哈馬斯否認即將停火的報導
由亞倫BOXERMAN
哈馬斯的一名高級官員否認以色列媒體關於即將停火的報導。
“一些敵對媒體報導說，哈馬斯星期四同意停火是不正確的。哈馬斯領導層成員伊扎特·裡什克（Izzat al-Rishq）在一份聲明中說。
裡什克說，在聯合國，埃及，卡塔爾和其他國家的領導下，協調停火的工作正在進行中。
al-Rishq說：“儘管強調調解員的努力和接觸是認真而持續的，但我們人民的要求是明確和眾所周知的。”
Hamas denies reports of imminent ceasefire
By AARON BOXERMAN
A senior Hamas official denies Israeli media reports of a pending ceasefire.
“It is not true what some enemy media reported that Hamas agreed to a ceasefire on Thursday. No agreement or specific timings for the ceasefire were reached,” Izzat al-Rishq, a member of Hamas’s leadership, says in a statement.
The efforts to coordinate a ceasefire — led by the United Nations, Egypt, Qatar and other countries — are ongoing, al-Rishq says.
“While emphasizing that the efforts and contacts of the mediators are serious and continuous, the demands of our people are clear and well-known,” al-Rishq says.

多家知情人士援引知情人士的話說，美國總統喬·拜登和政府官員已鼓勵總理本傑明·內塔尼亞胡和其他以色列高級官員結束對加沙的轟炸，因為以色列和巴勒斯坦的死亡人數很高不斷增加，拜登（Biden）上的壓力越來越大，需要更加有力地行動以停止戰鬥。
美聯社援引拜登政府高級官員昨天和今天向以色列人強調，就國際反對以色列空襲和哈馬斯火箭彈為期9天的國際反對而言，他們的時機尚不成熟，因此，盡快結束行動符合他們的利益。這位官員說，並補充說，他們無權在私下談話中公開發表評論，並在匿名的情況下發表講話。
該賬目顯示，拜登政府官員私下里向內塔尼亞胡發送消息的方式比他們以前透露的要私密得多。白宮昨日宣讀了拜登對內塔尼亞胡的呼籲，稱拜登表示支持停火，但對美國敦促以色列結束戰鬥一事無動於衷。
同時，《紐約時報》引述兩個熟悉昨天的電話的兩名人士為例，據類似的報導，拜登警告內塔尼亞胡，他將無法忍受更長的國際壓力。
以色列高級官員引述以色列-哈馬斯停戰消息
由雅各布馬吉德和TOI人員
以色列高級官員說，除非有任何意料之外的事態發展，否則以色列與加沙恐怖組織之間的停火將於週四生效。
引述這位官員的話說：“沒有決定性的結果，不會有結果的。” “我們都累了。”
希伯來語的各種媒體都在報導-多數情況下沒有引用消息來源-確實預期在雙方在當前衝突中實現其主要既定目標後的2-3天內將達成停火。
但是，一位熟悉埃及為促成以色列與哈馬斯達成停火而努力的外交人士告訴以色列時報，談判仍在進行中，尚未達成任何協議。
12頻道的新聞引用了“外國報導”，但沒有詳細說明，稱總理本傑明·內塔尼亞胡已通知華盛頓，他已準備好從周四開始停火。
此前有報導稱，埃及已提議從周四凌晨6點開始休戰，哈馬斯也同意了這一提議。
以色列國防軍兩次試圖在當前戰鬥中殺死哈馬斯軍事聯隊負責人
通過猶大阿里毛
以色列國防軍認為，在本輪暴力衝突中，以色列國防軍試圖殺死哈馬斯軍事部門負責人穆罕默德·迪夫至少兩次，但兩次都毫髮無傷。
現在僅允許發布此信息。
以色列國防軍在加沙地帶針對哈馬斯的持續運動中，軍方表示，其主要目標之一是殺死恐怖組織的高級領導人，他們為了躲避以色列國防軍的襲擊而躲藏起來。
戴夫（Deif）因參與策劃和執行大量恐怖襲擊而在以色列最想要的名單上已有25年以上。以色列軍方認為戴夫是熟練的野戰指揮官。
在本月以色列兩次失敗嘗試之前，多年來，以色列安全部門曾試圖殺死戴夫至少五次。第一次嘗試是在2001年進行的，第二次嘗試是2002年進行的，這使他喪失了視力，一年之後又進行了第三次。在2006年進行的另一次罷工中，他受了重傷，失去了雙腿和一隻手臂的使用權。
2014年，在那一年的加沙戰爭期間，以色列再次企圖殺死戴夫（Deif），但差點想念他，殺了他的妻子、,中的兒子和3歲的女兒。儘管以色列最初認為戴夫也曾在罷工中喪生，但後來他確定自己確實還活了下來。

以色列國防軍作戰局局長說，如果當前的戰鬥使五年平靜下來，他將認為這場戰役是成功的。
“如果您逼我到一個角落，問我認為成功有什麼合理的條件，我會說至少五年甚至更長的時間，”少將阿哈隆·哈利瓦（Aharon Haliva）告訴坎那廣播公司。
在一次坦率的直播採訪中，哈利瓦承認，軍方並未完全預期上週哈馬斯向耶路撒冷發射火箭的決定，並認為加沙執政的恐怖組織寧願在即將來臨的穆斯林開齋節前保持安靜。 -Fitr，以允許加沙地帶的居民和平共慶。
然而，哈利瓦說，儘管哈馬斯發起了這一輪暴力，但以色列國防軍的反應遠比恐怖組織預期的要有力。

Egypt has asked Israel not to increase its attacks in the Gaza Strip, according to a report by the Al-Arabiya network early Tuesday morning.
This coincides with an announcement by Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh that he is ready for a de-escalation if Israel commits to it as well.
Egypt has been working to mediate a ceasefire between Israel and the Gaza Strip in recent days, even discussing the option with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday and US President Joe Biden on Monday.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Monday that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas might be within reach.
"Egypt is going to great lengths to reach a ceasefire between the Israelis and Palestinians - and hope still exists that a collective action could end the conflict," he said in an Al Arabiya interview.
"It is increasingly important to calm the spirits and end the violence and the killing," the Egyptian president added.
Over the weekend, Israeli and Arab media reported that Egypt had worked to negotiate a 12-hour ceasefire between the parties. Israel had objected to the deal's terms.
According to Al Arabiya, Egypt was preparing to send two security delegations to Tel Aviv and to Gaza, in another attempt to promote calm between Israel and Hamas.

US President Joe Biden spoke on Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It was the third conversation between the two leaders since the beginning of Operation Guardian of the Walls last week.
"The President reiterated his firm support for Israel’s right to defend itself against indiscriminate rocket attacks," the White House said in a statement.
"The President welcomed efforts to address inter-communal violence and to bring calm to Jerusalem. He encouraged Israel to make every effort to ensure the protection of innocent civilians," the statement read.
The two discussed the progress of Israel’s military operations against Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza, the White House said.
"The President expressed his support for a ceasefire and discussed US engagement with Egypt and other partners towards that end. The two leaders agreed that they and their teams would remain in close touch."
The call between the two leaders comes as the administration seek to promote a ceasefire. On Sunday and Monday, Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, discussed the situation with several senior officials in the region, including Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi and officials from Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and the EU.
In his conversation with Ashkenazi, Blinken discussed US efforts to bring an end to the violence, "which has claimed the lives of Israeli and Palestinian civilians, including children," the State Department said in a statement.
"The Secretary also expressed deep concern at the inter-communal violence," said Ned Price, the State Department spokesperson.
"The two discussed the path forward, and the Secretary noted that the United States would remain engaged with Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and other regional stakeholders as part of our diplomacy to ease tensions and put an end to the hostilities."
Handy Amr, the State Department's envoy to the region also met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and other Palestinian officials, the Department said in a statement.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said earlier on Monday that the United States shares with a range of countries around the world a commitment and a desire to bring an end to the violence.
"And how we are approaching this is through the prism, again, of what steps can we take; what actions can we take behind the scenes," she said.
"We've had over 60 calls in the past week, from the President on down, with senior leaders in Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and across the region; and how can we bring an end to the violence through our relationships in the region, both with the Israelis and the Israeli government and also with key other partners whether it's the Egyptians, the Qataris, and other key countries in the region," said Psaki.

哥本哈根-美國國務卿安東尼·布林肯週一說，美國正在“努力”制止以色列和巴勒斯坦激進分子之間的暴力衝突，並拒絕了有關華盛頓阻止聯合國外交的建議。
布林肯還在訪問丹麥時說，他沒有看到以色列提供的任何證據，暗示哈馬斯正在建築房屋媒體出口處-包括位於美國的美聯社-在以色列的一次導彈襲擊中被摧毀。週末。
他說，應該由其他人來權衡情報問題。
以色列說，其戰鬥機擊中了多層建築，“其中包含屬於哈馬斯恐怖組織情報局的軍事資產”。
以色列總理內塔尼亞胡週日對哥倫比亞廣播公司的廣播電台說，以色列將通過“情報服務”提供這種證明。尚不清楚以色列是否向美國提供了這一點。
眨眼說，美國正在全天候工作，以幫助結束暴力，但沒有透露任何細節。
當被問及為什麼美國阻止聯合國安理會譴責以色列軍方的聲明時，布林肯在與丹麥外交大臣的新聞發布會上說：“我們沒有阻礙外交，相反，我們實際上是在不停地進行外交。”回复。
華盛頓是以色列的堅強盟友，由於反對安理會發表公開聲明而被聯合國孤立，因為它擔心會損害幕後外交。
布林肯說，以色列有權捍衛自己，但他感到震驚的是，記者和醫務人員受到威脅，特別是在以色列摧毀了加沙設有許多媒體機構的塔樓之後。
布林肯說，美國已要求以色列提供有關這次襲擊的更多細節。
“罷工後不久，我們確實要求提供更多理由說明這一點。我不想在這個論壇上討論情報問題，這不是我的地方。我將把它留給其他人來描述是否共享了任何信息以及我們對該信息的評估。”他說。
IDF SPOKESPERSON準將 希代·齊伯曼（Hidai Zilberman）週日對軍方在加沙地帶的行動，尤其是周六媒體辦公室對Al Jala大樓的轟炸提出了批評。

COPENHAGEN - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday the United States was working "intensively" to end violence between Israel and Palestinian militants, and rejected suggestions that Washington was blocking diplomacy at the United Nations.
Blinken also said during a visit to Denmark that he had not seen any evidence provided by Israel on suggestions that Hamas was operating out of a building housing media outlets - including the US-based Associated Press - which was destroyed in an Israeli missile strike at the weekend.
He said it would be up to others to weigh on intelligence matters.
Israel said its fighter jets struck a multi-storey building "which contained military assets belonging to the intelligence offices of the Hamas terror organization."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CBS broadcaster on Sunday that Israel would provide such proof through "intelligence services". It was not clear whether Israel provided that to the United States.
Blinken said the United States was working round the clock to help put an end to the violence but gave few details.
"We're not standing in the way of diplomacy, on the contrary we are exercising it virtually non-stop," Blinken told a news conference with Denmark's foreign minister when asked why the United States had blocked a UN Security Council statement condemning Israel's military response.
Washington, a strong ally of Israel, has been isolated at the United Nations over its objection to a public statement by the Security Council because it worries it could harm diplomacy behind the scenes.
Blinken said Israel has the right to defend itself, but that he had been alarmed that journalists and medical workers had been put at risk, in particular after Israel destroyed the tower block in Gaza housing a number of media outlets.
The United States has requested additional details from Israel regarding the attack, Blinken said.
"Shortly after the strike we did request additional details regarding the justification for it. I wouldn’t want to weigh in on intelligence matters in this forum, it’s not my place. I will leave it to others to characterize if any information has been shared and our assessment of that information," he said.
IDF SPOKESPERSON Brig.-Gen. Hidai Zilberman on Sunday deflected criticism of the military's actions in the Gaza Strip, particularly the bombing of the Al Jala building with media offices on Saturday.
Magen David Adom rescue services said that 10 civilians have been killed since the beginning of the fighting and another 306 have been injured to varying degrees. One soldier has been killed.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza, 181 people have been killed since the fighting began, including 52 children and 31 women. Another 1200 have been injured.

