The premises were ransacked, partially burned and looted during clashes between Fatah and Hamas around a major security headquarters. Crosses were broken, a statue of Jesus was damaged, and prayer books were burnt at the school and nearby convent, said Father Manuel Musallem, head of Gaza’s Latin church. (AP Photo/Khalil Hamra)

“When I first went to Israel about 15% of the Palestinians were Christians… Now they’ve almost been removed from Palestine because of some pressures and encouragement from the Israelis.”
