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。

The daily said the results contrasted with its Oct. 19 poll that found 65% support for a major ground offensive. (Reuters)

該報指出，這個結果與其10月19日的調查截然不同，當時的調查顯示，65％的受訪者支持大規模地面入侵行動。（路透）
