(ZENIT News / Rome, 10.07.2024).- In a press release issued by the Holy
See Press Office, Pope Francis expressed his pain over the recent
bombings by Israel and Russia against innocent people.
Israel attacked a Catholic school in Gaza and Russia attacked two
medical centers in Kiev, one of them a children’s hospital.
“With great sorrow the Holy Father has learnt the news of the attacks
against two medical centers in Kiev, among them, the largest children’s
hospital in Ukraine, as well as against a school in Gaza,” stated the
press release, adding that “The Pope expresses his profound shock over
the escalation of violence. At the same time, he expresses his closeness
to the victims and the innocent wounded; he hopes and prays that soon
concrete ways will be identified to put an end to the conflicts
underway.”
The Israeli attack against the Catholic school in Gaza, where previously
the same Army killed innocents, occurred on Sunday, July 7, leaving
four people dead.
The Israeli Army attacked two classrooms on the ground floor, places
where entire families are sheltered. The Israeli Government said the
building was being used as a hiding place and housed a weapons
manufacturing plant, something yet unproven. Up to now, the number of
killings committed by the Israeli Government surpasses 35,000.
