Legacy of Faith: Saint Porphyrius Church, Gaza

An explosion occurred within the grounds of one of the world’s oldest churches, Gaza City’s St. Porphyrius Greek Orthodox Church, on Thursday evening while numerous Palestinian families were seeking refuge on the premises. Brave rescuers were on the scene, working diligently to extract people from the debris, and regrettably, several of them sustained serious injuries.

An Israeli court last month denied a petition by the Greek Orthodox Church to overturn the sale of leases on Jerusalem properties to an extremist Israeli settler organization.

The ruling again gives Ateret Cohanim, a right-wing group involved in colonizing Palestinian land in the city, the green light to take over the three properties.
