原文： https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/16/israel-strikes-syria-defence-ministry-in-third-day-of-attacks-on-the-country 以色列第三天袭击叙利亚国防部。
One person killed and 18 injured, say Syrian officials, as Israel intervenes in clashes between government forces and Druze fighters
叙利亚官员称，以色列介入政府力量和德鲁帮的冲突，已经造成了 1 人死亡和 18 人受伤。
The Israeli military struck the Syrian defence ministry in Damascus twice on Wednesday as it intervened in the clashes between the Syrian army and Druze fighters in southern Syria in the country’s deadliest violence in months.
周三，以色列军队两次在大马士革打击了叙利亚国防部，当时以色列在叙利亚南部干预了叙利亚军队和布鲁氏武装分子的冲突，这是叙利亚这个国家数月以来最严重的暴力事件。
The strikes collapsed four floors of the ministry and ruined its facade. The strikes killed one person and injured 18, Syrian officials said.
该袭击导致该部门（大楼）四楼倒塌且正面被毁。叙利亚官员说，本次袭击造成一人死亡 18 人受伤。
It was the first time Israel had targeted Damascus since May and the third day in a row it had conducted airstrikes against the Syrian military.
这是自从五月以来以色列首次袭击大马士革，也是以色列连续第三天对叙利亚军队组织空袭。
A spokesperson for the Isxistry had been a message to the Syrian president, Ahmed al-Sharaa “regarding the events in Sweida”. The Israeli military struck Syrian tanks on Monday and has continued to conduct dozens of drone strikes on troops, killing some soldiers.
以色列军队的话事人表示本次对国防部的袭击是关于 Sweida 事件对叙利亚总统 Ahmed al-Sharaa 的一次传信。以色列军队在周一共计了叙利亚的坦克并持续组织几十家无人机攻击叙利亚的军队，杀死了一些士兵。
Israel has said it will not allow the Syrian army to deploy in the south of the country, and that it would protect the Druze community from the Damascus government. Many in the Druze community have rebuffed Israel’s claim of patronage for fear of being viewed as a foreign proxy.
以色列说他们不会允许叙利亚军队部署在该国南部，并保护 Druze 社区免受大马士革政府的侵害。许多 Druze 社区的人拒绝了以色列的赞助要求，因为他们害怕被视为外国代理对待。
The Israeli bombing added another complication to an already escalating conflict between Syrian government forces, Bedouin Arab tribes and Druze fighters. More than 250 people have been killed in four days of clashes, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
以色列不断的轰炸使叙利亚政府，Bedouin 阿拉伯部落和 Druze 武装分子之间本就持续升级的冲突雪上加霜，根据英国叙利亚人权观察组织称，连续四天的冲突已造成超过 250 人丧生。
On Wednesday, the Syrian government and one of the three spiritual leaders of the Syrian Druze community announced a ceasefire. It was unclear if the truce would hold, however, as another spiritual leader, Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri, vowed to keep fighting, calling the government a collection of “armed gangs”.
周三，叙利亚政府和叙利亚的 Druze 社区的三位精神领袖之一宣布停火。尚不清楚停火是否会持续，然后，作为另一位精神领袖的 Sheikh Hikmat al-Hijri，发誓会继续战斗，称以色列政府是一群武装团伙。
A ceasefire announced on Tuesday broke down in similar circumstances.
在周二宣布的停火也在相似的情况下崩溃了。
On Wednesday night, Reuters reported that the UN security council would meet on Thursday to discuss the situation.
路特社(Retuers)周三晚报道称，联合国理事会将会在周四召开会议讨论这一局势。
The clashes pitting mostly Sunni government forces against Druze fighters have prompted fears of a wider sectarian conflict. An attack in March by remnants of the ousted regime of Bashar al-Assad on security forces led to violence in which more than 1,500 people were killed, most of them from the minority Alawite community.
以 Sunni 为主的政府军和 Druze 武装分子之间的冲突引发了人们对更大范围宗教冲突的担忧。三月，被推翻政权 Bashar al-Assad 的残余势力对安全政府发动袭击，引发暴力冲突，造成超过 1500 人死亡，其中大部分来自 Alawite 少数群体。
The violence is the most serious challenge to Damascus’s rule since the coastal massacres and has threatened to further push away everyday Druze from the state.
