CWN Editor's Note: As Israeli launched surprise airstrikes on Gaza, the pastor of Gaza’s sole Catholic parish said that “the bombings woke us up, they were close by, 300-400 meters [1,000-1,300 feet] away.”
“Fortunately, no shrapnel [hit us] and we’re fine, but throughout the Strip there is already talk of more than 350 dead and more than a thousand injured,” said Father Gabriel Romanelli. “We hope that what happened tonight does not put an end to the ceasefire, that the war does not start again.”
