Two dead, several injured in raid on Catholic church in Gaza

Two women were killed and several injured following a strike on the Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip, doctors at the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City said on Thursday.

The strike damaged the Holy Family Church, the only Catholic Church inside the Palestinian enclave.

Italy's Ansa news agency said six people were seriously injured, while parish priest Father Gabriel Romanelli, who used to regularly update the late Pope Francis about the war, suffered light leg injuries.
