖袭击中导致其以色列同僚叶希尔·莱特纳的儿子受伤后，致电了对方。
• The topic stems from a complaint filed in a Lebanese court against Nada Hamadeh Moawad, Lebanon's ambassador to the United States, when she called her Israeli counterpart Yechiel Leiter after his son was wounded in a West Bank terror attack.
- 卢比奥告诉奥恩，黎巴嫩这部法律“经常被用于政治化的起诉，以阻碍与以色列实现和平的步骤。”
• Rubio told Aoun this Lebanese law "is routinely used for politicized prosecutions that deter steps towards peace with Israel."
当前局势：以色列继续对黎巴嫩南部发动袭击，并声称其目标是真主党目标。
State of play: Israel has continued its strikes in southern Lebanon and claims it is targeting Hezbollah targets.
- 奥恩要求卢比奥施压以色列停止这些袭击，并允许农民在不被袭击的情况下进入他们的田地，奥恩办公室表示。
• Aoun asked Rubio to press Israel to stop these attacks and allow farmers to access their fields without being targeted, his office said.
- 在与奥恩通话后，卢比奥与以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡通了话，但国务院拒绝就该通话发表评论。
• After his call with Aoun, Rubio spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, though the State Department would not comment on the conversation.
接下来：以色列和黎巴嫩之间的谈判在以色列选举前有所放缓。
What to Negotiations between Israel and Lebanon have slowed down ahead of the Israeli elections.
- 由美国斡旋的协议中，关于以色列国防军从黎巴嫩南部试点地区撤出的执行也在缓慢推进。
• The implementation of the U.S.-brokered agreement over the IDF withdrawal from pilot zones in southern Lebanon is also moving slowly.
- 美国、黎巴嫩和以色列的军方官员预计将于下周在美国中央司令部总部会面，讨论该协议的执行情况。
• U.S., Lebanese and Israeli military officers are expected to meet at CENTCOM headquarters next week to discuss the implementation.
