Everyone must unequivocally condemn the targeting of hospitals—whether in Israel, Gaza, or Tehran. Bombing hospitals is a war crime, and outrage cannot be selective. If you spoke out for Soroka, the same condemnation must apply to the countless hospitals destroyed in Gaza.

An eyewitness to the terrorist attack at St. Elias Church in Damascus said that a terrorist entered the church, opened fire on worshippers during prayer, and then detonated himself. He also added that many were killed. Please pray for the safety of the Christian people in Syria.
