Topics
以色列总理内塔尼亚胡:以色列拒绝国际社会停火呼吁,不会向哈马斯投降。以色列正在进行军事行动,目标是哈马斯的指挥部、弹药库和人质。 报道者:加沙地带的军事行动造成大量人员伤亡和基础设施破坏,具体战略仍不明确。以色列的军事行动对媒体记者造成严重威胁,多名记者遇难或被迫逃离。 五角大楼记者Tom Bowman:以色列的军事策略是先进行大规模空袭和导弹袭击,然后少量地面部队进入加沙,采取外科手术式打击。加沙冲突中,防御者(哈马斯)往往占据优势,因为他们熟悉地形并可以伏击进攻者。 众议院议长Mike Johnson:以色列局势需要立即关注,应优先处理对以色列的援助。共和党提出的对以色列的援助计划,将通过削减IRS预算来抵消支出,这并不常见。 白宫记者Franco Ordoñez:白宫认为共和党的提案是政治策略,并认为支持乌克兰和以色列对抗恐怖主义和独裁者是相关的。共和党内部对乌克兰援助存在分歧,反映出该党对强硬外交政策的立场转变。 NPR科技记者:谷歌CEO桑达尔·皮查伊在反垄断诉讼中作证,称谷歌与其他公司达成的协议是为了改善用户体验。美国政府指控谷歌滥用其垄断地位,通过与其他公司达成协议来维持其搜索引擎的市场主导地位。谷歌的垄断地位使其缺乏创新动力,导致消费者体验变差,小型搜索引擎难以与其竞争。

Israel's military strategy in Gaza is currently unclear, with some describing it as a surgical strike while others predict a full-scale invasion. The operation involves targeted strikes on Hamas infrastructure, including command posts and tunnels, while also attempting to rescue hostages. The conflict is complicated by the presence of hundreds of thousands of civilians, leading to concerns about civilian casualties.
  • Israel's military actions in Gaza are intensifying despite international calls for a ceasefire.
  • The Israeli strategy mirrors past examples of urban warfare, involving surprise attacks, the use of tanks and bulldozers, and attempts to isolate the enemy.
  • The presence of hostages and hundreds of thousands of civilians complicates the conflict, leading to concerns about civilian casualties.
