While the Israeli government claims the bombing to be a mistake, church officials are reportedly considering it may have been ‘a deliberate act of retaliation’ for a recent Church statement.
The White House states President Donald Trump’s reaction to this morning’s Israeli military strike on the only Catholic church in Gaza was “not positive” and prompted a call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
At around 10:20 a.m. local time on Thursday, the Holy Family Catholic Church compound “was struck by the Israeli army” killing at least three and injuring nine others “including one in critical condition and two in serious condition,” according to a statement from the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.
During a White House press briefing today Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about Trump’s reaction to the bombing and responded, “It was not a positive reaction. He called Prime Minister Netanyahu this morning to address the strikes on that church in Gaza. And I understand the Prime Minister agreed to put out a statement.”
She went on to claim, “it was a mistake by the Israelis to hit that Catholic Church. That’s what the Prime Minister relayed to the President. And you should look at the Prime Minister’s statement on that.”
But according to The Pillar, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, expressed doubts that the strike on the church was a mistake.
“What we know for sure is that an Israeli tank hit the church directly...... the Church of the Holy Family, the Catholic Church.”
“We don’t have complete information about what has happened in Gaza today because the communication in Gaza is not that simple,” the Franciscan cardinal said.
However, the Catholic outlet went on to report that “sources close to the patriarchate’s chancery” told them “Church authorities were considering the possibility that the tank attack” upon the church was “a deliberate act of retaliation” for Church authorities speaking out on Monday against violent terrorist attacks by Israeli settlers against the Christian town of Taybeh in the West Bank.

A solid majority of Christians would not realize that is a Cross.
The percentage of Israeli soldiers who would recognize that as a Cross would be lower.
This is War. Bad things happen.
