Israeli Snipers Killed Church Goers

While I was writing the previous article on how Israeli soldiers killed three possibly escaped Israeli hostages initially captured by Hamas in cold blood, I learned that Israeli snipers flat-out murdered two women in a Catholic church.

Holy shit.

No pun intended, but, holy shit.

The shooting of a mother and daughter allegedly by an Israeli military sniper in a church compound in Gaza City was a “cold–blooded killing”, the most senior Catholic cleric in England has said.

Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the archbishop of Westminster, said the shooting did “nothing to further Israel’s right to defend itself”.

The two women were killed inside the Holy Family parish in Gaza City on Saturday, according to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem. Most of Gaza’s Christian families have taken refuge in the compound since the start of the war.

Nahida Khalil Anton and her daughter Samar were shot as they walked to the sister’s convent, the patriarchate said. One was killed as she tried to carry the other to safety. ~ The Guardian, December 2023
