An Israeli military strike hit the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza, the only Catholic parish in the territory, killing three people and injuring several others, including the parish priest. The incident has sparked international condemnation from religious leaders, including Pope Leo XIV, and political figures, who have called for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the violence in Gaza. Israel admitted the strike was caused by an errant mortar round and issued a rare apology, but the attack has intensified scrutiny of Israel's military actions and its impact on Gaza's Christian minority. Church leaders who visited Gaza described scenes of desperation and starvation, urging the world not to abandon Gaza's Christians. The strike has fueled debate over Israel's policies, strained its relations with Christian communities, and increased calls for humanitarian intervention.
