CWN Editor's Note: Echoing a statement by the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem (CWN coverage), the chairman of the US bishops’ Committee on International Justice and Peace condemned attacks on civilians in Gaza, and in particular Israeli army raids against a Catholic school there.
“The Sacred Family School has been a place of refuge for hundreds of civilians, and I join the Latin Patriarchate in condemning any targeting of civilians in the Sacred Family School in Gaza,” said Bishop A. Elias Zaidan, the Maronite bishop of Los Angeles. “I urge in strongest terms that civilians remain outside the sphere of combat, while also praying for peace and an immediate end to hostilities.”
