Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said all restraints are off and thousands of Israeli troops have massed along the Gaza border. The sudden escalation is the most serious threat yet to a 5-month-old truce that had drastically reduced Palestinian-Israeli violence after more than four years of bloodshed.

　　More than 100 rockets and mortars have rained down on Gaza settlements and Israeli villages just outside the territory in the last four days. Hamas leaders say they are retaliating for Israeli violations of the truce.

　　Sabotage表示“从事破坏活动，蓄意破坏，妨害”，例如：Enemy agents sabotaged the arms factory.（敌特蓄意破毁了军工厂。
）；sabotage peace（破坏和平）；sabotage an agreement（破坏协定）。

　　据悉，博伊姆在接受以色列电台采访时说，本周末，以军步兵和包括坦克在内的装甲部队已在加沙附近集结完毕。巴勒斯坦当局需要认真转变态度，否则以色列的大规模军事行动将不可避免。
