How many more dead corpses of Palestinians does the international community need to see in order to act?
How many more cruelties and violations of Human Rights, Regulations and International Law will be needed to intervene so this ongoing warcrime is being stopped once and for all?

GAZA, (PIC)– The Palestinian Center for Human Rights has called for international intervention as Israel escalates new attacks on the Gaza Strip.
The PCHR said in a statement on Sunday that Israel has been targeting civilians and civilian property in various locations in the Gaza Strip, launching eight airstrikes in the past few days that killed one civilian and injured 20 others, including five children.
The strikes also hit three training sites used by resistance forces as well as barns and partially destroyed a home and caused minor damages on scores of other homes and structures.
The most recent attack took place on Sunday morning in Beit Hanoun. In it, a private well was destroyed and nine Palestinian civilians were injured.
The PCHR emphasized that the recent attacks amount to a major violation of international law and questioned whether Israel is obliged to comply with the international law, given that civilians were deliberately targeted in the attacks.
The statement calls on the international community to urgently intervene to protect the civilians targeted in the Gaza Strip as attacks continue almost daily.
Also on Sunday, Israeli warplanes dropped notices threatening to target civilians who come 300 meters from the Israeli security fence in the eastern Gaza Strip.
They dropped other notices inciting against resistance forces and claiming that they have been digging tunnels.
