Israeli sniper ‘shot in cold blood’ mother and daughter in Gaza church
An Israeli sniper shot Nahida and Samar, a Christian mother and a daughter, on the grounds of a Catholic church in Gaza City, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem has said.
One of the women was killed as she tried to carry the other to safety.
“They were shot in cold blood inside the premises of the Parish, where there are no belligerents,” the patriarchate said.
The convent is home to 54 displaced people and has been signalled as a place of worship since the start of the war.
The patriarchate highlighted that no warning was given before the shooting started and added that “they were shot in cold blood inside the premises of the Parish, where there are no belligerents.”
Seven more people were also wounded by gunfire as they tried to protect others, the statement said.
