On the seventh day of armed conflict between Israel and the Palestinian armed faction Hamas, at least 159 people were killed on both sides.
According to Reuters, at least 149 people, including 41 children, have died in Palestine to date, and 10 people have died in Israel, including two.
It is known that Israel continued air raids in the early morning of the 16th and bombed the home of Hamas leader Yehiah al-Sinwar.
According to Palestinians, an Israeli air raid that day killed a neurologist in Gaza and injured his family.
On the previous day, Israel destroyed a 12-story building in which a number of foreign media, including the US Associated Press and Qatar state-run Al Jazeera Broadcasting, moved in by air raid.
The UN has again called on both sides to stop armed conflict and urged that civilian victims should not come out.
UN Secretary-General Antony Guterchs stressed that "targeting attacks on civilians or media outlets should not be in any case due to violations of international law."
