Israel: “Hizbullah firing on Christian holy city Nazareth”

The Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem ordered its ambassadors Wednesday to transfer a message to the nations of the world that “Hizbullah is directing its missiles also against a Christian holy city, Nazareth, out of an intention to strike their holy symbols.” Two children, aged three and nine, were killed by the Hizbullah rockets while playing outside their Nazareth home.

A short time after the strike on Nazareth, the Foreign Ministry’s senior officials held a meeting…

“They do not distinguish between Jews and Arabs and Christians. These rockets strike out of intention a holy city to Christianity, to send a message. Their ability to direct these rockets have been proven. There’s no doubt that they planned to hit one of the central places of faith for Christians, a symbol of hundreds of millions around the world,” a Foreign Ministry official said.

Obviously with the fighting leading to hundreds of injured and a lot of deaths, emotions run high. Some ambassadors were told the target for missiles actually was, a center for many Christian pilgrims, a nearby ancient church. But the more likely target was a nearby security facility.
