A deadly Israeli strike hit the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza, the only Catholic church in the enclave, killing at least three people and injuring several others, including a priest.
The attack has sparked international condemnation, with Pope Leo XIV and other faith leaders calling for an immediate ceasefire and denouncing the 'barbarity of war.' Israel expressed regret, calling the strike a mistake, but the incident has intensified scrutiny of Israel's military actions and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The Vatican and global Christian leaders have demanded protection for civilians and sacred sites, while the international community faces mounting pressure to intervene.
The tragedy highlights the dire situation for Gaza's Christian minority and the broader civilian population suffering under siege.
