Israel Destroys Catholic Church in Lebanon
Israeli Missiles destroy Catholic church in Derdghaya, Lebanon - at least 8 killed
Oct 11, 2024
A church of the Melkite Greek Catholic Eparchy of Tyre, Lebanon, was hit by a missile attack from Israeli airstrikes on Oct. 9, killing at least eight people.
Local sources state that the church, located in the town of Derdghaya, was sheltering people displaced by the conflict. A priest’s house and a three-story building housing parish offices were also completely destroyed by another missile.
Pope Francis called for peace in the Middle East, stating that "all nations have the right to exist in peace and security: Their territories must not be attacked, their sovereignty must be respected and guaranteed through dialog and peace."
In an additional post on Oct. 11, the pontiff said: "I call for an immediate cease-fire on all fronts of the war in the Middle East, including Lebanon."
