International Clerics Visit Gaza in Show of Solidarity After Church Strike; Sweida Death Toll Rises
Clerics from the Catholic Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, accompanied by diplomats from over 20 countries, traveled to Gaza in a "powerful expression" of solidarity following Israeli airstrikes that killed three people at the Palestinian territory's only Catholic church.
The Jerusalem Patriarchate stated the visit aimed to stand with Gaza's Christian community amid escalating violence.
Meanwhile, in Syria, the death toll in the southern province of Sweida continues to rise, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The region has seen intensified violence, though further details on the casualties and circumstances remain unclear.
