Palestinian Christians Bitter over Destruction of Church Ruins in Gaza
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Construction workers in Gaza City found the remains of the 1,500-year-old church where a shopping mall is being built. Bulldozers removed the antiquities and continued their work without supervision. Palestinian Christians on Wednesday expressed anger over the way Hamas has handled the ancient ruins of the Byzantine church. Suleiman Fayoumi, a Christian from Nablus, commented on social media: "How are the Wakf officials in Gaza different from ISIS when they bulldoze antiquities and a religious and cultural treasure?"
