Shocking pictures have shown dead children being pulled from the wreckage of homes in Gaza after another night of air strikes in the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The Israeli military last night continued strikes on the Gaza Strip - while Hamas fired rockets back - as the latest conflict moved into its seventh day. Israel said last night they targeted the home of a top Hamas leader, as its president vowed to continue launching airstrikes on Gaza. Military forces said they targeted the home of Yehiyeh Sinwar, in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza Strip last night. Sinwar is the most senior Hamas leader inside the territory. The Israeli military also launched a strike on the home of his brother. It comes as the UN Security Council - the UN body charged with ensuring international peace and security - is set to meet to discuss the conflict. The meeting will be public and is thought will include both Israeli and Palestinian participants, according to the Associated Free Press (AFP). This morning, photographs, which are too graphic to publish, show dead children being pulled from the wreckage of homes in Gaza after Israeli air strikes last night. Other pictures show rescuers helping injured children from bombed out homes. According to the Gaza health ministry, 174 Palestinians have died since the start of the conflict on Monday. Among the people killed are 47 children, it said. In Israel, 10 people have been killed in total, with barrages of rockets fired from Gaza.
