Pope Francis said the killing of two women by an Israeli army sniper at the Holy Family Convent in Gaza is terrorism, reports CNN.
Pope Francis on Sunday addressed the deaths at the Holy Family Parish, lamenting that “unarmed civilians are targets for bombs and gunfire” in Gaza.
“I continue receiving very serious and sad news about Gaza. Unarmed civilians are targets for bombs and gunfire. And this has happened even within the parish complex of the Holy Family, where there are no terrorists, but families, children, people who are sick and have disabilities, sisters,” he said during his weekly Angelus prayer.
“Some are saying, ‘This is terrorism and war.’ Yes, it is war, it is terrorism. That is why Scripture says that ‘God puts an end to war… the bow he breaks and the spear he snaps,’” the Pope added.
As reported, An Israeli military sniper shot and killed two women inside the Holy Family Parish in Gaza, according to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.