此次暴力事件是大马士革自沿海大屠杀以来统治上最严重的挑战，并且可能有进一步将 Druze 人从该国家驱逐出境的威胁。
The Druze, a religious minority in Syria and the wider Middle East, make up the majority of the population of Sweida province in the south of the country. They have been negotiating with the Islamist-led authorities in Damascus since the fall of Assad, in an attempt to achieve some form of autonomy. They have yet to reach an agreement that defines their relationship with the new Syrian state.
Druze 是叙利亚和广泛中东地区的宗教少数群体，构成了 Sweida 省南部的大部分人口。自阿萨德倒台以来，他们已经和伊斯兰主义领导当局进行了谈判，试图达成某种形式的自治。他们尚且达成协议来确定与新叙利亚国家之间的关系。

The Syrian army entered Sweida on Sunday in an attempt to restore calm between Druze fighters and Arab Bedouin tribes.
叙利亚军队于周日进入 Sweida 并试图恢复 Druze 武装分子与阿拉伯 Bedouin 部落之间的平静。
Fighting broke out after Bedouin tribe members robbed a Druze man on the main road south of Damascus, kicking off a cycle of retaliatory violence between the two groups. Intermittent violence between members of the Druze and Bedouin communities has been common in the area in recent years.
Bedouin 部落成员于南部大马士革主干道上抢劫了一位 Druze 人，随后双方爆发了冲突。并开始了报复性暴力循环。这几年这个区域经常发生 Druze 和 Bedouin 社区成员之间的间接性暴力。
Some Druze militias have vowed to prevent Syrian government forces entering Sweida and have attacked them, leading to escalating clashes.
一些 Druze 民兵誓言组织叙利亚政府军进入 Sweida 地区并且已经袭击了他们，导致冲突升级。
As government forces entered Sweida, accounts of human rights abuses began to emerge.
随着政府军进入 Sweida 地区，侵犯人权的报道开始出现。
On Tuesday around noon, armed gunmen entered a reception hall belonging to the Radwan family in Sweida and killed 15 unarmed men and one woman, three members of the family told the Guardian. The SOHR also reported the killings, though put the number of dead at 12.
周二中午，武装的枪手进入了属于 Radwan 家族在 Sweida 地区的接待厅并杀死了 15 位手无寸铁的男子和一名女子，三位 Radwan 家族分子告诉了《卫报》。叙利亚人权观察组织也报道了此次杀戮，但死亡人数为 12。
“I just lost nine close friends and relatives. It just makes me feel so sad. There are no weapons allowed in the [hall], it’s not like it’s a military base,” said Maan Radwan, a 46-year-old London resident whose relatives were killed in the shooting.
“我刚刚失去了九位亲朋好友。这使我非常难过。在大厅中不允许携带武器，这又不是军事基地。”马安·拉德万说，一个在本次枪击事件中亲属丧生的伦敦居民。
Video of the aftermath of the shooting showed unarmed men strewn across a room lying in pools of blood. Family members said men in army fatigues prevented ambulances from reaching the reception hall, which they thought was meant to ensure the wounded died from blood loss.
枪击事件事后的录像显示，手无寸铁的男子散落在房间里倒在血泊当中。家族成员说一些身穿军装的人阻止救护车到达接待大厅，他们认为这是为了确保伤者因失血过多而死。
“We don’t know who is with general security, who are jihadists, who are Bedouin tribespeople. It’s impossible to tell who is killing us,” a 52-year old teacher and relative of the Radwan family in Sweida told the Guardian by phone.
“我们不知道谁负责一般安全，谁是圣战分子，谁是 Bedouin 部落的人。不可能知道是谁杀害了我们“， Radwan 家族在 Weida 的亲戚，一个 52 岁的老教师通过电话告诉卫报。
A surgeon at the Sweida national hospital said that the bodies of those killed in the Radwan house bore close-range gunshot wounds, adding that they knew many of those who were killed in the shootings personally.
一个 Sweida 国家医院的外科医生说那些在 Radwan 家死亡的人的身体上都有近距离的抢伤，并补充到他们知道很多在枪击事件中丧生的人。
Sharaa issued a statement on Wednesday condemning the human rights violations.