美國和聯合國表示，他們為加沙停火而努力，當時他們向聯合國安理會召開的一次特別會議作了簡報，該會議幾乎是召集的，因為哈馬斯連續第七天用火箭彈襲擊以色列，而以色列國防軍發動了反擊。
聯合國琳達·托馬斯·格林菲爾德大使對15名聯合國安理會成員說：“美國一直在通過外交渠道不懈努力，以試圖結束這場衝突。” 她以美國負責以色列和巴勒斯坦事務的副助理秘書海迪·阿姆（Hady Amr）的身分在該地區，以幫助促成停火。他會見了本傑明·內塔尼亞胡總理和國防部長本尼·甘茨。
托馬斯·格林菲爾德說，白宮也參與其中。喬·拜登總統與內塔尼亞胡進行了交談，布林肯與以色列，巴勒斯坦和區域高級領導人進行了交談。這些努力是在與哈馬斯直接接觸的埃及和卡塔爾特使的基礎上進行的。
她說：“美國仍在與以色列，埃及和卡塔爾官員以及特別協調員及其團隊保持密切接觸。所有這些人都在努力確定和建立可持續的平靜條件。” 托馬斯·格林菲爾德（Thomas-Greenfield）解釋說，“當事各方尋求停火時，美國準備提供我們的支持和good旋，因為我們認為，以色列人和巴勒斯坦人同樣有權享有安全和保障。基本權利。”她說。
她呼籲結束哈馬斯的火箭彈射擊，並說“她對以色列混合社區內持續的社區間暴力感到關切”。
大使說：“我們敦促各方避免破壞和平未來的行動。” “這包括避免煽動，暴力襲擊和恐怖行為，以及在1967年線以東的驅逐行動（包括在東耶路撒冷）的強拆和定居點建設。至關重要的是，所有各方都必須維護和尊重聖地的歷史現狀。網站。”
聯合國秘書長安東尼奧·古特雷斯說：“聯合國正在積極與各方進行即時停火。敵對行動已經造成不合理的死亡，巨大的痛苦和重要基礎設施的破壞。” 哈馬斯連續第七天用火箭彈襲擊以色列，以色列國防軍發動反擊，他發了言。
古特雷斯說：“由於以色列對加沙的襲擊，巴勒斯坦平民傷亡人數不斷增加，其中包括許多婦女和兒童，我感到震驚。我也對以色列從加沙發射的火箭彈造成的死亡表示遺憾。”
他補充說，他還對以色列在西岸和東耶路撒冷的安全部隊之間的暴力衝突以及以色列和猶太公民之間的騷亂感到關切。
他說：“以色列安全部隊與包括東耶路撒冷在內的被佔領的西岸各地的巴勒斯坦人之間的暴力衝突令我深感關切，那裡一些巴勒斯坦家庭正面臨被驅逐的威脅，”他說。
古特雷斯說：“在以色列，警惕型團體和暴民的暴力行為為已經惡化的危機增添了可怕的面貌。各方領導人都有責任制止煽動性言論，並緩和不斷加劇的緊張局勢。”古特雷斯說。
埃及和約旦的代表以及以色列和巴勒斯坦權力機構的代表都參加了特別會議。
巴勒斯坦外交部長里亞德·馬爾基（Riyad Malki）指責以色列犯有戰爭罪，並呼籲聯合國安理會對以色列的行為負責，包括通過武器禁運或中止與以色列的關係。
以色列“已宣稱剝奪了我們的安全權。為什麼不讓自己陷入困境？如果您的國家被佔領，而您的人民遭到屠殺，您會怎麼做？” 他說。
“有多少巴勒斯坦人被殺足以譴責；憤怒的門檻是什麼？” 他問到一個事件，其中有一個家庭的九名成員被殺。
他說：“以色列不僅是軍事大國，而且是核大國。以色列受到鐵穹頂的保護，但巴勒斯坦人沒有安全的去處；需要保護和同情的是巴勒斯坦公民。”說。
馬爾基說：“巴勒斯坦的自由是通往和平的唯一途徑，聯合國安理會有道義上的責任來幫助巴勒斯坦人實現這一自由。”
以色列對聯合國和美國的駐華大使吉拉德·艾爾丹（Gilad Erdan）在理事會上談到了針對以色列的火箭彈襲擊的代價，並舉了一張16歲的以色列阿拉伯裔少年納迪恩·奧瓦德（Nadeen Awwad）的照片。星期。
埃爾丹說：“她正在研究生物學和化學，她夢想著改變世界。上週三，她被激進的聖戰恐怖組織哈馬斯謀殺。”
他解釋說：“在過去的一周中，成千上萬的以色列兒童和婦女縮在防空洞中，數千枚哈馬斯火箭彈降落在他們周圍。”
他問聯合國安理會成員，如果有一個與ISIS具有類似狂熱聖戰思想的組織轟炸北京，莫斯科或都柏林，並關閉巴黎，奧斯陸或倫敦的機場，他們會怎麼做？您希望安全理事會怎麼做？ ”
他說，哈馬斯不僅想摧毀以色列，而且還爭奪在約旦河西岸的權力，並取代巴勒斯坦權力機構。
埃爾丹（Erdan）指責哈馬斯（Hamas）在耶路撒冷的緊張局勢升級，並煽動聖殿山（Temple Mount）的暴力。以色列“珍惜宗教自由。在齋月期間，每年都有成千上萬的穆斯林在和平的聖地自由祈禱，”他說。
他說，以色列已盡最大努力消除首都的緊張局勢，其中包括拒絕最高法院就東耶路撒冷謝赫·賈拉（Sheikh Jarrah）鄰國四個巴勒斯坦家庭即將被驅逐一事進行聽證，這一舉動引起了國際關注。
埃爾丹說，它改變了耶路撒冷日遊行的路線，並阻止了猶太遊客進入該地點。
他說，哈馬斯的反應是向耶路撒冷發射火箭彈，並補充說，恐怖組織利用國際援助在操場，醫院和清真寺下面修建了地下隧道網絡，對平民進行襲擊。
以色列大使說，以色列已竭盡全力打擊軍事目標，並最大程度地減少了平民傷害。
他進一步指控哈馬斯呼籲以色列阿拉伯人攻擊猶太人，這導致了主權以色列內部的持續騷亂，其中還包括猶太人對阿拉伯人的攻擊。
他呼籲聯合國安理會譴責哈馬斯濫發火箭彈並要求加沙地帶非軍事化。
“您有兩種選擇。您可以通過要求各方克制，並且毫不含糊地譴責哈馬斯，在使生命成聖的民主國家的行為與為頌揚死亡的恐怖主義組織的行為之間造成虛假的道德對等–不道德的對等。 ，“ 他說。
或者，埃爾丹說：“您可以向哈馬斯發出一個明確的信息，即國際社會將不再接受其將巴勒斯坦兒童變成人盾，並利用學校，醫院和高層建築掩蓋其恐怖機器的戰略。您可以選擇通過要求加沙地帶非軍事化並堅持要求加沙政府擁有一個權力來支持加沙人民的福祉，而不是摧毀以色列國，從而支持更和平的未來。”
聯合國中東和平進程特別協調員托·溫尼斯蘭（Tor Wennesland）向安理會介紹了暴力造成的破壞。
他說，自5月10日以來，哈馬斯和加沙的其他激進組織從加沙地帶向以色列發射了2900枚不加選擇的火箭，當時殺死了9名以色列人，其中包括5名婦女和2個孩子，以及1名印度國民。他還說，有250多人受傷，其中23人重傷。
他說，以色列國防軍已經對“激進目標”進行了950多次罷工，其中包括武器工廠和倉庫，隧道網絡，哈馬斯培訓設施，情報和安全總部以及哈馬斯和巴勒斯坦伊斯蘭聖戰組織特工的辦公室和房屋。 ”
溫尼斯蘭德說，這樣的罷工已經殺死了100多個哈馬斯行動，因為他將巴勒斯坦人在加沙的整體死亡人數定為181。
他補充說，死者中還包括52名兒童和31名婦女，並說有34,000多人流離失所。
“由於軍事行動，七家工廠，四十所學校和至少四家醫院遭受了全部或部分破壞。至少有18座建築物，包括四座高層塔樓……其中一間是國際媒體，已被摧毀並翻倒。 350座建築物遭到破壞。” “根據以色列國防軍，這些建築物內有哈馬斯軍事設施。”

