Follow-up on the Saint Porphyrius Church massacre in Gaza
On Oct 19, reports on social media said the church was destroyed by the Israeli army during a wave of violent airstrikes on the city. Thankfully, the church was not targeted in itself (photo 1) or destroyed. Only a wall was lighty damaged. This was verified through photos during daylight.
What happened was the collapse of the church's administrative building due to the Israeli explosive's shock wave (photos 2 & 3).
This unfortunate incident claimed the lives of 18 Palestinians, including 8 children, mostly Christians (photos 4 & 5).

⋯ Former U.S. Congressman Justin Amash, who is a Palestinian Christian himself, said that several members of his family were killed at the Saint Porphyrius Church in Gaza, where they had been sheltering from Israeli airstrikes.
Namely, Samaa al-Amash, Yara al-Amash and Viola al-Amash died following the IDF raids.
Alongside them, 10 members of the Al-Souri Family, a Palestinian Orthodox Christian family, were all killed by Israel.

⋯ IDF justifies the bombing then deletes the justification
To justify this crime, and to claim innocence, the Israeli army released drone footage of the airstrike, showcasing how they didn't actually target the church itself.
In a tweet that's already deleted by the Israeli army, viewers can see an airstrike just across the church, which caused both material damage to it, collapsed the administration building killing refugees inside, and putting everyone around at risk.

⋯ "Hamas are the new Nazi": Israel
"You fought the Nazis 80 years ago... Hamas are the new Nazis," says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to UK PM Rishi Sunak that Israel's fight against Hamas is "the battle of the entire civilized world"
And so, collateral damage and civilian murder is acceptable.

⋯ Former PM Ehud Barak mentions WW2 Dresden bombing as precedent for Israeli war crimes in Gaza.
On Oct 19, as a former Prime Minister of Israel (Labour Party) and defense minister (2007-2013), Ehud Barak was interviewed by Piers Morgan on Talk TV (UK). The firebombing of Dresden on Feb 13-15, 1945, left up to 25,000 dead with no significant military purpose. Inelegant, he also compared Israel's 1,400 slain Jews to “a ten thousand” Britons, revealing a conversion rate of 1 for 7.
