Yesterday, Israel bombed the Church of the Holy Family in the Al-Żejtun neighbourhood in the north of Gaza. The church is the only Catholic church in Gaza. Service was held just a couple of hours before the bombing and people were sheltering inside during the attack. Two people have been killed as a result and others, including Fr. Gabriele Romanelli were also injured.
The attack was condemned by the Italian Premier and saddened the Pope. Israel said that it regretted the attack, which said was “a result of a stray ammunition”.
Air strikes also took place nearby near in the Al-Tuffah neighbourhood. Israel is currently conducting an ethnic cleansing campaign in the north of Gaza where it plans to set up a permanent occupation. The IDF are currently forcing the remaining residents of Jabalia and Gaza City to move out of their homes and the area to the south where Israel plans to concentrate all of the Palestinian residents in Gaza.
