以色列準備'大規模戰爭':維基解密電報

維基解密揭示以色列大備戰
更新時間 2011年 1月 3日, 格林尼治標準時間14:13

由維基解密洩漏的美國外交電文稱,以色列曾經為中東大戰做準備。

挪威的一家報紙刊登了這份2009年11月份的電文,

電文說,以色列國防軍參謀總長阿胥肯納吉對一個到訪以色列的美國代表團表示,伊朗的遠程導彈對以色列是嚴重的威脅。

但他強調說,最直接的威脅則是來自真主黨和哈馬斯,因為他們都有接受伊朗的資金和武器援助。

電文還引用阿胥肯納吉的話說,中東的下一場戰爭將是在黎巴嫩和加沙地帶。

OSLO (AFP) – Israel's army chief told a US Congress delegation in late 2009 he was preparing for a large war in the Middle East, probably against Hamas or Hezbollah, leaked US diplomatic cables showed on Sunday.
奧斯陸(法新社) - 以色列的陸軍總司令在2009年年底告訴一美國國會代表團,他正在準備一場大型中東戰爭,可能是對哈馬斯或真主黨,洩漏的美國外交電報週日展示。
"I am preparing the Israeli army for a large scale war, since it is easier to scale down to a smaller operation than to do the opposite," Lieutenant General Gabi Ashkenazi was quoted as saying in a cable from the US embassy in Tel Aviv.
“我正在準備以色列軍隊作大規模戰爭,因為它是更容易去縮小到一較小的行動,多於反其道而行,“加比德系中將被引述所說,在來自特拉維夫美國大使館的一封電報。

The document, dated November 15, 2009, was quoted Sunday in Norwegian by Oslo-based daily Aftenposten, which said it had obtained WikiLeaks' entire cache of 251,187 leaked US embassy cables.

"The rocket threat against Israel is more serious than ever. That is why Israel is putting such emphasis on rocket defence," Ashkenazi told the US delegation led by Democrat Ike Skelton, the cable showed.

The army chief lamented that Iran has some 300 Shihab rockets that can reach Israel and stressed that the Jewish state would have only between 10 and 12 minutes warning in case of an attack.

However, it was Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon that posed the most acute threat, he cautioned.

According to the quoted cable, Hezbollah is thought to have more than 40,000 rockets, many of which are believed capable of reaching deep into Israel.

US officials meanwhile reportedly estimate the militant group has acquired an arsenal of around 50,000 rockets.

A 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel killed 1,200 Lebanese, many of them civilians, and 160 Israelis, most of them soldiers.

And in his comments made nearly a year after Israel on December 27, 2008 launched the deadly Gaza war, Ashkenazi said "Israel is on a collision course also with Hamas, which rules Gaza."

"Hamas will have the possibility to bombard Tel Aviv, with Israel's highest population concentration," he was quoted as saying.

The Gaza war -- a response to hundreds of rockets fired into the Jewish State -- killed some 1,400 mainly civilian Palestinians and 13 Israelis, 10 of them soldiers. It ended on January 18, 2009.

Israel had been harshly criticised for putting civilians at risk during fighting in the densely populated Gaza Strip.

However, in the cable leaked Sunday Ashkenazi is quoted saying Israel next time will not accept "any restrictions on warfare in populated areas," and insisted the army had never intentionally attacked civilian targets.
