SadaNews - The Israeli occupation bombed the Latin Church of the Holy Family, affiliated with the Latin Patriarchate, in Gaza City today, Thursday, resulting in injuries.

Local sources reported that the priest of the Latin Monastery was injured due to the Israeli targeting of the church in Gaza City.

The Prime Minister of Italy stated that "Israel's targeting of the Latin Monastery Church in Gaza is unacceptable."

For its part, the Presidential Commission for the Follow-up of Church Affairs in Palestine condemned the Israeli occupation's bombing of the Latin Patriarchate's Church of the Holy Family in Gaza City.

In a statement issued today, Thursday, it expressed its concern over the bombing of the church, which resulted in several injuries, including the church's priest, Gabriele Romanelli, along with significant damage to the church building.
