Former US Rep. Justin Amash’s Relatives Killed In Israeli Bombing<\/span><\/p>\n

Former US Rep. Justin Amash (L-MI), who was the only US House Member representing the Libertarian Party, announced Friday on Twitter\/X that several of his relatives were killed when Israel bombed Saint Porphyrius Orthodox Church in Gaza<\/strong>. Amash’s relatives, along with many others, were seeking shelter in the Church as Israel continues to flatten Gaza.<\/p>\n

According to The Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a>, “The Israeli military<\/strong> said that a blast Thursday night on the St. Porphyrius Greek Orthodox Church campus in Gaza City was the result of its airstrike<\/strong>.” The Israeli military said, “The incident is under review.”<\/p>\n

I was really worried about this. \ud83d\ude14 With great sadness, I have now confirmed that several of my relatives (including Viola and Yara pictured here) were killed at Saint Porphyrius Orthodox Church in Gaza, where they had been sheltering, when part of the complex was destroyed as\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/w5k1xEeTgF<\/a><\/p>\n

As one commenter on Amash’s thread\u00a0pointed out<\/a>, Saint Porphyrius Church “symbolized coexistence. It’s worth noting that this church is located near the Jewish Quarter in Gaza as well.” Saint Porphyrius Orthodox Church is the third oldest existing Christian church in the world, standing very nearly since the time of Christ.<\/p>\n

Another commenter on Twitter\u00a0added<\/a>\u00a0that “Gaza\u2019s oldest church the Orthodox Church of Saint Porphyrius”…was a refuge for at least 380 civilians. At least 40 have been reported dead and more searches continue among the rubble.” [Officials sources later revised the death toll to 18 people killed and at least 20 injured.<\/strong>]<\/p>\n

Earlier this week Israel is accused of bombing\u00a0al-Shifa hospital in Gaza – the only Christian hospital in the Palestinian enclave<\/strong> – and hundreds have been reported killed in that attack.<\/p>\n

While Israel has denied responsibility for that bombing, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak\u00a0told the BBC<\/a>\u00a0that Israel was “determined” to destroy the hospital.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Additionally, Israel today demanded the evacuation of yet another hospital in Gaza, the\u00a0Al-Quds Hospital, claiming that it was also on the bombing list. As The Cradle\u00a0reports<\/a>, an evacuation is nearly impossible as “the hospital is treating over 400 patients and sheltering 12,000 displaced civilians.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
