‘IDF would not shoot churchgoers’, says senior adviser to Israeli PM | Israel-Hamas conflict

Mark Regev, a senior adviser to the Israeli prime minister has stated: "We don’t shoot people who are going to church to pray, it just doesn’t happen, that’s not the way the IDF operates".

Mr Regev was responding to stories that an Israeli army sniper shot and killed two ladies contained in the Holy Family Parish in Gaza City on Saturday, in line with the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

The Israeli army has denied it targets civilians, with a spokesperson saying: "An initial review suggests that IDF troops, who were operating against Hamas terrorists in the area, operated against a threat that they identified in the area of the church. The IDF is conducting a thorough review of the incident."
