Head of the Palestinian general security services in the Gaza Strip Wednesday called on the international community to intervene and put an end to the Israeli raids carried out in the north strip.

Abdel-Razaq Al-Majayda denounced the Israeli military operation in Beit Lahiya, north of the strip, saying "I denounce this ugly crime that killed 11 Palestinians and injured 45 others."

"The immoral operation contravenes with all the international resolutions and human rights laws," he added.

Palestinian security sources said the Israel Army opened its heavy artillery fire and Apache helicopter rockets against Palestinians in Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun.

Six Palestinians were killed on Wednesday during the Israeli Army raid in the northern areas of the Gaza Strip, raising the death toll of Palestinians killed since Tuesday to 11.

Medical sources said the death toll was likely to rise.
