🚨BREAKING | Israeli occupation forces bombed the Latin Monastery Church (Holy Family Church), the main Catholic church in the Old City of Gaza, where displaced Christian civilians were sheltering. An artillery shell struck the building directly, piercing the wall and exploding inside. Two elderly civilians, a man and a woman over sixty, were martyred in the blast. The church, a historic and active religious site, was deliberately targeted. Christian leaders in Gaza are calling on the international community to intervene and protect civilians and places of worship from further Israeli attacks.