The United States and the United Nations said they were working for a Gaza ceasefire when they briefed a special UN Security Council meeting that convened virtually, as Hamas barraged Israel with rockets for the seventh day in a row and the IDF launched counter strikes.
"The US has been working tirelessly through diplomatic channels to try to bring an end to this conflict," Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield told the 15 member UNSC. She spoke as US Deputy Assistant Secretary for Israel and Palestinian Affairs Hady Amr was in the region to help broker a ceasefire. He met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Benny Gantz.
The White House has also been involved, Thomas-Greenfield said. President Joe Biden spoke with Netanyahu, and Blinken spoke with senior Israeli, Palestinian and regional leaders. Those efforts come on top of the Egyptian and Qatari envoys who have been in direct contact with Hamas.
"The United States remains intensively engaged with Israeli, Egyptian, and Qatari officials, as well as the Special Coordinator and his team – all of whom are working to define and establish conditions for a sustainable calm," she said. Thomas-Greenfield explained that the US is "prepared to lend our support and good offices should the parties seek a ceasefire, because we believe Israelis and Palestinians equally have a right to live in safety and security. The current violence has deprived both communities of this basic right," she said.
She called for an end to the Hamas rocket fire and said she was "concerned about the ongoing inter-communal violence within mixed communities in Israel."
"We urge all parties to avoid actions that undermine a peaceful future," the ambassador said. "This includes avoiding incitement, violent attacks and terrorist acts, as well as evictions – including in east Jerusalem – demolitions, and settlement construction east of the 1967 lines. And critically, all parties need to uphold and respect the historic status quo at the holy sites."
UN SECRETARY-GENERAL Antonio Guterres said the "United Nations is actively engaging all sides towards an immediate ceasefire. The hostilities have already caused unconscionable death, immense suffering and damage to vital infrastructure." He spoke as Hamas barraged Israel with rockets for the seventh day in a row and the IDF launched counter strikes.
"I am appalled by the increasingly large numbers of Palestinian civilian casualties, including many women and children, from Israeli strikes in Gaza. I also deplore Israeli fatalities from rockets launched from Gaza," Guterres said.
He added that he was also concerned by violent clashes between Israeli security forces in the West Bank and east Jerusalem as well as the rioting within sovereign Israel between Jewish and Arab citizens.
"I am also deeply concerned by violent clashes between Israeli security forces and Palestinians across the occupied West Bank, including east Jerusalem, where some Palestinian families are under threat of eviction," he stated.
"In Israel, violence by vigilante-style groups and mobs has added a further horrendous dimension to an already deteriorating crisis. Leaders on all sides have a responsibility to curb inflammatory rhetoric and calm the rising tensions," Guterres said.
Representatives from Egypt and Jordan were at the special meeting, as were those from Israel and the PA.
PALESTINIAN FOREIGN MINISTER Riyad Malki accused Israel of war crimes and called on the UNSC to hold Israel accountable for its actions, including through an arms embargo or the suspension of relations with Israel.
Israel "has claimed the rights to security it denies us. Why not put yourself in our shoes? What would you do if your country was under occupation and your people were massacred?" he said.
"How many Palestinians killed is enough for a condemnation; what is the threshold for outrage?" he asked as he pointed to an incident in which nine members of one family were killed.
"Israel is not only a military power, it is a nuclear power,' he said. Israel is protected by an Iron Dome, but the Palestinians have no safe place to go; it is the Palestinian citizens who needs protection and compassion," he said.
"Palestinian freedom is the only path to peace, and the UNSC has a moral duty to help the Palestinians achieve this freedom," Malki said.
ISRAEL'S AMBASSADOR to both the UN and the US Gilad Erdan spoke the council about the cost of the rocket barrage against Israel, holding up a photo of Nadeen Awwad, 16, an Israeli-Arab teen who was killed by a rocket along with her father last week.
"She was studying biology and chemistry, and she dreamed of changing the world. She was murdered last Wednesday by the radical, Jihadi terrorist group Hamas," Erdan said.
"Over the last week, millions of Israeli children, women and men, have been huddling in bomb shelters, while thousands of Hamas rockets landed all around them," he explained.
He asked UNSC members what they would do "if an organization with a similar fanatic jihadist ideology as ISIS, was bombing Beijing or Moscow or Dublin and shutting down the airports of Paris or Oslo or London? What would you expect the Security Council to do?"
Hamas, he said, not only wants to destroy the state of Israel, "it’s also vying to take power in the West Bank, and to replace the Palestinian Authority."
Erdan accused Hamas of escalating tensions in Jerusalem and of inciting violence on the Temple Mount. Israel "cherishes freedom of religion. Every year during Ramadan, and throughout the year, hundreds of thousands of Muslims are free to pray at their holy site in peace," he said.
Israel, he said, had done its best to diffuse tensions in the capital, including by denying a Supreme Court hearing on the pending eviction of four Palestinian families in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, which has gained international attention.
It rerouted the Jerusalem Day Parade and prevented Jewish visitors from accessing the site, Erdan said.
Hamas's response, he said, was to launch rockets at Jerusalem, adding that the terrorist group has used international aid to build an underground network of tunnels, beneath playgrounds, hospitals and mosques to carry out attacks against civilians.
Israel has done its best to strike military targets and to minimize civilian harm, the ambassador said.
He further charged that Hamas had called on Israeli Arabs to attack Jews, which had led to the ongoing rioting within sovereign Israel, which also included Jewish attacks against Arabs.
He called on the UNSC to condemn Hamas’s indiscriminate rocket fire and to demand the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip.
"You have two choices. You can create false moral equivalence – immoral equivalence – between the actions of a democracy that sanctifies life, and those of a terrorist organization that glorifies death, by calling for restraint on all sides, and failing to unequivocally condemn Hamas," he said.
Or, Erdan said, "You can send a clear message to Hamas that the international community will no longer accept its strategy of turning Palestinian children into human shields, and using schools, hospitals and high rises to hide its terror machine. You can choose to support a more peaceful future by demanding the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip and insisting on an authority in Gaza that invests in the well-being of the people of Gaza, rather than in the destruction of the State of Israel. "
UN SPECIAL COORDINATOR to the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland briefed the council on the damage caused by the violence.
Since May 10, Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza, he said, have launched over 2900 indiscriminate rockets from the Gaza Strip towards Israel, killing nine Israelis at the time, including five women and two children, and one Indian national. In addition, he said, over 250 people were injured, 23 were severely wounded.
The IDF, he said, has conducted over 950 strikes against "what it said were militant targets, including weapons factories and depots, tunnel networks, Hamas training facilities, intelligence and security headquarters and offices and homes of senior Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives."
Such strikes have killed over 100 Hamas operates, Wennesland said, as he placed the overall Palestinian death toll in Gaza at 181.
He added that the dead also included 52 children and 31 women and said that over 34,000 people had been displaced.
"As a result of the military operations, seven factories, 40 schools and at least four hospitals sustained complete or partial damage. At least 18 buildings, including four high-rise towers… one hosting international media outlets, have been destroyed and over 350 buildings damaged," Wennesland said. "According to the IDF, these buildings contained Hamas military installations."
在伊朗的支持下，無人機正成為對以色列的更大威脅-分析
伊朗通過複製美國無人機（例如“捕食者”或“前哨”）開創了無人機的先河。它還復制了在世界各地看到的其他無人機模型。

週二發生的事件是，無人駕駛飛機在到達邊界後在北部被擊落，這對以色列的無人機威脅越來越大。以色列國防軍在貝特謝安附近用一架阿帕奇直升機擊落了伊朗的無人機。
2018年2月，一架載有炸藥並從敘利亞T-4基地飛行的伊朗無人機也穿透了同一地區。
在加沙的這場戰爭中，以色列也不得不應對越來越多的無人機威脅。到星期一，至少有六架無人機被擊落。以色列在戰鬥中首次使用“鐵穹”擊落了至少一架無人機。一架F-16擊落了另一架。
無人駕駛飛機的威脅正在增加，它以伊朗的無人駕駛飛機為模型，伊斯蘭共和國在最近幾十年中率先進行了這種嘗試。
德黑蘭有幾條軍用無人機，其中一些用於監視。但是其中許多人是武裝的。
伊朗的無人機戰略是像巡航導彈一樣使用它們。您將它們裝滿炸藥，在上面放上陀螺儀和嚮導，然後它們飛到預先計劃的目標上。他們猛擊目標並炸毀。
這和第二次世界大戰的德國V-1火箭沒什麼兩樣，但是它有點複雜。
伊朗通過複製美國無人機（例如“捕食者”或“哨兵”）而成為先鋒。它還復制了在世界各地看到的其他無人機模型。此外，它還開發了一些自己的獨特模型。
例如，阿巴比爾（Ababil）無人機生產線已作為卡塞夫（Qasef）出口到也門的胡希斯（Houthis）。這架無人駕駛飛機是從鐵路或彈射器上發射出來的，飛行了數百公里進行襲擊。在最近的戰爭中，哈馬斯展示了其Shehab無人機，與Ababil和Qasef相似。
以色列不僅要與哈馬斯的無人機競爭，還要與近年來在黎巴嫩邊境發現的無人機以及其他從敘利亞飛入以色列領空的無人機競爭。
2018年7月，發生了兩起涉及從敘利亞飛往以色列的無人機的事件。以色列國防軍使用了“愛國者”導彈向他們射擊。其中一架在被愛國者擊落之前穿透了以色列領空幾公里。
以色列說，在這種情況下，它會在將無人機擊落之前對其進行監視。例如，5月18日的事件包括以色列國防軍的以下解釋：無人機碎片是由安全部隊收集的。”
雖然並非所有有關無人機威脅不斷增加的細節都一清二楚，但很顯然，過去三年來，以色列，敘利亞，黎巴嫩和加沙邊界的無人機活動呈上升趨勢。
以色列並不是唯一一個應對威脅的國家：沙特阿拉伯一直在面對伊朗支持的胡西無人機。
伊朗於2019年9月使用無人機和巡航導彈襲擊了沙特阿拉伯。駐伊拉克的親伊朗部隊已經在該國的美國設施上使用了無人機，其中包括今年至少進行了兩次無人駕駛飛機襲擊。德黑蘭在也門，伊拉克和加沙以及敘利亞和黎巴嫩支持所有這些措施。伊朗是一種將其無人機出口到該地區的無人機章魚。
伊朗的龍帶給戰場帶來了以前沒有的東西。在伊朗無人機受到威脅之前，主要問題是恐怖組織，例如ISIS改變了他們通過民用渠道購買的四軸飛行器的用途。
例如，美國中央司令部司令肯尼思·麥肯齊（Kenneth McKenzie）將軍警告了一年，在諸如Costco之類的大型商店購買的無人駕駛飛機是主要威脅。他指的是這些小型四軸飛行器，例如DJI系列。
這些無人機也可以用比樂高技術複雜得多的套件來製造。一旦構造完成，就可以對其進行編程，並且可以攜帶有效載荷，例如手榴彈。ISIS在2017年的摩蘇爾（Mosul）戰役中使用了類似的方法。這類無人機會被卡住，射程短。
伊朗的無人機威脅要大得多，其中包括無人機的大小和小型飛機的大小。它們在希伯來語中通常被稱為Malat或cli tais，本質上是大型的遙控飛機。但是，由於它們會通過一條預編程的路徑到達其目標，因此它們不一定會被卡住。
這意味著它們更像是巡航導彈。有時，它們被稱為“自殺”或“ kamikaze”無人機。有些也被稱為“遊蕩彈藥”，因為它們可以在飛向目標之前“遊蕩”在目標上。
但是伊朗的無人機並沒有真正游盪。他們只是飛入事物。以色列是其自己的遊蕩彈藥系列的先驅，是利用眾多反無人機系統防禦無人機的專家。
現在，這些包括鐵穹，無人駕駛圓頂，Re-Drone，無人駕駛警衛，Xtend的特種部隊使用的網絡射擊無人機，Skylock和其他系統。隨著威脅的增長，解決方案也在增加。
With Iranian support, drones are becoming a larger threat to Israel -analysis
Iran has pioneered drones by copying US drones, such as the Predator or Sentinel. It has also copied other drone models it has seen around the world.

An incident on Tuesday in which an unmanned aerial vehicle was shot down in the North after it approached the border represents a growing drone threat to Israel. The IDF shot down the Iranian UAV with an Apache helicopter near Beit She’an.
An Iranian drone carrying explosives and flown from Syria’s T-4 base in February 2018 also penetrated the same area.
Israel has had to contend with growing drone threats during this war in Gaza as well. By Monday, at least six drones had been shot down. Israel used Iron Dome for the first time in combat to take down at least one of the drones. An F-16 shot down another.
The drone threat is increasing, and it is modeled on Iran’s drone army, which the Islamic Republic has pioneered over recent decades.
Tehran has several lines of military drones, some of which are used for surveillance. But many of them are armed.
Iran’s drone strategy is to use them like cruise missiles. You pack them with explosives, put a gyroscope and guidance on them, and then they fly to a preplanned target. They slam into the target and blow up.
This is not unlike the German V-1 rocket of World War II, but it is a bit more complex.
Iran has pioneered them by copying US drones, such as the Predator or Sentinel. It has also copied other drone models it has seen around the world. In addition, it developed some of its own unique models.
The Ababil drone line, for instance, has been exported to the Houthis in Yemen as the Qasef. This drone is launched from a rail or catapult and flies several hundred kilometers to carry out an attack. Hamas has showcased its Shehab drones, which are similar to the Ababil and Qasef, during the recent war.
ISRAEL HAS had to contend not only with UAVs flown by Hamas but also drones that have been spotted on the Lebanese border in recent years and others that flew into Israeli airspace from Syria.
In July 2018, there were two incidents involving drones flying toward Israel from Syria. The IDF used a Patriot missile to shoot at them. One of them penetrated Israeli airspace for a few kilometers before being shot down by the Patriot.
In these cases, Israel says it monitors the drones before shooting them down. For instance, the May 18 incident included the following IDF explanation: “Earlier this morning, a UAV approaching the Israeli border in the Emek HaMa’ayanot area was intercepted after being monitored by the Israel Air Force. The UAV fragments were collected by security forces.”
While not all details are known about the increasing drone threat, it is clear that the last three years have seen an uptick in drone activity on Israel’s Syria, Lebanon and Gaza borders.
Israel is not alone in dealing with the threat: Saudi Arabia has been confronting the Iranian-backed Houthi drones.
Iran attacked Saudi Arabia in September 2019 using drones and cruise missiles. Pro-Iran forces in Iraq have used drones against US facilities there, including carrying out at least two drone attacks this year. Tehran is behind all of this in Yemen, Iraq and Gaza, as well as Syria and Lebanon. Iran is a kind of drone octopus exporting its drones around the region.
IRAN’S DRONES bring something to the battlefield that was not there before. Prior to the Iran drone threat, the main problem was terrorist groups such as ISIS repurposing quadcopters they bought via civilian channels.
For instance, US Central Command Commander Gen. Kenneth McKenzie has warned for a year that drones acquired off the shelf at big-box stores such as Costco are a major threat. He is referring to these small quadcopters, like the DJI line.
These drones can also be built with kits that are not much more sophisticated than Lego tech. Once constructed, they can be programmed and can carry payloads, such as a grenade. ISIS used things like this in the battle for Mosul in 2017. These kinds of drones can be jammed and have a short range.
The Iranian drone threat is much larger and includes drones the size of a person up to the size of a small plane. Often called malat or cli tais in Hebrew, they are essentially large, remote-controlled aircraft. However, because they fly a preprogrammed path to their target, they cannot necessarily be jammed.
That means they are more like a cruise missile. Sometimes they are referred to as “suicide” or “kamikaze” drones. Some are also called “loitering munitions” because they can “loiter” over a target before flying into it.
But Iran’s drones don’t really loiter; they just fly into things. Israel, a pioneer of its own lines of loitering munitions, is an expert in defending against drones with a plethora of anti-drone systems.
These now include Iron Dome, Drone Dome, Re-Drone, Drone Guard, Xtend’s series of net-shooting drones used by special forces, Skylock and other systems. As the threat grows, so does the solution.
參議院民主黨人呼籲以色列與哈馬斯立即停火