Sharaa 周三发表声明谴责对人权的侵犯行为。
“These criminal and illegal actions cannot be accepted under any circumstances and completely contradict the principles that the Syrian state is built on,” the statement said, adding that perpetrators would be held accountable.

The US special envoy for Syria, Tom Barrack, posted on X saying: “Actions must follow to end violence, ensure accountability and protect all Syrians.”
英国叙利亚特别使者，Tom Barrack，在推特上发文：”必须采取行动制止暴力，确保追究责任并保护所有叙利亚人民。“
It was unclear who was committing the abuses against civilians, and witnesses said they could not distinguish between state security forces and militia fighters.
目前尚不清楚是谁对贫民实施了虐待，目击者称他们无法区分政府军和民兵。
On their private social media, two members of the government forces posted sectarian hate speech against Druze.
在他们的私人社交媒体上，两位政府军成员发布了对 Druze 的宗教仇恨言论。
One member of the government forces posted a video of him and two other soldiers driving through Sweida laughing as he said: “We are on our way to distribute aid,” while brandishing a machete to the camera. He filmed himself inside a house in Sweida ripping a picture of Druze spiritual leaders off a wall and trampling it with his boots.
一位政府军人员发布了一则视频，视频中他和其他两位士兵正开车前往 Sweida 并大笑着说：”我们正前往分发援助的路上“，同时向相机挥舞着砍刀。他拍摄了他在 Sweida 的一所房子里从墙上剥下 Druze 精神领袖的画像并用靴子践踏它。
“If God grants you victory, none can defeat you. We are coming for you with sectarianism,” he continued.
”如果上帝赐予你胜利，没有人可以击败你。我们会带着宗教主义来找你们”，他继续说到。
The Syrian defence ministry said it was “adhering to rules of engagement to protect residents”.
叙利亚国防部分说表示”遵守交战规则以保护平民“。
Several civilians in Sweida city described being locked inside their home as fighting continued outside, while electricity and other basic supplies have been cut off.
几位 Sweida 市民描述，由于外面仍在战斗，他们被锁在家中，电力和其他基本供应基本被切断。
One 52-year-old English teacher said they had watched as their neighbour was shot dead by a hidden sniper, and that no one could collect the body for fear of being shot.
一个 52 岁的老英语教师说他们看到他们的邻居被一个隐藏的狙击手射杀。然而因为害怕被射死，没有人敢去收集尸体。
A 31-year-old resident of Sweida said he watched as armed men burned the shop below his house, calling the Druze “swine” as they ransacked the neighbouring building.
一个 31 岁的 Sweida 居民说他看到武装分子烧毁了他家下面的商店，并称 Druze 为 ”猪猡“ 因为他们将邻近的建筑物洗劫一空。
The Syrian interior ministry said the continued fighting could only be solved by integrating the Druze-majority province into the state and said it came “in the absence of relevant official institutions”.
叙利亚内政部表示只有将拥有大部分 Druze 人的省份并入这个国家才能解决这场持续的战争。并表示这是在”缺乏相关官方机构“的情况下做出的。
The killings in Sweida provoked anger among the wider Druze community in the Middle East. Some Israeli Druze in the occupied Golan Heights managed to cross the fence into Syria before being retrieved by the Israeli army. The Israeli military also said that it had reinforced its presence along the Syria-Israel border.
Sweida 发生的屠杀激起了中东地区 Druze 人的愤怒。一些以色列 Druze 人在被占领的 Golan 高地试图跨过围栏进入叙利亚然后被以色列军队救回。以色列军队表示他们已加强了叙利亚-以色列边境的驻扎。
Members of the Israeli Druze community gather at the border fence separating the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights and Syria.

”不要跨越边境。你们在拿声明冒险；你们会被杀死，你们会被裹挟为人质，你们还在阻碍以色列国防军队的努力“，他提到。
Relations between Israel and Syria had begun to thaw before this week, with Israeli and Syrian officials engaging in security discussions and military coordination. Syria’s leadership has hinted it could eventually normalise relations with its southern neighbour.
本周之前，通过以色列和叙利亚之间的安全讨论与军事协调，以色列和叙利亚之间的关系开始缓和。叙利亚的领导阶层还暗示了他们可能与南部邻国的关系实现关系的正常化。
