Pope Francis Denounces Israeli 'Terrorism' Against Palestinian Christians

Elderly woman and her daughter killed in church attack, amid broader violence in Gaza.

Pope Francis has condemned the Israeli killings of Palestinian Christians, referring to the attacks as 'terrorism'.
An elderly woman and her adult daughter were shot dead by Israeli snipers at the Holy Family Parish, a Catholic church, in Gaza.
Elham Farah, a beloved music teacher and member of one of the oldest Christian families in Gaza, was killed by an Israeli sniper in November while sheltering outside the church.
Israeli soldiers have also attacked Palestinian Christians elsewhere in Gaza.
Philip Farah, co-founder of the Palestinian Christian Alliance for Peace, has referred to the attacks as part of a 'genocidal war'.