當“牆守衛行動”進入第八天時，一群29名參議院民主黨人在周日發表了一份簡短聲明，呼籲達成停火協議。
參議員在一份聯合聲明中說：“為防止平民進一步喪生，並防止以色列和巴勒斯坦領土上的衝突進一步升級，我們敦促立即停火。” 佐治亞州第一位猶太參議員喬恩·奧索夫（Jon Ossoff）領導了這封信。
簽署信的參議員包括新澤西州的科里·布克參議員，佛蒙特州的參議員伯尼·桑德斯和馬薩諸塞州的參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫。
週一，八名眾議院民主黨人加入了參議院同事的行列，並發表了另一項聲明，敦促拜登達成停火協議。簽署聲明的代表包括戴維·普賴斯（D-NC），芭芭拉·李（D-CA），勞埃德·多格特（D-TX）和艾倫·洛文塔爾（D-CA）。“最近在以色列和加沙爆發的暴力事件已導致數百人傷亡。無辜的生命已經喪失，”他們寫道。“極為必要的是立即實行停火，避免進一步流血。另一種選擇是無法想像的規模不斷擴大的人類悲劇。”
長期存在的問題需要引起注意，但首先要達成停火。我們敦促拜登政府最高層大膽領導並採取果斷行動。”
週日早些時候，美國總統拜登（Joe Biden）在穆斯林節日開齋節（Eid al-Fitr）上發布了一段視頻信息，稱他的政府正在與以色列，巴勒斯坦人和其他國家合作，以恢復平靜。總統說：“我們認為，巴勒斯坦人和以色列人同樣應享有安全與保障的生活，並享有平等的自由，繁榮與民主。” “我的政府將繼續與巴勒斯坦人和以色列人以及其他地區夥伴進行接觸，以實現持續的平靜。”
美國國務卿安東尼·布林肯週日與埃及，沙特阿拉伯和卡塔爾的高級官員就此事進行了 交談， 週一與約旦和突尼斯的外交部長進行了外交努力。
國務院在一份聲明中說，在與沙特外交大臣費薩爾·本·法漢·沙特的會談中，兩人“討論了為減輕以色列，西岸和加沙的緊張局勢並結束目前的暴力行為而正在進行的努力。”
以色列駐美國和聯合國大使吉拉德·埃爾丹（Gilad Erdan）週日在聯合國安理會講話，並表示，這並不是哈馬斯在躲藏在巴勒斯坦平民身後的同時，不分青紅皂白地向以色列平民發射致命的導彈。他說：“但是這次不一樣了。” “這完全是由哈馬斯預謀的，以便獲得政治權力。”
埃爾丹說：“這是哈馬斯發動的大規模，無端攻擊，不是由於涉及以色列的任何事件，而是由於巴勒斯坦內部的政治操縱。” “這次襲擊迫使以色列捍衛和保護其公民，並打擊哈馬斯的恐怖機器，以一勞永逸地制止他們的侵略。”
Senate Democrats call for an immediate ceasefire between Israel, Hamas

As "Operation Guardian of the Walls” enters its eighth day, a group of 29 Senate Democrats issued a short statement on Sunday, calling for a ceasefire agreement.
“To prevent any further loss of civilian life and to prevent further escalation of conflict in Israel and the Palestinian territories, we urge an immediate ceasefire,” the senators said in a joint statement. Jon Ossoff, the first Jewish senator from Georgia, led the letter.
Among the senators who signed the letters are Sen. Cory Booker from New Jersey, Sen. Bernie Sanders from Vermont, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts.
On Monday, eight House Democrats joined their Senate colleagues and issued another statement urging Biden to reach a ceasefire. Representatives David Price (D-NC), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), and Alan Lowenthal (D-CA) are among those who signed the statement. “The recent outbreak of violence in Israel and Gaza has led to hundreds of casualties. Innocent lives have been lost,” they wrote. “It is of the utmost necessity that an immediate ceasefire be put in place and further bloodshed averted. The alternative is an unfolding human tragedy of unimaginable dimensions.”
“Long-deferred issues demand attention, but a ceasefire comes first. We urge the Biden administration, at the highest levels, to boldly lead and take decisive action,” they added.
Earlier on Sunday, US President Joe Biden released a video message for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, saying that his administration is working with Israel, the Palestinians and other countries to restore calm. “We believe Palestinians and Israelis equally deserve to live in safety and security, and enjoy an equal measure of freedom, prosperity and democracy,” said the president. “My administration is going to continue to engage Palestinians and Israelis and other regional partners to work towards sustained calm.”
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke on Sunday with senior officials from Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Qatar about the situation, and on Monday with the foreign ministers of Jordan and Tunisia as part of his diplomatic efforts.
In his conversation with Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, the two “discussed the ongoing efforts to calm tensions in Israel and the West Bank and Gaza, and bring the current violence to an end,” the State Department said in a statement.
Israel’s Ambassador to the US and UN, Gilad Erdan, addressed the UN Security Council on Sunday and said that this is not the first time that Hamas has indiscriminately fired deadly missiles at Israeli civilians while hiding behind Palestinian civilians. “But this time it’s different,” he said. "It was completely premeditated by Hamas in order to gain political power."
It was “a massive, unprovoked assault by Hamas initiated not as a result of any incidents involving Israel, but due to internal Palestinian political maneuvering,” Erdan said. “This assault has forced Israel to defend and protect its citizens and strike Hamas’s terror machine in order to stop their aggression once and for all.”

上週發生 了嚴重的族裔間暴力，包括阿拉伯公民在羅德，海法和阿卡的暴動，以及猶太人對阿拉伯人的襲擊，一些穆斯林和猶太宗教領袖呼籲結束這種暴力。
一群宗教領袖上週發表了一項公開聲明，現在已有120名拉比，伊瑪目，謝赫和其他宗教領袖簽署了聲明，譴責暴力並呼籲停止所有此類行為。
該宣言是由阿克賈扎爾清真寺的伊瑪目謝赫·薩米爾·阿西（Sheikh Samir Asi）簽署的；前教育部長拉比·賽·皮龍（Rabbi Shai Piron）；共存的激進主義者拉馬拉的謝赫·阿布·哈利勒·塔米米（Sheikh Abu Khalil Tamimi）Maale Gilboa Yeshiva Yehudah Gilad的院長；巴勒斯坦商人，猶太和薩馬里亞商會聯合創始人謝赫·阿什拉夫·賈巴爾（Sheikh Ashraf Al Jabari）；信仰間合作的主要人物拉比·大衛·羅森（Rabbi David Rosen）等
“我們以清晰的聲音喊叫-不暴力！總體上不對破壞行為造成傷害，尤其是對聖地的傷害！不要盲目仇恨！不以宗教的名義煽動宗教，”宗教領袖寫道。
“我們所有人都知道，我們以色列人民，注定要通過合作，公平和相互尊重共同生活在這裡。即使我們之間在宗教和民族問題上存在嚴重分歧，我們也很清楚，我們所有人都必須至少按照“對您可恨的事，對您的同胞不做的事”的最小原則行事。”繼續。
“我們必須記住，我們都是我們父親亞伯拉罕的子孫，一個有信仰和善良的人。”
另外，該州伊斯蘭教法上訴法院的法官卡迪（伊斯蘭教士法官）穆罕默德·阿布·奧貝德譴責了暴力事件，並呼籲所有社區減輕緊張局勢。
阿布·奧貝德（Abu Obeid）寫道：“我們必須制止這些暴力行為，制止分歧和升級，並鎮定暴風雨的情緒。”
“多年來，尤其是近年來，我們設法編織了我們猶太人和阿拉伯人之間的美好關係，倡導公正，平衡的觀點，這些觀點基於接受彼此和不同的人，關於愛與人的觀點。尊嚴，爭取真正的和平，平靜，建設性的話語和同情心，”阿布·奧貝德（Abu Obeid）在他的故鄉納烏拉（Na'ura）所在的北部地區共存的努力中寫道。
“我們這個村莊的居民將繼續為雙方的祈禱而祈禱，兩個營地中的極端主義者都無法摧毀我們近年來建造的深層結構，並將繼續建立，堅強並保護它免受一切行為的侵害。暴力。”
貝特·莫拉沙（Beit Morasha）教育組織的宗教領袖論壇發布了一個視頻，宣稱“暴力在我的宗教中沒有地位。”
參加錄像帶的領導人包括拉哈特al-Noor清真寺的伊瑪目伊瑪目謝赫·賈馬爾·奧布拉（Sheikh Jamal al-Obra）；布里克爾宗教間對話研究所所長拉比·雅科夫·納根（Rabbi Yaakov Nagen）萊姆的伊曼紐爾聖公會主教教堂的佳能塞繆爾·範努斯牧師；以及位於加利利西部的阿拉伯al-Aramshe鎮的al-Ansar清真寺的伊瑪目謝赫·哈特姆·朱馬（Sheikh Hatem Jumaa）等人。

In the wake of the severe interethnic violence last week, including violent riots by Arab citizens in Lod, Haifa and Acre, and attacks by Jews on Arabs, several Muslim and Jewish religious leaders have called for an end to such violence.
A group of religious leaders issued a public statement last week which has now been signed by 120 rabbis, imams, sheikhs and other religious leaders denouncing violence and calling for an end to all such acts.
The declaration was signed among others by Sheikh Samir Asi, the imam of the al-Jazar mosque in Acre; former education minister Rabbi Shai Piron; Sheikh Abu Khalil Tamimi of Ramallah, a coexistent activist; Dean of the Maale Gilboa Yeshiva Yehudah Gilad; Palestinian businessman and co-founder of the Judea and Samaria Chamber of Commerce Sheikh Ashraf Al Jabari; and Rabbi David Rosen, a leading figure in interfaith cooperation, among others
“We call out in a clear voice - No to violence! No to vandalism in general and harm to holy places in particular! No to blind hatred! No to incitement in the name of religion,” the religious leaders wrote.
“We all understand that we, the citizens of Israel, are destined to live here together through cooperation, fairness and mutual respect. Even if there are deep disagreements between us on religious and national issues, it is clear to us that we must all act at least according to the minimal rule of ‘That which is hateful to you, not do to your fellow man’,” they continued.
“We must remember that we are all the children of Abraham our father, a man of faith and kindness.”
Separately, Qadi [Sharia judge] Muhammed Abu Obeid, a judge on the state’s Sharia court of appeal, denounced the violence and called for on all communities to reduce the tensions.
“We must stop these acts of violence, bring a halt to the divisiveness and escalation, and calm the stormy spirits,” wrote Abu Obeid.
“Over the years, especially recent years, we have managed to weave a fabric of wonderful relations between us, Jews and Arabs, to advocate fair, balanced opinions, which are based on accepting the other and those who are different, on love and human dignity, striving for true peace, calm, constructive discourse and empathy,” wrote Abu Obeid of
coexistence efforts
in the northern region where his home town of Na’ura is located.
“We residents of this village will continue to pray for sanity on both sides and that extremists in both camps will not unravel the deep fabric that we have built in recent years, and will continue to build, to stand strong and protect it against all acts of violence.”
And the forum of religious leaders of the Beit Morasha educational organization put out a video declaring that “Violence has no place in my religion.”
The leaders participating in the video included Sheikh Jamal al-Obra, Imam of the al-Noor mosque in Rahat; Rabbi Yaakov Nagen, director of the Blickle Institute for Interfaith Dialogue; Rev. Canon Samuel Fanous of the Emmanuel Anglican Episcopal Church in Ramle; and Sheikh Hatem Jumaa, imam of the al-Ansar mosque in the town of Arab al-Aramshe in the western Galilee, among others.

