🚨 BREAKING: CHRISTIAN CHURCH EXPLOSION IN GAZA This church is reportedly one of the oldest churches in the area, and was home to around 50 Christians and Muslims who were displaced from their homes due to the war (other sources, including the guard of the church, claim the number could be in the hundreds, but we have not been able to verify this) Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya could only confirm 2 casualties so far, however many claim the number could be a lot higher. We are waiting for further details to verify those claims. WHAT HAPPENED: Initial reports show that a building next to the church, the 'counselor building', was bombed by an Israeli warplane. This caused collateral damage to the church, leading to the collapse of one of the three buildings of the church. This building belongs to the Greek Orthodox Church in downtown Gaza City. It's important to note, there were false reports this church was destroyed a few days ago. These reports were rebuked by the church which was unscathed at the time. We do not yet have accurate details on the number of casualties or the details of the strike. Source: Al Jazeera

🚨 JUST IN: SAUDI PRINCE CONDEMNS HAMAS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE WAR For the first time since the war broke out, a Saudi Prince has condemned not only Israel, but also Hamas, AND Western countries! This is a significant shift in tone, signaling increased support for Israel as they prepare to enter Gaza. TWO IMPORTANT POINTS: 1. The normalization deal between Saudi and Israel is NOT dead 2. Hamas continues to lose support, getting increasingly isolated as the Israeli army threatens to ‘eliminate’ them Note: Saudi Prince Turki Al-Faisal does NOT speak on behalf of the Government. However he served as the head of the General Intelligence Presidency for 22 years. KEY QUOTES: - I categorically condemn Hamas's targeting of civilians of any age and gender. Such targeting belies Hamas's claims of Islamic identity.
