Hamas Turns on Gaza Christians

Having vanquished their rivals in Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement, Gaza-based Hamas gunmen are now turning their attention to the area's small Christian communities.

On Sunday a group of militants stormed the Latin Church and the adjacent Rosary Sisters School in Gaza City.

Father Manuel Musalam, leader of the small Latin community in Gaza, told The Jerusalem Post that the Muslim gunmen used rocket-propeled grenades (RPGs) to blow through the doors of the church and school, before burning Bibles and destroying every cross they could get their hands on.

Leaders of Gaza's even smaller Evangelical Christian community who spoke to Israel Today earlier this month expressed similar concern over their situation, but said they were determined to remain in the volatile Strip to fulfill God's Will there.