哈馬斯否認即將停火的報導

哈馬斯的一名高級官員否認以色列媒體關於即將停火的報導。
“一些敵對媒體報導說，哈馬斯星期四同意停火是不正確的。哈馬斯領導層成員伊扎特·裡什克（Izzat al-Rishq）在一份聲明中說。
裡什克說，在聯合國，埃及，卡塔爾和其他國家的領導下，協調停火的工作正在進行中。
al-Rishq說：“儘管強調調解員的努力和接觸是認真而持續的，但我們人民的要求是明確和眾所周知的。”
Hamas denies reports of imminent ceasefire
By AARON BOXERMAN
A senior Hamas official denies Israeli media reports of a pending ceasefire.
“It is not true what some enemy media reported that Hamas agreed to a ceasefire on Thursday. No agreement or specific timings for the ceasefire were reached,” Izzat al-Rishq, a member of Hamas’s leadership, says in a statement.
The efforts to coordinate a ceasefire — led by the United Nations, Egypt, Qatar and other countries — are ongoing, al-Rishq says.
“While emphasizing that the efforts and contacts of the mediators are serious and continuous, the demands of our people are clear and well-known,” al-Rishq says.

多家知情人士援引知情人士的話說，美國總統喬·拜登和政府官員已鼓勵總理本傑明·內塔尼亞胡和其他以色列高級官員結束對加沙的轟炸，因為以色列和巴勒斯坦的死亡人數很高不斷增加，拜登（Biden）上的壓力越來越大，需要更加有力地行動以停止戰鬥。
美聯社援引拜登政府高級官員昨天和今天向以色列人強調，就國際反對以色列空襲和哈馬斯火箭彈為期9天的國際反對而言，他們的時機尚不成熟，因此，盡快結束行動符合他們的利益。這位官員說，並補充說，他們無權在私下談話中公開發表評論，並在匿名的情況下發表講話。
該賬目顯示，拜登政府官員私下里向內塔尼亞胡發送消息的方式比他們以前透露的要私密得多。白宮昨日宣讀了拜登對內塔尼亞胡的呼籲，稱拜登表示支持停火，但對美國敦促以色列結束戰鬥一事無動於衷。
同時，《紐約時報》引述兩個熟悉昨天的電話的兩名人士為例，據類似的報導，拜登警告內塔尼亞胡，他將無法忍受更長的國際壓力。
以色列高級官員引述以色列-哈馬斯停戰消息
由雅各布馬吉德和TOI人員
以色列高級官員說，除非有任何意料之外的事態發展，否則以色列與加沙恐怖組織之間的停火將於週四生效。
引述這位官員的話說：“沒有決定性的結果，不會有結果的。” “我們都累了。”
希伯來語的各種媒體都在報導-多數情況下沒有引用消息來源-確實預期在雙方在當前衝突中實現其主要既定目標後的2-3天內將達成停火。
但是，一位熟悉埃及為促成以色列與哈馬斯達成停火而努力的外交人士告訴以色列時報，談判仍在進行中，尚未達成任何協議。
12頻道的新聞引用了“外國報導”，但沒有詳細說明，稱總理本傑明·內塔尼亞胡已通知華盛頓，他已準備好從周四開始停火。
此前有報導稱，埃及已提議從周四凌晨6點開始休戰，哈馬斯也同意了這一提議。
以色列國防軍兩次試圖在當前戰鬥中殺死哈馬斯軍事聯隊負責人
通過猶大阿里毛
以色列國防軍認為，在本輪暴力衝突中，以色列國防軍試圖殺死哈馬斯軍事部門負責人穆罕默德·迪夫至少兩次，但兩次都毫髮無傷。
現在僅允許發布此信息。
以色列國防軍在加沙地帶針對哈馬斯的持續運動中，軍方表示，其主要目標之一是殺死恐怖組織的高級領導人，他們為了躲避以色列國防軍的襲擊而躲藏起來。
戴夫（Deif）因參與策劃和執行大量恐怖襲擊而在以色列最想要的名單上已有25年以上。以色列軍方認為戴夫是熟練的野戰指揮官。
在本月以色列兩次失敗嘗試之前，多年來，以色列安全部門曾試圖殺死戴夫至少五次。第一次嘗試是在2001年進行的，第二次嘗試是2002年進行的，這使他喪失了視力，一年之後又進行了第三次。在2006年進行的另一次罷工中，他受了重傷，失去了雙腿和一隻手臂的使用權。
2014年，在那一年的加沙戰爭期間，以色列再次企圖殺死戴夫（Deif），但差點想念他，殺了他的妻子、,中的兒子和3歲的女兒。儘管以色列最初認為戴夫也曾在罷工中喪生，但後來他確定自己確實還活了下來。

“如果您逼我到一個角落，問我認為成功有什麼合理的條件，我會說至少五年甚至更長的時間，”少將阿哈隆·哈利瓦（Aharon Haliva）告訴坎那廣播公司。
在一次坦率的直播採訪中，哈利瓦承認，軍方並未完全預期上週哈馬斯向耶路撒冷發射火箭的決定，並認為加沙執政的恐怖組織寧願在即將來臨的穆斯林開齋節前保持安靜。 -Fitr，以允許加沙地帶的居民和平共慶。

Egypt has asked Israel not to increase its attacks in the Gaza Strip, according to a report by the Al-Arabiya network early Tuesday morning.
This coincides with an announcement by Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh that he is ready for a de-escalation if Israel commits to it as well.
Egypt has been working to mediate a ceasefire between Israel and the Gaza Strip in recent days, even discussing the option with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday and US President Joe Biden on Monday.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Monday that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas might be within reach.
"Egypt is going to great lengths to reach a ceasefire between the Israelis and Palestinians - and hope still exists that a collective action could end the conflict," he said in an Al Arabiya interview.
"It is increasingly important to calm the spirits and end the violence and the killing," the Egyptian president added.
Over the weekend, Israeli and Arab media reported that Egypt had worked to negotiate a 12-hour ceasefire between the parties. Israel had objected to the deal's terms.
According to Al Arabiya, Egypt was preparing to send two security delegations to Tel Aviv and to Gaza, in another attempt to promote calm between Israel and Hamas.

US President Joe Biden spoke on Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It was the third conversation between the two leaders since the beginning of Operation Guardian of the Walls last week.
"The President reiterated his firm support for Israel’s right to defend itself against indiscriminate rocket attacks," the White House said in a statement.
"The President welcomed efforts to address inter-communal violence and to bring calm to Jerusalem. He encouraged Israel to make every effort to ensure the protection of innocent civilians," the statement read.
The two discussed the progress of Israel’s military operations against Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza, the White House said.
"The President expressed his support for a ceasefire and discussed US engagement with Egypt and other partners towards that end. The two leaders agreed that they and their teams would remain in close touch."
The call between the two leaders comes as the administration seek to promote a ceasefire. On Sunday and Monday, Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, discussed the situation with several senior officials in the region, including Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi and officials from Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and the EU.
In his conversation with Ashkenazi, Blinken discussed US efforts to bring an end to the violence, "which has claimed the lives of Israeli and Palestinian civilians, including children," the State Department said in a statement.
"The Secretary also expressed deep concern at the inter-communal violence," said Ned Price, the State Department spokesperson.
"The two discussed the path forward, and the Secretary noted that the United States would remain engaged with Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and other regional stakeholders as part of our diplomacy to ease tensions and put an end to the hostilities."
Handy Amr, the State Department's envoy to the region also met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and other Palestinian officials, the Department said in a statement.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said earlier on Monday that the United States shares with a range of countries around the world a commitment and a desire to bring an end to the violence.
"And how we are approaching this is through the prism, again, of what steps can we take; what actions can we take behind the scenes," she said.
"We've had over 60 calls in the past week, from the President on down, with senior leaders in Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and across the region; and how can we bring an end to the violence through our relationships in the region, both with the Israelis and the Israeli government and also with key other partners whether it's the Egyptians, the Qataris, and other key countries in the region," said Psaki.

哥本哈根-美國國務卿安東尼·布林肯週一說，美國正在“努力”制止以色列和巴勒斯坦激進分子之間的暴力衝突，並拒絕了有關華盛頓阻止聯合國外交的建議。
布林肯還在訪問丹麥時說，他沒有看到以色列提供的任何證據，暗示哈馬斯正在建築房屋媒體出口處-包括位於美國的美聯社-在以色列的一次導彈襲擊中被摧毀。週末。
他說，應該由其他人來權衡情報問題。
以色列說，其戰鬥機擊中了多層建築，“其中包含屬於哈馬斯恐怖組織情報局的軍事資產”。
以色列總理內塔尼亞胡週日對哥倫比亞廣播公司的廣播電台說，以色列將通過“情報服務”提供這種證明。尚不清楚以色列是否向美國提供了這一點。
眨眼說，美國正在全天候工作，以幫助結束暴力，但沒有透露任何細節。
當被問及為什麼美國阻止聯合國安理會譴責以色列軍方的聲明時，布林肯在與丹麥外交大臣的新聞發布會上說：“我們沒有阻礙外交，相反，我們實際上是在不停地進行外交。”回复。
華盛頓是以色列的堅強盟友，由於反對安理會發表公開聲明而被聯合國孤立，因為它擔心會損害幕後外交。
布林肯說，以色列有權捍衛自己，但他感到震驚的是，記者和醫務人員受到威脅，特別是在以色列摧毀了加沙設有許多媒體機構的塔樓之後。
布林肯說，美國已要求以色列提供有關這次襲擊的更多細節。
“罷工後不久，我們確實要求提供更多理由說明這一點。我不想在這個論壇上討論情報問題，這不是我的地方。我將把它留給其他人來描述是否共享了任何信息以及我們對該信息的評估。”他說。
IDF SPOKESPERSON準將 希代·齊伯曼（Hidai Zilberman）週日對軍方在加沙地帶的行動，尤其是周六媒體辦公室對Al Jala大樓的轟炸提出了批評。

COPENHAGEN - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday the United States was working "intensively" to end violence between Israel and Palestinian militants, and rejected suggestions that Washington was blocking diplomacy at the United Nations.
Blinken also said during a visit to Denmark that he had not seen any evidence provided by Israel on suggestions that Hamas was operating out of a building housing media outlets - including the US-based Associated Press - which was destroyed in an Israeli missile strike at the weekend.
He said it would be up to others to weigh on intelligence matters.
Israel said its fighter jets struck a multi-storey building "which contained military assets belonging to the intelligence offices of the Hamas terror organization."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CBS broadcaster on Sunday that Israel would provide such proof through "intelligence services". It was not clear whether Israel provided that to the United States.
Blinken said the United States was working round the clock to help put an end to the violence but gave few details.
"We're not standing in the way of diplomacy, on the contrary we are exercising it virtually non-stop," Blinken told a news conference with Denmark's foreign minister when asked why the United States had blocked a UN Security Council statement condemning Israel's military response.
Washington, a strong ally of Israel, has been isolated at the United Nations over its objection to a public statement by the Security Council because it worries it could harm diplomacy behind the scenes.
Blinken said Israel has the right to defend itself, but that he had been alarmed that journalists and medical workers had been put at risk, in particular after Israel destroyed the tower block in Gaza housing a number of media outlets.
The United States has requested additional details from Israel regarding the attack, Blinken said.
"Shortly after the strike we did request additional details regarding the justification for it. I wouldn’t want to weigh in on intelligence matters in this forum, it’s not my place. I will leave it to others to characterize if any information has been shared and our assessment of that information," he said.
IDF SPOKESPERSON Brig.-Gen. Hidai Zilberman on Sunday deflected criticism of the military's actions in the Gaza Strip, particularly the bombing of the Al Jala building with media offices on Saturday.
Magen David Adom rescue services said that 10 civilians have been killed since the beginning of the fighting and another 306 have been injured to varying degrees. One soldier has been killed.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza, 181 people have been killed since the fighting began, including 52 children and 31 women. Another 1200 have been injured.

