Pope Francis condemned the killing of civilians in Gaza as "terrorism" during his weekly blessing at St. Peter's Square. He spoke out after reports of Israeli snipers killing two Christian women in Gaza's sole Catholic church, deploring the "grave and painful news" from Gaza, including airstrikes on unarmed civilians. He urged worshipers to remember those suffering from wars in Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, and other conflict regions, and to work towards peace.
