TWO people have been killed in an Israeli strike on Gaza's only Catholic church, according to church officials.

Several other people, including the parish priest, were injured.
The Catholic charity Caritas Jerusalem said the parish's 60-year-old caretaker and an 84-year-old woman receiving psycho-social support inside a Caritas tent in the church compound were killed in the attack.
Parish priest Fr Gabriel Romanelli, who was close to the late Pope Francis, was also injured.
In a rare move, the Israeli Foreign Ministry posted an apology on social media.
“Israel expresses deep sorrow over the damage to the Holy Family Church in Gaza City and over any civilian casualty,” the ministry said.
