The church must have had a missile in the kitchen.

"If you have a missile in your goddamn kitchen and you want to shoot it at me, am I allowed to defend myself?"

“I just said that Israel abides by international law, operates by international law. Every operation is secured and covered and reviewed legally. With all due respect, I truly believe that this comes totally out of context,” the president said.

Herzog also engaged in a testy exchange with journalist Matt Frei from Britain’s Channel 4. Herzog cut off Frei when he began insinuating that Herzog was holding Gazan civilians responsible for Hamas and thus considered them legitimate targets.

So Herzog is saying killing civilians, including children, is not against international law because they are shooting missiles out of their kitchen. I didn't know kitchens had missile hatches in the roof.

Did Hamas kill / kidnap any children on Oct 7th?

Yes but unlike the IDF not thousands of the innocent little mites
This story must be false though because Muslim majorities, especially extremist ones would never allow a Christian church to operate right under their noses., or so I’m told 🤔
