Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council John Kirby stopped a reporter calling for the United States to condemn Israel over alleged humanitarian law violations.
A spokesperson for Hamas stormed out of a BBC interview last week when asked about the justification of killing innocent civilians in the attack against Israel.
On October 7, 2023, the fundamentalist Islamist organization Hamas committed an unprecedented terrorist attack against Israel on Yom Kippur, October 7, 2023, killing over 1,400 Israelis.
Responding to these accusations, the Israeli military claimed that the strike on the church was actually aimed at a nearby militant command center and that the incident was under review.
