Catholic Bishop in the Holy Land Details Suffering of Christians in Israeli War

In an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews’ Frank Wright, Palestinian Monsignor William Shomali — of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem — related just how devastating the war in Gaza has been for Holy Land Christians, recalling stories of death, destruction, and suffering.

(LifeSiteNews) — “She was a former teacher of music. When she was killed by a sniper she was 80 years old. She left the parish compound during [the] curfew imposed on that area. She was old, and she was unaware of this. So she left the compound to go to her house to see what happened – if it was destroyed. While she was walking, she was killed by an Israeli sniper. No one could go to help her because snipers continued to shoot. She died from bleeding.”

This is how Monsignor William Shomali, 73, the Palestinian-born auxiliary bishop of the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, described the death of 84-year-old Ilham Farah to LifeSiteNews in this exclusive interview from Jerusalem, conducted by video.

The entire article, which has a lot of disturbing content, is well worth your time, as is the accompanying video statement by Monsignor Shomali.
