The Iranian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday called on the international community to urgently intervene to stop Israeli attacks on the blockaded Gaza Strip.
In a statement, ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi blamed the U.S. support and silence of some regional countries for Israel’s “terror and series of crimes”.
He called for “an urgent international intervention to stop the terror and war machines of the Zionist regime.”
At least four Palestinians were martyred in renewed Israeli attacks in Gaza on Monday following rocket fire from the seaside territory.
The Israeli army said more than 20 people were injured by rocket fire from Gaza.
Monday’s attacks came one day after seven Palestinians and an Israeli soldier were killed in an undercover Israeli operation in the blockaded enclave.
Since March, more than 200 Palestinians have been martyred and thousands more injured by Israeli army fire during protests demanding the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their ancestral home in what is now Israel.
