The State Department expressed deep sorrow over the tragic loss of lives and the victims caused by today’s blow to Catholic Church of the Holy Family in Gauze strip. As the Foreign Minister still notes via a post on X, “Greece strongly condemns all attacks on churches or religious spaces. Worship places should never be goals. “

It is recalled that Two women were killed and other people injured In a blow to the Catholic Church located in the Gaza Strip, doctors at Al-Akli Hospital in Gaza and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem said today. “Two people were killed as a result of a blow, apparently by the Israeli army in the Holy Family complex this morning,” the Patriarchate announced

The blow caused damage to the only Catholic Church in the Palestinian enclave. The Italian news agency ANSA reported that six people were seriously injured, while parish priest Gabriel Romanelli – who regularly informed the late Pope Francis on the Israeli -Palestinian conflict – was slightly injured.

Melon wrath – “We look at it” Israel says

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, in a written statement, referred to the ever -increasing tension in the Middle East.

“Israeli bombings in Gaza are also affecting the church of the Holy Family. The attacks on the civilian population, which Israel has been doing for months, are unacceptable. No military operation can justify such an attitude, “the Italian prime minister said.

The Israeli Defense Ministry has announced, as it always does, that it is considering information.

Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that “they know reports of damage caused to the Church of the Holy Family in the city of Gaza and victims at the site. The conditions of the incident are under consideration. “

“IDF are making every effort to limit blows to civilian and non -military infrastructure, including places of worship, and regrets possible damage caused to them.”