美國和聯合國表示，他們為加沙停火而努力，當時他們向聯合國安理會召開的一次特別會議作了簡報，該會議幾乎是召集的，因為哈馬斯連續第七天用火箭彈襲擊以色列，而以色列國防軍發動了反擊。
聯合國琳達·托馬斯·格林菲爾德大使對15名聯合國安理會成員說：“美國一直在通過外交渠道不懈努力，以試圖結束這場衝突。” 她以美國負責以色列和巴勒斯坦事務的副助理秘書海迪·阿姆（Hady Amr）的身分在該地區，以幫助促成停火。他會見了本傑明·內塔尼亞胡總理和國防部長本尼·甘茨。
托馬斯·格林菲爾德說，白宮也參與其中。喬·拜登總統與內塔尼亞胡進行了交談，布林肯與以色列，巴勒斯坦和區域高級領導人進行了交談。這些努力是在與哈馬斯直接接觸的埃及和卡塔爾特使的基礎上進行的。
她說：“美國仍在與以色列，埃及和卡塔爾官員以及特別協調員及其團隊保持密切接觸。所有這些人都在努力確定和建立可持續的平靜條件。” 托馬斯·格林菲爾德（Thomas-Greenfield）解釋說，“當事各方尋求停火時，美國準備提供我們的支持和good旋，因為我們認為，以色列人和巴勒斯坦人同樣有權享有安全和保障。基本權利。”她說。
她呼籲結束哈馬斯的火箭彈射擊，並說“她對以色列混合社區內持續的社區間暴力感到關切”。
大使說：“我們敦促各方避免破壞和平未來的行動。” “這包括避免煽動，暴力襲擊和恐怖行為，以及在1967年線以東的驅逐行動（包括在東耶路撒冷）的強拆和定居點建設。至關重要的是，所有各方都必須維護和尊重聖地的歷史現狀。網站。”
聯合國秘書長安東尼奧·古特雷斯說：“聯合國正在積極與各方進行即時停火。敵對行動已經造成不合理的死亡，巨大的痛苦和重要基礎設施的破壞。” 哈馬斯連續第七天用火箭彈襲擊以色列，以色列國防軍發動反擊，他發了言。
古特雷斯說：“由於以色列對加沙的襲擊，巴勒斯坦平民傷亡人數不斷增加，其中包括許多婦女和兒童，我感到震驚。我也對以色列從加沙發射的火箭彈造成的死亡表示遺憾。”
他補充說，他還對以色列在西岸和東耶路撒冷的安全部隊之間的暴力衝突以及以色列和猶太公民之間的騷亂感到關切。
他說：“以色列安全部隊與包括東耶路撒冷在內的被佔領的西岸各地的巴勒斯坦人之間的暴力衝突令我深感關切，那裡一些巴勒斯坦家庭正面臨被驅逐的威脅，”他說。
古特雷斯說：“在以色列，警惕型團體和暴民的暴力行為為已經惡化的危機增添了可怕的面貌。各方領導人都有責任制止煽動性言論，並緩和不斷加劇的緊張局勢。”古特雷斯說。
埃及和約旦的代表以及以色列和巴勒斯坦權力機構的代表都參加了特別會議。
巴勒斯坦外交部長里亞德·馬爾基（Riyad Malki）指責以色列犯有戰爭罪，並呼籲聯合國安理會對以色列的行為負責，包括通過武器禁運或中止與以色列的關係。
以色列“已宣稱剝奪了我們的安全權。為什麼不讓自己陷入困境？如果您的國家被佔領，而您的人民遭到屠殺，您會怎麼做？” 他說。
“有多少巴勒斯坦人被殺足以譴責；憤怒的門檻是什麼？” 他問到一個事件，其中有一個家庭的九名成員被殺。
他說：“以色列不僅是軍事大國，而且是核大國。以色列受到鐵穹頂的保護，但巴勒斯坦人沒有安全的去處；需要保護和同情的是巴勒斯坦公民。”說。
馬爾基說：“巴勒斯坦的自由是通往和平的唯一途徑，聯合國安理會有道義上的責任來幫助巴勒斯坦人實現這一自由。”
以色列對聯合國和美國的駐華大使吉拉德·艾爾丹（Gilad Erdan）在理事會上談到了針對以色列的火箭彈襲擊的代價，並舉了一張16歲的以色列阿拉伯裔少年納迪恩·奧瓦德（Nadeen Awwad）的照片。星期。
埃爾丹說：“她正在研究生物學和化學，她夢想著改變世界。上週三，她被激進的聖戰恐怖組織哈馬斯謀殺。”
他解釋說：“在過去的一周中，成千上萬的以色列兒童和婦女縮在防空洞中，數千枚哈馬斯火箭彈降落在他們周圍。”
他問聯合國安理會成員，如果有一個與ISIS具有類似狂熱聖戰思想的組織轟炸北京，莫斯科或都柏林，並關閉巴黎，奧斯陸或倫敦的機場，他們會怎麼做？您希望安全理事會怎麼做？ ”
他說，哈馬斯不僅想摧毀以色列，而且還爭奪在約旦河西岸的權力，並取代巴勒斯坦權力機構。
埃爾丹（Erdan）指責哈馬斯（Hamas）在耶路撒冷的緊張局勢升級，並煽動聖殿山（Temple Mount）的暴力。以色列“珍惜宗教自由。在齋月期間，每年都有成千上萬的穆斯林在和平的聖地自由祈禱，”他說。
他說，以色列已盡最大努力消除首都的緊張局勢，其中包括拒絕最高法院就東耶路撒冷謝赫·賈拉（Sheikh Jarrah）鄰國四個巴勒斯坦家庭即將被驅逐一事進行聽證，這一舉動引起了國際關注。
埃爾丹說，它改變了耶路撒冷日遊行的路線，並阻止了猶太遊客進入該地點。
他說，哈馬斯的反應是向耶路撒冷發射火箭彈，並補充說，恐怖組織利用國際援助在操場，醫院和清真寺下面修建了地下隧道網絡，對平民進行襲擊。
以色列大使說，以色列已竭盡全力打擊軍事目標，並最大程度地減少了平民傷害。
他進一步指控哈馬斯呼籲以色列阿拉伯人攻擊猶太人，這導致了主權以色列內部的持續騷亂，其中還包括猶太人對阿拉伯人的攻擊。
他呼籲聯合國安理會譴責哈馬斯濫發火箭彈並要求加沙地帶非軍事化。
“您有兩種選擇。您可以通過要求各方克制，並且毫不含糊地譴責哈馬斯，在使生命成聖的民主國家的行為與為頌揚死亡的恐怖主義組織的行為之間造成虛假的道德對等–不道德的對等。 ，“ 他說。
或者，埃爾丹說：“您可以向哈馬斯發出一個明確的信息，即國際社會將不再接受其將巴勒斯坦兒童變成人盾，並利用學校，醫院和高層建築掩蓋其恐怖機器的戰略。您可以選擇通過要求加沙地帶非軍事化並堅持要求加沙政府擁有一個權力來支持加沙人民的福祉，而不是摧毀以色列國，從而支持更和平的未來。”
聯合國中東和平進程特別協調員托·溫尼斯蘭（Tor Wennesland）向安理會介紹了暴力造成的破壞。
他說，自5月10日以來，哈馬斯和加沙的其他激進組織從加沙地帶向以色列發射了2900枚不加選擇的火箭，當時殺死了9名以色列人，其中包括5名婦女和2個孩子，以及1名印度國民。他還說，有250多人受傷，其中23人重傷。
他說，以色列國防軍已經對“激進目標”進行了950多次罷工，其中包括武器工廠和倉庫，隧道網絡，哈馬斯培訓設施，情報和安全總部以及哈馬斯和巴勒斯坦伊斯蘭聖戰組織特工的辦公室和房屋。 ”
溫尼斯蘭德說，這樣的罷工已經殺死了100多個哈馬斯行動，因為他將巴勒斯坦人在加沙的整體死亡人數定為181。
他補充說，死者中還包括52名兒童和31名婦女，並說有34,000多人流離失所。
“由於軍事行動，七家工廠，四十所學校和至少四家醫院遭受了全部或部分破壞。至少有18座建築物，包括四座高層塔樓……其中一間是國際媒體，已被摧毀並翻倒。 350座建築物遭到破壞。” “根據以色列國防軍，這些建築物內有哈馬斯軍事設施。”

