An Israeli military strike hit the Holy Family Church, Gaza's only Catholic church, killing at least three people and injuring several others, including a priest.
The attack, which Israel has called a 'mistake' and expressed regret for, has sparked international condemnation and renewed calls for a ceasefire. Pope Leo XIV, along with other Christian and faith leaders, has strongly condemned the attack, urging an immediate end to the violence and the protection of civilians and sacred sites. The incident has intensified scrutiny of Israel's military actions in Gaza and highlighted the dire humanitarian situation faced by Palestinians under blockade.
