evidence: At least 16 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike yesterday, October 19, that hit a part of Gaza’s Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Porphyrius, one of the oldest churches in the world. The Israeli military has taken responsibility for the hit, the Wall Street Journal and others reported. Hundreds of Palestinians were sheltering in the church, according to local authorities. The bombing was part of a larger airstrike that destroyed a district in Gaza City where residents were reportedly given only 30 minutes to evacuate. Videos circulating online show Palestinians searching through rubble. [...] The Saint Porphyrius Church is one the world’s oldest standing churches and the oldest still in use in Gaza. Its original structure was built in the fifth century and its current building was constructed in the 1100s.
