Britain’s minister for the Middle East on Sunday condemned a deadly shooting at a Gaza church allegedly carried out by an Israeli military sniper.
The sniper shot and killed a mother and daughter and injured seven others inside the Holy Family Parish in Gaza on Saturday, according to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, in an incident also condemned by pope Francis.
Pope Francis on Sunday addressed the deaths at the Holy Family Parish, lamenting that “unarmed civilians are targets for bombs and gunfire” in Gaza.
