以色列新政府的组建不会停止杀戮，但国际社会必须持续施压。枪声未停，还能叫停火吗？去年10月宣布停火时，加沙的杀戮有所减少，但并未终止。周四上午，以色列袭击了当地仅存的少数仍在运转的医院之一，造成6人死亡、28人受伤，这是停火以来首次袭击医疗机构。但这并非孤例。自停火宣布以来，平均每天约有四名巴勒斯坦人死亡。
The formation of a new Israeli government won’t stop the killing, but sustained international pressure must be applied What do you call a ceasefire when the firing has not ceased? The killings in Gaza decreased when the truce was announced last October, but they did not end. Israel’s strike on Thursday morning on one of the few remaining functioning hospitals, which killed six people and wounded 28 more, was the first on a healthcare facility since then. But it was not an anomaly. About four Palestinians a day have died on average since the ceasefire was declared.
以色列军方称，对纳赛尔医院的袭击针对的是一名哈马斯指挥官和其他武装人员，但未提供证据。以军过往的记录让人难以相信其说法的准确性。多位联合国专家和健康倡导人士警告称，医疗设施和医护人员遭到蓄意攻击。以军人员也描述称，在2023年10月7日哈马斯发动残暴袭击后，即便针对的是低级别武装人员，平民死亡人数之高也令人震惊，却被当作“附带损伤”加以容忍。
The Israeli military said that it had struck a Hamas commander and other fighters in the attack on Nasser hospital, without providing evidence. Its record does not inspire confidence in the accuracy of its account. Multiple UN experts and health campaigners have warned of the deliberate targeting of medical facilities and healthcare workers. Israeli military personnel have also described the shockingly high level of civilian deaths tolerated as “collateral damage” in targeting even low-level fighters after the brutal Hamas attacks of 7 October 2023.
