Gaza priest reports Israeli bombing near parish (CNA)
Wednesday, 19 March 2025 () As Israeli launched surprise airstrikes on Gaza, the pastor of Gaza’s sole Catholic parish said that “the bombings woke us up, they were close by, 300-400 meters [1,000-1,300 feet] away.”
“Fortunately, no shrapnel [hit us] and we’re fine, but throughout the Strip there is already talk of more than 350 dead and more than a thousand injured,” said Father Gabriel Romanelli. “We hope that what happened tonight does not put an end to the ceasefire, that the war does not start again.”
