Gaza's Hamas-run government media office says 18 Christian Palestinians were killed. There is no word from the Greek Orthodox church on any final death toll.
GAZA CITY – A Greek Orthodox church in the Gaza Strip which was sheltering hundreds of displaced Palestinians was hit overnight by an Israeli air strike, the Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem and Palestinian health officials said Friday, October 20.
Palestinian officials said at least 500 Muslims and Christians had taken shelter in the church from Israeli bombardments. Gaza’s 2.3 million population comprises an estimated 1,000 Christians, most of whom are Greek Orthodox.
