A deadly Israeli strike on the Holy Family Catholic Church—the only Catholic church in Gaza—has killed at least three people and wounded several others, including a priest.
The incident has sparked international condemnation, with Pope Leo XIV, top Catholic and Orthodox leaders, and the United Nations denouncing the attack and calling for an immediate ceasefire. The church, which had served as a shelter for Gaza's small Christian community, was hit amid ongoing Israeli military operations in the enclave.
Israel expressed 'deep regret' and pledged to investigate, but faith leaders and humanitarian organizations have labeled the situation in Gaza as 'morally unacceptable' and 'barbaric.' The tragedy has intensified global pressure on Israel to end its blockade and military campaign, and on world leaders to intervene for peace and humanitarian relief.
