On 6 December, Israel attacked the Holy Family Church in Gaza, the territory’s only Catholic church, damaging the compound where displaced civilians were taking shelter.

Families, including children and elderly people, were inside the church at the time of the strike.

The church has been targeted repeatedly during Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

In earlier attacks, Israeli strikes killed civilians sheltering inside and injured others, despite the site being a clearly identified place of worship.

The attack forms part of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, where homes, hospitals, mosques and churches have repeatedly been hit despite their civilian and religious status.

Religious leaders and human rights groups have long warned that even clearly marked places of worship are no longer being spared by Israeli forces.

  • This is what Trump funds and supports yet he claims to be Christian to sell Trump bibles

  • I really worry that people think the genocide is somehow over and that we do not have to pay attention this kind of thing anymore :( It's really disgusting.

    By the way, if you happen to see comments, I left a chat message (not expecting an instant answer, I just know you do not go there often so I am letting you know.)

    Don't you worry, there are a lot of watch groups out, keeping their eyes on this and will keep it in our memories. We need to keep it in the social media, we need to keep it on our streets and in people's mind what the zionist scumbags did and doing right now.. never forget! never forgive!

  • I worked with a very out there gay guy who told me about his incredible history. I didn’t believe it till the photos came out. Along with the scars. He was a Greek Orthodox priest who worked and lived in Palestine. He was raided, shot with rubber bullets and eventually thrown out of the churches top floor window. By…….you guessed it, Israeli soldiers. He is living his happiest and best life last time I saw him approx 15yrs ago.

  • I can't begin to tell you how sad this makes me. Holy Family church taught me:
    how to read.
    how to write.
    how to pray.
    how to worship God.
    how to love my neighbor.

    Israel's savage, brutal and evil acts and destruction of this or any place of worship only mirrors this government's disregard for all of humanity, not just Palestinians who are bearing witness to this evil.

  • Is anyone really surprised? They literally bombed a church that the late pope talked to the priests daily....they didn't gaf an they won't now .. its all hate