The White House has also been involved, Thomas-Greenfield said. President Joe Biden spoke with Netanyahu, and Blinken spoke with senior Israeli, Palestinian and regional leaders. Those efforts come on top of the Egyptian and Qatari envoys who have been in direct contact with Hamas.
"The United States remains intensively engaged with Israeli, Egyptian, and Qatari officials, as well as the Special Coordinator and his team – all of whom are working to define and establish conditions for a sustainable calm," she said. Thomas-Greenfield explained that the US is "prepared to lend our support and good offices should the parties seek a ceasefire, because we believe Israelis and Palestinians equally have a right to live in safety and security. The current violence has deprived both communities of this basic right," she said.
She called for an end to the Hamas rocket fire and said she was "concerned about the ongoing inter-communal violence within mixed communities in Israel."
"We urge all parties to avoid actions that undermine a peaceful future," the ambassador said. "This includes avoiding incitement, violent attacks and terrorist acts, as well as evictions – including in east Jerusalem – demolitions, and settlement construction east of the 1967 lines. And critically, all parties need to uphold and respect the historic status quo at the holy sites."
UN SECRETARY-GENERAL Antonio Guterres said the "United Nations is actively engaging all sides towards an immediate ceasefire. The hostilities have already caused unconscionable death, immense suffering and damage to vital infrastructure." He spoke as Hamas barraged Israel with rockets for the seventh day in a row and the IDF launched counter strikes.
"I am appalled by the increasingly large numbers of Palestinian civilian casualties, including many women and children, from Israeli strikes in Gaza. I also deplore Israeli fatalities from rockets launched from Gaza," Guterres said.
He added that he was also concerned by violent clashes between Israeli security forces in the West Bank and east Jerusalem as well as the rioting within sovereign Israel between Jewish and Arab citizens.
"I am also deeply concerned by violent clashes between Israeli security forces and Palestinians across the occupied West Bank, including east Jerusalem, where some Palestinian families are under threat of eviction," he stated.
"In Israel, violence by vigilante-style groups and mobs has added a further horrendous dimension to an already deteriorating crisis. Leaders on all sides have a responsibility to curb inflammatory rhetoric and calm the rising tensions," Guterres said.
Representatives from Egypt and Jordan were at the special meeting, as were those from Israel and the PA.
PALESTINIAN FOREIGN MINISTER Riyad Malki accused Israel of war crimes and called on the UNSC to hold Israel accountable for its actions, including through an arms embargo or the suspension of relations with Israel.
Israel "has claimed the rights to security it denies us. Why not put yourself in our shoes? What would you do if your country was under occupation and your people were massacred?" he said.
"How many Palestinians killed is enough for a condemnation; what is the threshold for outrage?" he asked as he pointed to an incident in which nine members of one family were killed.
"Israel is not only a military power, it is a nuclear power,' he said. Israel is protected by an Iron Dome, but the Palestinians have no safe place to go; it is the Palestinian citizens who needs protection and compassion," he said.
"Palestinian freedom is the only path to peace, and the UNSC has a moral duty to help the Palestinians achieve this freedom," Malki said.
ISRAEL'S AMBASSADOR to both the UN and the US Gilad Erdan spoke the council about the cost of the rocket barrage against Israel, holding up a photo of Nadeen Awwad, 16, an Israeli-Arab teen who was killed by a rocket along with her father last week.
"She was studying biology and chemistry, and she dreamed of changing the world. She was murdered last Wednesday by the radical, Jihadi terrorist group Hamas," Erdan said.
"Over the last week, millions of Israeli children, women and men, have been huddling in bomb shelters, while thousands of Hamas rockets landed all around them," he explained.
He asked UNSC members what they would do "if an organization with a similar fanatic jihadist ideology as ISIS, was bombing Beijing or Moscow or Dublin and shutting down the airports of Paris or Oslo or London? What would you expect the Security Council to do?"
Hamas, he said, not only wants to destroy the state of Israel, "it’s also vying to take power in the West Bank, and to replace the Palestinian Authority."
Erdan accused Hamas of escalating tensions in Jerusalem and of inciting violence on the Temple Mount. Israel "cherishes freedom of religion. Every year during Ramadan, and throughout the year, hundreds of thousands of Muslims are free to pray at their holy site in peace," he said.
Israel, he said, had done its best to diffuse tensions in the capital, including by denying a Supreme Court hearing on the pending eviction of four Palestinian families in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, which has gained international attention.
It rerouted the Jerusalem Day Parade and prevented Jewish visitors from accessing the site, Erdan said.
Hamas's response, he said, was to launch rockets at Jerusalem, adding that the terrorist group has used international aid to build an underground network of tunnels, beneath playgrounds, hospitals and mosques to carry out attacks against civilians.
Israel has done its best to strike military targets and to minimize civilian harm, the ambassador said.
He further charged that Hamas had called on Israeli Arabs to attack Jews, which had led to the ongoing rioting within sovereign Israel, which also included Jewish attacks against Arabs.
He called on the UNSC to condemn Hamas’s indiscriminate rocket fire and to demand the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip.
"You have two choices. You can create false moral equivalence – immoral equivalence – between the actions of a democracy that sanctifies life, and those of a terrorist organization that glorifies death, by calling for restraint on all sides, and failing to unequivocally condemn Hamas," he said.
Or, Erdan said, "You can send a clear message to Hamas that the international community will no longer accept its strategy of turning Palestinian children into human shields, and using schools, hospitals and high rises to hide its terror machine. You can choose to support a more peaceful future by demanding the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip and insisting on an authority in Gaza that invests in the well-being of the people of Gaza, rather than in the destruction of the State of Israel. "
UN SPECIAL COORDINATOR to the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland briefed the council on the damage caused by the violence.
Since May 10, Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza, he said, have launched over 2900 indiscriminate rockets from the Gaza Strip towards Israel, killing nine Israelis at the time, including five women and two children, and one Indian national. In addition, he said, over 250 people were injured, 23 were severely wounded.
The IDF, he said, has conducted over 950 strikes against "what it said were militant targets, including weapons factories and depots, tunnel networks, Hamas training facilities, intelligence and security headquarters and offices and homes of senior Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives."
Such strikes have killed over 100 Hamas operates, Wennesland said, as he placed the overall Palestinian death toll in Gaza at 181.
He added that the dead also included 52 children and 31 women and said that over 34,000 people had been displaced.
"As a result of the military operations, seven factories, 40 schools and at least four hospitals sustained complete or partial damage. At least 18 buildings, including four high-rise towers… one hosting international media outlets, have been destroyed and over 350 buildings damaged," Wennesland said. "According to the IDF, these buildings contained Hamas military installations."
在伊朗的支持下，無人機正成為對以色列的更大威脅-分析
伊朗通過複製美國無人機（例如“捕食者”或“前哨”）開創了無人機的先河。它還復制了在世界各地看到的其他無人機模型。

週二發生的事件是，無人駕駛飛機在到達邊界後在北部被擊落，這對以色列的無人機威脅越來越大。以色列國防軍在貝特謝安附近用一架阿帕奇直升機擊落了伊朗的無人機。
2018年2月，一架載有炸藥並從敘利亞T-4基地飛行的伊朗無人機也穿透了同一地區。
在加沙的這場戰爭中，以色列也不得不應對越來越多的無人機威脅。到星期一，至少有六架無人機被擊落。以色列在戰鬥中首次使用“鐵穹”擊落了至少一架無人機。一架F-16擊落了另一架。
無人駕駛飛機的威脅正在增加，它以伊朗的無人駕駛飛機為模型，伊斯蘭共和國在最近幾十年中率先進行了這種嘗試。
德黑蘭有幾條軍用無人機，其中一些用於監視。但是其中許多人是武裝的。
伊朗的無人機戰略是像巡航導彈一樣使用它們。您將它們裝滿炸藥，在上面放上陀螺儀和嚮導，然後它們飛到預先計劃的目標上。他們猛擊目標並炸毀。
這和第二次世界大戰的德國V-1火箭沒什麼兩樣，但是它有點複雜。
伊朗通過複製美國無人機（例如“捕食者”或“哨兵”）而成為先鋒。它還復制了在世界各地看到的其他無人機模型。此外，它還開發了一些自己的獨特模型。
例如，阿巴比爾（Ababil）無人機生產線已作為卡塞夫（Qasef）出口到也門的胡希斯（Houthis）。這架無人駕駛飛機是從鐵路或彈射器上發射出來的，飛行了數百公里進行襲擊。在最近的戰爭中，哈馬斯展示了其Shehab無人機，與Ababil和Qasef相似。
以色列不僅要與哈馬斯的無人機競爭，還要與近年來在黎巴嫩邊境發現的無人機以及其他從敘利亞飛入以色列領空的無人機競爭。
2018年7月，發生了兩起涉及從敘利亞飛往以色列的無人機的事件。以色列國防軍使用了“愛國者”導彈向他們射擊。其中一架在被愛國者擊落之前穿透了以色列領空幾公里。
以色列說，在這種情況下，它會在將無人機擊落之前對其進行監視。例如，5月18日的事件包括以色列國防軍的以下解釋：無人機碎片是由安全部隊收集的。”
雖然並非所有有關無人機威脅不斷增加的細節都一清二楚，但很顯然，過去三年來，以色列，敘利亞，黎巴嫩和加沙邊界的無人機活動呈上升趨勢。
以色列並不是唯一一個應對威脅的國家：沙特阿拉伯一直在面對伊朗支持的胡西無人機。
伊朗於2019年9月使用無人機和巡航導彈襲擊了沙特阿拉伯。駐伊拉克的親伊朗部隊已經在該國的美國設施上使用了無人機，其中包括今年至少進行了兩次無人駕駛飛機襲擊。德黑蘭在也門，伊拉克和加沙以及敘利亞和黎巴嫩支持所有這些措施。伊朗是一種將其無人機出口到該地區的無人機章魚。
伊朗的龍帶給戰場帶來了以前沒有的東西。在伊朗無人機受到威脅之前，主要問題是恐怖組織，例如ISIS改變了他們通過民用渠道購買的四軸飛行器的用途。
例如，美國中央司令部司令肯尼思·麥肯齊（Kenneth McKenzie）將軍警告了一年，在諸如Costco之類的大型商店購買的無人駕駛飛機是主要威脅。他指的是這些小型四軸飛行器，例如DJI系列。
這些無人機也可以用比樂高技術複雜得多的套件來製造。一旦構造完成，就可以對其進行編程，並且可以攜帶有效載荷，例如手榴彈。ISIS在2017年的摩蘇爾（Mosul）戰役中使用了類似的方法。這類無人機會被卡住，射程短。
伊朗的無人機威脅要大得多，其中包括無人機的大小和小型飛機的大小。它們在希伯來語中通常被稱為Malat或cli tais，本質上是大型的遙控飛機。但是，由於它們會通過一條預編程的路徑到達其目標，因此它們不一定會被卡住。
這意味著它們更像是巡航導彈。有時，它們被稱為“自殺”或“ kamikaze”無人機。有些也被稱為“遊蕩彈藥”，因為它們可以在飛向目標之前“遊蕩”在目標上。
但是伊朗的無人機並沒有真正游盪。他們只是飛入事物。以色列是其自己的遊蕩彈藥系列的先驅，是利用眾多反無人機系統防禦無人機的專家。
現在，這些包括鐵穹，無人駕駛圓頂，Re-Drone，無人駕駛警衛，Xtend的特種部隊使用的網絡射擊無人機，Skylock和其他系統。隨著威脅的增長，解決方案也在增加。
With Iranian support, drones are becoming a larger threat to Israel -analysis
Iran has pioneered drones by copying US drones, such as the Predator or Sentinel. It has also copied other drone models it has seen around the world.

An incident on Tuesday in which an unmanned aerial vehicle was shot down in the North after it approached the border represents a growing drone threat to Israel. The IDF shot down the Iranian UAV with an Apache helicopter near Beit She’an.
An Iranian drone carrying explosives and flown from Syria’s T-4 base in February 2018 also penetrated the same area.
Israel has had to contend with growing drone threats during this war in Gaza as well. By Monday, at least six drones had been shot down. Israel used Iron Dome for the first time in combat to take down at least one of the drones. An F-16 shot down another.
The drone threat is increasing, and it is modeled on Iran’s drone army, which the Islamic Republic has pioneered over recent decades.
Tehran has several lines of military drones, some of which are used for surveillance. But many of them are armed.
Iran’s drone strategy is to use them like cruise missiles. You pack them with explosives, put a gyroscope and guidance on them, and then they fly to a preplanned target. They slam into the target and blow up.
This is not unlike the German V-1 rocket of World War II, but it is a bit more complex.
Iran has pioneered them by copying US drones, such as the Predator or Sentinel. It has also copied other drone models it has seen around the world. In addition, it developed some of its own unique models.
The Ababil drone line, for instance, has been exported to the Houthis in Yemen as the Qasef. This drone is launched from a rail or catapult and flies several hundred kilometers to carry out an attack. Hamas has showcased its Shehab drones, which are similar to the Ababil and Qasef, during the recent war.
ISRAEL HAS had to contend not only with UAVs flown by Hamas but also drones that have been spotted on the Lebanese border in recent years and others that flew into Israeli airspace from Syria.
In July 2018, there were two incidents involving drones flying toward Israel from Syria. The IDF used a Patriot missile to shoot at them. One of them penetrated Israeli airspace for a few kilometers before being shot down by the Patriot.
In these cases, Israel says it monitors the drones before shooting them down. For instance, the May 18 incident included the following IDF explanation: “Earlier this morning, a UAV approaching the Israeli border in the Emek HaMa’ayanot area was intercepted after being monitored by the Israel Air Force. The UAV fragments were collected by security forces.”
While not all details are known about the increasing drone threat, it is clear that the last three years have seen an uptick in drone activity on Israel’s Syria, Lebanon and Gaza borders.
Israel is not alone in dealing with the threat: Saudi Arabia has been confronting the Iranian-backed Houthi drones.
Iran attacked Saudi Arabia in September 2019 using drones and cruise missiles. Pro-Iran forces in Iraq have used drones against US facilities there, including carrying out at least two drone attacks this year. Tehran is behind all of this in Yemen, Iraq and Gaza, as well as Syria and Lebanon. Iran is a kind of drone octopus exporting its drones around the region.
IRAN’S DRONES bring something to the battlefield that was not there before. Prior to the Iran drone threat, the main problem was terrorist groups such as ISIS repurposing quadcopters they bought via civilian channels.
For instance, US Central Command Commander Gen. Kenneth McKenzie has warned for a year that drones acquired off the shelf at big-box stores such as Costco are a major threat. He is referring to these small quadcopters, like the DJI line.
These drones can also be built with kits that are not much more sophisticated than Lego tech. Once constructed, they can be programmed and can carry payloads, such as a grenade. ISIS used things like this in the battle for Mosul in 2017. These kinds of drones can be jammed and have a short range.
The Iranian drone threat is much larger and includes drones the size of a person up to the size of a small plane. Often called malat or cli tais in Hebrew, they are essentially large, remote-controlled aircraft. However, because they fly a preprogrammed path to their target, they cannot necessarily be jammed.
That means they are more like a cruise missile. Sometimes they are referred to as “suicide” or “kamikaze” drones. Some are also called “loitering munitions” because they can “loiter” over a target before flying into it.
But Iran’s drones don’t really loiter; they just fly into things. Israel, a pioneer of its own lines of loitering munitions, is an expert in defending against drones with a plethora of anti-drone systems.
These now include Iron Dome, Drone Dome, Re-Drone, Drone Guard, Xtend’s series of net-shooting drones used by special forces, Skylock and other systems. As the threat grows, so does the solution.
參議院民主黨人呼籲以色列與哈馬斯立即停火

