本月上旬美国媒体报道称，两名以色列官员日前透露，美国政府已在上周暂停向以色列运送美国制造的弹药。    KYIV, Ukraine -- Ukraine has used U.S.-supplied ATAMCS long-range missiles for the first time in its war against Russia, hitting two Russian airbases in occupied Ukrainian territory in strikes that Ukraine and some Russian sources said had caused significant damage.The missiles hit a Russian military airfield in Berdyansk in southern Ukraine and another in Lugansk in the northeast on Tuesday, according to both Russian and Ukrainian officials.Ukraine's General Staff said the attacks had destroyed nine helicopters, as well as an ammunition dump, air defense system and also damaged the airfield's runways. Russian officials did not provide details on the scale of the damage, but one prominent Russian pro-war blogger wrote the strikes were perhaps the most serious against Russian military aviation since the start of the invasion.The Biden administration has quietly delivered the ATACMS to Ukraine after months of resisting Kyiv's requests. During Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to Washington, D.C., last month, U.S. officials told reporters a small number would be sent but no formal announcement was made.Zelenskyy confirmed ATACMS had been used in Tuesday's strikes in his evening address and thanked the U.S."And today I am especially grateful to the United States. Our agreements with President Biden are being implemented. And they are being implemented very accurately -- ATACMS have proven themselves," Zelenskyy said.The ATACMS, or Army Tactical Missile Systems, come in several varieties with ranges from 100 to 190 miles. The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday the version given to Ukraine had roughly 100 miles, but that was still more than twice as far as the munitions the U.S. has previously sent.Ukraine had argued for months that it needed the ATACMS to assist its counteroffensive by allowing it to target Russia's airbases, supply lines and ammunition depots far behind Russia's lines and undercut Russia's advantages in air superiority and firepower.The strikes on Tuesday appeared to back up Ukraine's requests for the missiles, hitting bases that house Russian attack helicopters that have played an important role in blunting Ukraine's counteroffensive. Russia has used the helicopters, which are able to fly beyond the range of Ukraine's air defenses, to strike Ukraine's armor as it tries to advance.Video circulating online, and that two Ukrainian government sources confirmed as from the Berdyansk airfield following the strikes, appeared to show a number of helicopters burning and large fires.Besides the immediate destruction of some of those helicopters, Tuesday's strikes may also now force Russia to base them further back from the front line out of concern they could be targeted.The Biden administration had been reluctant to supply the ATACMS because of concerns that providing longer-range weapons might provoke Russia into a wider conflict and that the U.S. stocks of the missiles were insufficient to share without undercutting its own ability to defend itself. The administration's resistance followed a similar pattern throughout the war that has seen it eventually relent after months of Ukrainian lobbying to provide key weapons, first with HIMARS missile artillery and more recently F-16 fighter jets.The concern about escalation from Russia has faded over the months, in particular after Britain and France provided their own long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine.Ukraine's commander-in-chief, Valeriy Zaluzhniy, on Tuesday evening published a video showing the ATACMS launch with the caption: "Thank you to our partners. Together to victory."。这当然不是他们“良心发现”，而是在强大的民意压力下做出的决定。在今年2月的密歇根州民主党党内初选中，超过10万人投票给“不作承诺”选项，拜登政府的票仓收到了严重的威胁。但就事实而言，美国暂停援助只是“一时半会”的，他们现在正在找改变自身形象的机会，仅此而已。

消息提到，美国对以色列的“容忍度”非常之高，4月初两辆WCK的车辆在加沙非冲突区行驶时遭到以色列国防军空袭，共7名援助人员死亡，遇难者分别来自澳大利亚、英国、波兰和巴勒斯坦，还有一人为美国和加拿大双国籍。

二 | 即使是美国人员死亡，且在以色列如此明目张胆的轰炸之下而死亡的，美方都没有对以色列有任何苛责。同样也是因为这件事，全球对以色列的态度发生了更加恶化的转变，这是在各方的眼皮底下犯下的罪行。

10日，拜登政府发了一份特殊的声明：美国正在对以色列潜在的违法行为进行调查，美国“有理由评估”以色列军队在加沙地带“以不符合国际人道主义法的方式”使用美国武器，但美国没有正式表示以色列违反了国际人道主义法。换句话说就是美国怀疑武器被以色列滥用来屠戮平民，这种情况下他们必须要进行调查。总体来说这是拜登政府官员一次非常明显的态度变化，之前美国从没有任何涉及或者“擦边”指控以色列屠杀平民的内容。

分析人士表示，拜登急于将自己从整个事情中摘出来，已经到了不惜“卖以色列”的地步。从WCK人员死亡之后，西方媒体也彻底洗白不了了，美国军援就真的成为资助以色列谋杀平民的国家。拜登做了两件事：其一是停止对以色列的军事援助，用行动表示“我们不给以色列运送武器”，其二是转头指控以色列政府可能真的涉嫌参与杀害平民，各种行为可以说是非常果断。这份报告对以色列军事行动造成的伤亡提出批评，报道称，该调查结果标志着“美以关系的又一个严峻时刻”。

值得一提的还有，观察人士则认为各方不需要寄希望于美国“离开以色列很远”，两国之间的关系决定他们完全捆绑在一起，美方只是担心引火烧身而已，不是要和以色列分道扬镳。拜登政府宣布推迟原定于5月8日向美国会提交的一份报告，内容是评估以色列使用美国武器时是否违反美国法律或国际人道法，以后都要“检查”一遍。对此有评论称：“即使以方不听劝阻发动大规模地面进攻，美国仍将继续提供各种武器，他们的话是说给外界听得，并不是做给自己看的。
