Almost half of Israelis want to hold off on any invasion of Gaza, according to a poll published on Friday, in what may indicate a dip in support for the planned next stage of the counter-offensive against Hamas militants holding some 200 hostages.

根據週五發佈的一份民調，幾乎一半以色列人希望暫緩任何入侵加薩的行動；這份民調或許顯示出，針對計畫中反擊挾持約200名人質的哈瑪斯好戰份子，下一階段行動的支持度降低。

Asked if the military should immediately escalate to a large-scale ground offensive, 29% of Israelis agreed while 49% said "it would be better to wait" and 22% were undecided, the poll published in the Maariv newspaper said.

這份在「晚禱報」公布的民調說，被問到軍方是否應該立即升高到大規模地面入侵，29％的以色列人同意，49％的受訪者說「最好等一等」，22％尚未決定。

Bobi, who was this year ordained the oldest dog in the world by Guinness World Records, has died at the ripe old age of 31, his owner said.

今年被金氏世界紀錄認證為世界最老狗狗的波比，已以31歲高齡辭世，他的飼主說。

Bobi lived on a farm in the village of Conqueiros in Portugal with Leonel Costa and four cats. He was born on May 11, 1992, when his owner was just 8 years old.

波比與李歐內‧柯斯塔及4隻貓生活在葡萄牙凱魯斯村的一座農場。他出生於1992年5月11日，當時他的飼主年僅8歲。

In an interview earlier this year, Costa told the Associated Press that Bobi’s secret to a long life was good food, fresh air and lots of love. “Bobi eats what we eat,” said Costa. What’s more, Bobi had never been put on a leash.

今年初柯斯塔受訪時，告訴美聯社說，波比的長壽秘訣是好的食物、新鮮空氣與許多的愛。「我們吃什麼，波比就吃什麼，」柯斯塔說，更重要的，牠從未被狗鏈拴住過。

Bobi claimed the Guinness World Record from Bluey, an Australian cattle dog, who died in 1939 aged 29 and had held the record for almost a century.
