A near disaster took place in Israel. Iran launched missiles into the Old City of Jerusalem. The missiles were intercepted. However, the debris landed just a few feet away from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. One of the most sacred sites in Christianity, believed to be the place of Jesus’ crucifixion, burial, and resurrection.
An Iranian missile exploded over Jerusalem’s Old City. Its fragments fell on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Armenian Patriarchate, the Jewish Quarter and on the Temple Mount near the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Just a reminder, the only reason Christian holy sites in the Old City of Jerusalem remain standing, is because it is part of Israel. If the Palestinians controlled the Old City of Jerusalem’s Christian Quarter, all traces of Christianity would be attacked and destroyed. Exactly what the Palestinians have tragically done to the once flourishing Christian community in Bethlehem.

Near disaster at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
As Iran continues to fire missiles indiscriminately at civilians, it doesn’t care who it kills… Jews, Christians, or Muslims.
It only cares about killing Israelis. https://t.co/8y6DSjSkpD

🚨A ballistic missile fragment just fell on the courtyard of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem’s Old City.
This is what evil looks like. This is why Israel fights.
