Israeli strike on Gaza church kills two and injures priest Pope Francis called daily
Pope Leo renews ceasefire call after strike on territory’s only Catholic church injures children and clergy

An Israeli strike has hit the only Catholic church in Gaza, killing two people and injuring several others including the parish priest, who used to receive daily calls from the late Pope Francis.

“Two persons were killed as a result of an apparent strike by the Israeli army that hit the Holy Family compound this morning,” the Latin patriarchate of Jerusalem said in a statement.

Before his death in April, the former pope would call Gabriel Romanelli, an Argentinian, every evening to discuss the war in Gaza. He began the routine on 9 October 2023, two days after the attacks on Israel by Hamas, as a way to express solidarity during the conflict.

Reuters footage from the hospital showed Romanelli to be lightly injured, with a bandaged left leg but able to walk.
