The Order of St. George, an associated order of the church, issued a statement confirming the strike. “Archbishop Alexios appears to have been located and is alive, but we don’t know if he is injured,” the Order of St. George stated. The blast hit “two church halls where the refugees, including children and babies, were sleeping.”
Given what we saw with the last IDF statement (doctored audio, inconsistent claims), and the last IDF statement (“totally dead babies!”), the IDF statement isn’t worth the air the sound travels through.
Completely reasonable and still getting downvoted.
Far as Lemmy is concerned you need to take a very specific stance on this conflict, and any other reasonable and honest thread of thought is instantly rejected.
There are dead babies, and you can find the pictures of them if you like. I can’t comment on whether their heads are attached to their bodies or not because I value my sanity, but I really don’t think that detail matters all that much to the greater picture.
To be fair to the IDF, The people who built the church really should have built it in a better place 1600 years ago if they knew that there were going to be legitimate targets in an adjacent building. Also, it’s not like Israeli intelligence could have known the church was filled with Palestinians who had nowhere left to run

Lots of Christians dead for a church that’s “still standing”

Of course they don’t matter. But it gives you an idea of where people’s heads are at.

Daytime photos show that this is the building next to the church. The church itself is still standing, though one wall was destroyed.
