Earlier today, Israeli occupation forces admitted that they bombed St. Porphyrius Greek Orthodox Church in Gaza City which is the world's third oldest church in the world.

"The incident is under review,” the IOF claimed.

This comes shortly after the Ministry of Interior in Gaza announced that the Israeli occupation committed a new massacre, killing and wounding hundreds of displaced people inside the Greek Orthodox Church of St.Porphyrius in Gaza City.

According to the Ministry, the occupation made a direct target at the ancient church building on Omar al-Mukhtar Street in the Gaza Strip.

The Ministry pointed out that the church housed dozens of displaced people, who were taking shelter inside the church, most of whom were women and children.
