Father Gabriel Romanelli, an Argentine priest of the Institute of the Incarnate Word (IVE) who serves as pastor of Holy Family Parish in Gaza, shared with ACI Prensa, CNA’s Spanish-language news partner, a statement about the situation following the Hamas attack on Israel, which, he said, “continues to be very bad.”
The surprise attack by the Islamist group that controls the Gaza Strip began in the early hours of Oct. 7 by land, sea, and air. Countless missiles hit Israeli cities, where civilians were also kidnapped.
The first offensive left at least 40 dead and 700 injured, according to the first official reports.
Israel is “at war,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the country responded with air strikes on the Gaza Strip.
