'Israel' evades responsibility after bombing Gaza Catholic church
The 'Israeli' military issued a brief statement confirming awareness of an attack on a church in Gaza City and announced it is investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. However, no further details or explanations were provided. 'The IDF makes every feasible effort to mitigate harm to civilians and civilian structures, including religious sites, and regrets any damage caused to them,' the statement added. According to 'Israeli' media, an investigation into the recent strike on the church in Gaza suggests that the damage may have been caused by either a tank shell or a drone. This recent strike on the Holy Family Church is not an isolated event. The 'Israeli' military has previously targeted the same church during ongoing hostilities. Additionally, earlier in the aggression, the Church of Saint Porphyrius, the oldest church in Gaza and the third oldest in the world, was also struck, resulting in casualties among families sheltering inside. Two women were killed and several others injured, including Father Gabriel Romanelli, parish priest of the Latin Monastery Church, after an 'Israeli' artillery strike hit the Holy Family Church complex in Gaza on Thursday. The Holy Family Church is Gaza's sole Catholic church and has become a refuge for hundreds of displaced families amid the ongoing conflict. The attack occurred in the Zeitoun neighborhood, where many Palestinians sought shelter.

Pope Leo XIV condemns deadly strike on Gaza church
Pope Leo XIV expressed sorrow on Thursday over an 'Israeli' strike that hit Gaza's only Catholic church, killing two people, and renewed his plea for an immediate end to the violence. The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem confirmed that the Holy Family Church in Gaza City, home to a small Catholic community, was struck during 'Israeli' military operations. 'His Holiness Pope Leo XIV was deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and injury caused by the military attack on the Holy Family Church in Gaza,' read a telegram sent by the Vatican's secretary of state on behalf of the pope. The message emphasized the pope 'renews his call for an immediate ceasefire, and he expresses his profound hope for dialogue, reconciliation and enduring peace in the region.' The statement notably avoided directly naming 'Israel'. 'Israel', responding to the incident, said it 'never targets' religious sites and confirmed it was investigating the strike. The church, which shelters part of Gaza's small Christian community, serves around 135 Catholics out of roughly 1,000 Christians in the enclave of more than two million people. Most Christians in Gaza belong to the Orthodox tradition. The deaths at the church compound occurred as Gaza's civil defence agency reported at least 20 additional fatalities in other 'Israeli' strikes across the territory.
