TEHRAN (Defapress) - In the latest round of brutal violence by the Israeli regime in the Gaza Strip, an Israeli army helicopter launched a deadly attack on refugee camps in the Beit Lahia area in northern Gaza on Monday evening, killing and wounding a number of residents, according to local sources.

Field sources announced that the attack took place in the late hours of the night and targeted tents where displaced residents from the conflict areas in southern Gaza had taken refuge.

It is said that the intensity of the explosion was so strong that its sound was heard in different parts of the city, and all the tents were completely destroyed.

This attack is being carried out within the framework of the extensive military operations of the Zionist occupation, which have been ongoing for months and have so far resulted in the martyrdom of thousands of civilians and the widespread destruction of the infrastructure of the Gaza Strip.

Other areas, including Khan Yunis and the al-Maghazi camp, have also been targeted by similar attacks in recent days; attacks that have included residential homes and refugee tents, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in these areas.

Human rights organizations, expressing serious concern about the continued targeting of civilians, called for an immediate ceasefire and the creation of conditions for the unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid.

Meanwhile, the United Nations called for an independent and international investigation into these attacks and the possible violation of international humanitarian law.

On the other hand, as these tensions continue, international efforts to return the parties to the negotiating table and find a peaceful solution to end the suffering of civilians continue.
