“Massacring civilians is a
war crime and there can be
no justification for these
reprehensible attacks. We
verified chilling videos which
show armed men shooting
at civilians and dragging
people away as hostages.”

International’s Secretary General

On 20 October, the Israeli military posted a video of drone footage on social
media, reviewed and archived by Amnesty International, showing the
moment of the air strike on a building within the church compound. Several
media outlets then quoted an Israeli military
statement
indicating that “IDF
fighter jets struck the command and control center belonging to a Hamas
terrorist involved in the launching of rockets and mortars toward Israel”,
acknowledging that “a wall of a church in the area was damaged” as a result
of the strike, and assuring that “the incident is under review”.
However, the Israeli military video showing the strike has since been deleted,
and no information has been provided by the Israeli military or authorities to
substantiate the claim that the destroyed church building was a Hamas
“command and control
center”,
nor any further information about the
purported review of the strike.
