🚨🇮🇱 POPE: “BARBARITY OF WAR” MUST END AFTER STRIKE ON GAZA CHURCH

A deadly Israeli shell hit Gaza’s only Catholic church, killing X civilians, injuring X others, and blowing out stained glass as families hid inside.

The victims included an elderly woman, a janitor, and a priest wounded during the blast. Israel says it regrets the strike and blames “stray ammunition.”

Pope Leo XIV wasn’t having it. 

He named the dead from the Vatican balcony and demanded peace, calling it one more attack on civilians and places of worship.

Even Trump reportedly scolded Netanyahu by phone. 

Meanwhile, churches worldwide are ringing bells and raising pressure for a ceasefire that still hasn’t come.
