一名参加在被占领的约旦河西岸遭到以色列占领者袭击的代表团的欧洲外交官周六驳斥了以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡对该事件的质疑。
A European diplomat, who was part of a delegation attacked by Israeli occupiers in the occupied West Bank, rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's doubts about the incident on Saturday.
以色列公共广播公司KAN援引该匿名外交官的话称：“事实很清楚。我们遭到了袭击。”
"The facts are clear. We were attacked," Israeli public broadcaster KAN quoted the unnamed diplomat as saying.
该外交官质疑内塔尼亚胡对代表团未与以色列军队协调访问的批评，指出以色列在被占领的约旦河西岸B区仍承担安全责任。该外交官还质疑为何外交官和采摘橄榄的人应遭到袭击。
The diplomat challenged Netanyahu's criticism of the delegation for failing to coordinate its visit with the Israeli army, noting that Israel retains security responsibility in Area B of the occupied West Bank. The diplomat also questioned why diplomats and people harvesting olives should face attacks.
这些言论是针对内塔尼亚胡办公室的一份声明作出的回应，该声明呼吁对有报道称蒙面以色列人在拉马拉附近袭击欧洲外交官的报道保持谨慎。声明称：“严肃的指控需要严肃的证据。”
The remarks came in response to a statement from Netanyahu's office urging caution over reports that masked Israelis had attacked European diplomats near Ramallah. "Serious accusations require serious evidence," the statement said.
内塔尼亚胡办公室承认，画面显示蒙面个人正在对抗一辆外交车辆，但声称这些画面并未确立事件的完整经过或个人责任。以色列军方表示，已就该事件与警方展开联合调查。
Netanyahu's office acknowledged that footage showed masked individuals confronting a diplomatic vehicle but claimed the images did not establish the full sequence of events or individual responsibility. The Israeli army said it had launched a joint investigation with police into the incident.
袭击发生在拉马拉东部的泰贝镇附近，当时代表团正在此访问，恰逢橄榄收获季节。代表团包括法国和比利时领事、一名波兰代表以及天主教会官员。
The attack occurred near the town of Taybeh, east of Ramallah, where a delegation was visiting during the olive harvest season. The delegation included the French and Belgian consuls, a Polish representative and Catholic Church officials.
蒙面的以色列占领者与代表团成员发生对峙，一辆比利时领事车辆的车窗被砸碎。
Masked Israeli occupiers confronted members of the delegation, and a Belgian consular vehicle had its window smashed.
以色列军队广播报道称，军队和警察在收到代表团位置和事件录像（该录像在几分钟内发出）后三小时才到达现场。
Israeli army radio reported that troops and police arrived at the scene three hours after receiving the delegation's location and footage of the incident, which had been sent within minutes.
另外，反对党以色列贝特诺党领袖阿维格多·利伯曼指责内塔尼亚胡及其国防和国家安全部长未能遏制以色列占领者的袭击行为。利伯曼警告称，他们的不作为正在削弱国际社会对以色列的支持。
Separately, opposition Yisrael Beiteinu party leader Avigdor Lieberman accused Netanyahu and his defense and national security ministers of failing to curb attacks by Israeli occupiers. Lieberman warned that their inaction was eroding international support for Israel.
以色列占领者对巴勒斯坦人及其财产的袭击在本月早些时候开始的橄榄收获季节期间加剧。
Attacks by Israeli occupiers against Palestinians and their property have intensified during the olive harvest season, which began earlier this month.