當“牆守衛行動”進入第八天時，一群29名參議院民主黨人在周日發表了一份簡短聲明，呼籲達成停火協議。
參議員在一份聯合聲明中說：“為防止平民進一步喪生，並防止以色列和巴勒斯坦領土上的衝突進一步升級，我們敦促立即停火。” 佐治亞州第一位猶太參議員喬恩·奧索夫（Jon Ossoff）領導了這封信。
簽署信的參議員包括新澤西州的科里·布克參議員，佛蒙特州的參議員伯尼·桑德斯和馬薩諸塞州的參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫。
週一，八名眾議院民主黨人加入了參議院同事的行列，並發表了另一項聲明，敦促拜登達成停火協議。簽署聲明的代表包括戴維·普賴斯（D-NC），芭芭拉·李（D-CA），勞埃德·多格特（D-TX）和艾倫·洛文塔爾（D-CA）。“最近在以色列和加沙爆發的暴力事件已導致數百人傷亡。無辜的生命已經喪失，”他們寫道。“極為必要的是立即實行停火，避免進一步流血。另一種選擇是無法想像的規模不斷擴大的人類悲劇。”
長期存在的問題需要引起注意，但首先要達成停火。我們敦促拜登政府最高層大膽領導並採取果斷行動。”
週日早些時候，美國總統拜登（Joe Biden）在穆斯林節日開齋節（Eid al-Fitr）上發布了一段視頻信息，稱他的政府正在與以色列，巴勒斯坦人和其他國家合作，以恢復平靜。總統說：“我們認為，巴勒斯坦人和以色列人同樣應享有安全與保障的生活，並享有平等的自由，繁榮與民主。” “我的政府將繼續與巴勒斯坦人和以色列人以及其他地區夥伴進行接觸，以實現持續的平靜。”
美國國務卿安東尼·布林肯週日與埃及，沙特阿拉伯和卡塔爾的高級官員就此事進行了 交談， 週一與約旦和突尼斯的外交部長進行了外交努力。
國務院在一份聲明中說，在與沙特外交大臣費薩爾·本·法漢·沙特的會談中，兩人“討論了為減輕以色列，西岸和加沙的緊張局勢並結束目前的暴力行為而正在進行的努力。”
以色列駐美國和聯合國大使吉拉德·埃爾丹（Gilad Erdan）週日在聯合國安理會講話，並表示，這並不是哈馬斯在躲藏在巴勒斯坦平民身後的同時，不分青紅皂白地向以色列平民發射致命的導彈。他說：“但是這次不一樣了。” “這完全是由哈馬斯預謀的，以便獲得政治權力。”
埃爾丹說：“這是哈馬斯發動的大規模，無端攻擊，不是由於涉及以色列的任何事件，而是由於巴勒斯坦內部的政治操縱。” “這次襲擊迫使以色列捍衛和保護其公民，並打擊哈馬斯的恐怖機器，以一勞永逸地制止他們的侵略。”
Senate Democrats call for an immediate ceasefire between Israel, Hamas

As "Operation Guardian of the Walls” enters its eighth day, a group of 29 Senate Democrats issued a short statement on Sunday, calling for a ceasefire agreement.
“To prevent any further loss of civilian life and to prevent further escalation of conflict in Israel and the Palestinian territories, we urge an immediate ceasefire,” the senators said in a joint statement. Jon Ossoff, the first Jewish senator from Georgia, led the letter.
Among the senators who signed the letters are Sen. Cory Booker from New Jersey, Sen. Bernie Sanders from Vermont, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts.
On Monday, eight House Democrats joined their Senate colleagues and issued another statement urging Biden to reach a ceasefire. Representatives David Price (D-NC), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), and Alan Lowenthal (D-CA) are among those who signed the statement. “The recent outbreak of violence in Israel and Gaza has led to hundreds of casualties. Innocent lives have been lost,” they wrote. “It is of the utmost necessity that an immediate ceasefire be put in place and further bloodshed averted. The alternative is an unfolding human tragedy of unimaginable dimensions.”
“Long-deferred issues demand attention, but a ceasefire comes first. We urge the Biden administration, at the highest levels, to boldly lead and take decisive action,” they added.
Earlier on Sunday, US President Joe Biden released a video message for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, saying that his administration is working with Israel, the Palestinians and other countries to restore calm. “We believe Palestinians and Israelis equally deserve to live in safety and security, and enjoy an equal measure of freedom, prosperity and democracy,” said the president. “My administration is going to continue to engage Palestinians and Israelis and other regional partners to work towards sustained calm.”
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke on Sunday with senior officials from Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Qatar about the situation, and on Monday with the foreign ministers of Jordan and Tunisia as part of his diplomatic efforts.
In his conversation with Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, the two “discussed the ongoing efforts to calm tensions in Israel and the West Bank and Gaza, and bring the current violence to an end,” the State Department said in a statement.
Israel’s Ambassador to the US and UN, Gilad Erdan, addressed the UN Security Council on Sunday and said that this is not the first time that Hamas has indiscriminately fired deadly missiles at Israeli civilians while hiding behind Palestinian civilians. “But this time it’s different,” he said. "It was completely premeditated by Hamas in order to gain political power."
It was “a massive, unprovoked assault by Hamas initiated not as a result of any incidents involving Israel, but due to internal Palestinian political maneuvering,” Erdan said. “This assault has forced Israel to defend and protect its citizens and strike Hamas’s terror machine in order to stop their aggression once and for all.”

上週發生 了嚴重的族裔間暴力，包括阿拉伯公民在羅德，海法和阿卡的暴動，以及猶太人對阿拉伯人的襲擊，一些穆斯林和猶太宗教領袖呼籲結束這種暴力。
一群宗教領袖上週發表了一項公開聲明，現在已有120名拉比，伊瑪目，謝赫和其他宗教領袖簽署了聲明，譴責暴力並呼籲停止所有此類行為。
該宣言是由阿克賈扎爾清真寺的伊瑪目謝赫·薩米爾·阿西（Sheikh Samir Asi）簽署的；前教育部長拉比·賽·皮龍（Rabbi Shai Piron）；共存的激進主義者拉馬拉的謝赫·阿布·哈利勒·塔米米（Sheikh Abu Khalil Tamimi）Maale Gilboa Yeshiva Yehudah Gilad的院長；巴勒斯坦商人，猶太和薩馬里亞商會聯合創始人謝赫·阿什拉夫·賈巴爾（Sheikh Ashraf Al Jabari）；信仰間合作的主要人物拉比·大衛·羅森（Rabbi David Rosen）等
“我們以清晰的聲音喊叫-不暴力！總體上不對破壞行為造成傷害，尤其是對聖地的傷害！不要盲目仇恨！不以宗教的名義煽動宗教，”宗教領袖寫道。
“我們所有人都知道，我們以色列人民，注定要通過合作，公平和相互尊重共同生活在這裡。即使我們之間在宗教和民族問題上存在嚴重分歧，我們也很清楚，我們所有人都必須至少按照“對您可恨的事，對您的同胞不做的事”的最小原則行事。”繼續。
“我們必須記住，我們都是我們父親亞伯拉罕的子孫，一個有信仰和善良的人。”
另外，該州伊斯蘭教法上訴法院的法官卡迪（伊斯蘭教士法官）穆罕默德·阿布·奧貝德譴責了暴力事件，並呼籲所有社區減輕緊張局勢。
阿布·奧貝德（Abu Obeid）寫道：“我們必須制止這些暴力行為，制止分歧和升級，並鎮定暴風雨的情緒。”
“多年來，尤其是近年來，我們設法編織了我們猶太人和阿拉伯人之間的美好關係，倡導公正，平衡的觀點，這些觀點基於接受彼此和不同的人，關於愛與人的觀點。尊嚴，爭取真正的和平，平靜，建設性的話語和同情心，”阿布·奧貝德（Abu Obeid）在他的故鄉納烏拉（Na'ura）所在的北部地區共存的努力中寫道。
“我們這個村莊的居民將繼續為雙方的祈禱而祈禱，兩個營地中的極端主義者都無法摧毀我們近年來建造的深層結構，並將繼續建立，堅強並保護它免受一切行為的侵害。暴力。”
貝特·莫拉沙（Beit Morasha）教育組織的宗教領袖論壇發布了一個視頻，宣稱“暴力在我的宗教中沒有地位。”
參加錄像帶的領導人包括拉哈特al-Noor清真寺的伊瑪目伊瑪目謝赫·賈馬爾·奧布拉（Sheikh Jamal al-Obra）；布里克爾宗教間對話研究所所長拉比·雅科夫·納根（Rabbi Yaakov Nagen）萊姆的伊曼紐爾聖公會主教教堂的佳能塞繆爾·範努斯牧師；以及位於加利利西部的阿拉伯al-Aramshe鎮的al-Ansar清真寺的伊瑪目謝赫·哈特姆·朱馬（Sheikh Hatem Jumaa）等人。

In the wake of the severe interethnic violence last week, including violent riots by Arab citizens in Lod, Haifa and Acre, and attacks by Jews on Arabs, several Muslim and Jewish religious leaders have called for an end to such violence.
A group of religious leaders issued a public statement last week which has now been signed by 120 rabbis, imams, sheikhs and other religious leaders denouncing violence and calling for an end to all such acts.
The declaration was signed among others by Sheikh Samir Asi, the imam of the al-Jazar mosque in Acre; former education minister Rabbi Shai Piron; Sheikh Abu Khalil Tamimi of Ramallah, a coexistent activist; Dean of the Maale Gilboa Yeshiva Yehudah Gilad; Palestinian businessman and co-founder of the Judea and Samaria Chamber of Commerce Sheikh Ashraf Al Jabari; and Rabbi David Rosen, a leading figure in interfaith cooperation, among others
“We call out in a clear voice - No to violence! No to vandalism in general and harm to holy places in particular! No to blind hatred! No to incitement in the name of religion,” the religious leaders wrote.
“We all understand that we, the citizens of Israel, are destined to live here together through cooperation, fairness and mutual respect. Even if there are deep disagreements between us on religious and national issues, it is clear to us that we must all act at least according to the minimal rule of ‘That which is hateful to you, not do to your fellow man’,” they continued.
“We must remember that we are all the children of Abraham our father, a man of faith and kindness.”
Separately, Qadi [Sharia judge] Muhammed Abu Obeid, a judge on the state’s Sharia court of appeal, denounced the violence and called for on all communities to reduce the tensions.
“We must stop these acts of violence, bring a halt to the divisiveness and escalation, and calm the stormy spirits,” wrote Abu Obeid.
“Over the years, especially recent years, we have managed to weave a fabric of wonderful relations between us, Jews and Arabs, to advocate fair, balanced opinions, which are based on accepting the other and those who are different, on love and human dignity, striving for true peace, calm, constructive discourse and empathy,” wrote Abu Obeid of
coexistence efforts
in the northern region where his home town of Na’ura is located.
“We residents of this village will continue to pray for sanity on both sides and that extremists in both camps will not unravel the deep fabric that we have built in recent years, and will continue to build, to stand strong and protect it against all acts of violence.”
And the forum of religious leaders of the Beit Morasha educational organization put out a video declaring that “Violence has no place in my religion.”
The leaders participating in the video included Sheikh Jamal al-Obra, Imam of the al-Noor mosque in Rahat; Rabbi Yaakov Nagen, director of the Blickle Institute for Interfaith Dialogue; Rev. Canon Samuel Fanous of the Emmanuel Anglican Episcopal Church in Ramle; and Sheikh Hatem Jumaa, imam of the al-Ansar mosque in the town of Arab al-Aramshe in the western Galilee, among others.
