The American Jewish Committee said Thursday (July 31) that it will donate $25,000 toward the “rehabilitation” of the Holy Family Church and community in Gaza. The only Catholic church in Gaza was damaged by what the Israel Defense Forces called a munitions misfire by one of its tanks in the church’s vicinity on July 17. Three civilians who were sheltering in the church complex were killed in the incident and several — included the parish priest — were injured.
