Demolition of Monastery Highlights Strain on Christians in the Middle East
Source excerpt
According to reporting by Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) last week, the Israeli military demolished a Catholic monastery and a nuns’ school in a southern Lebanese border village. The destruction of the monastery, considered “one of the most prominent educational institutions in the region,” according to NNA, triggered renewed alarm among Christian leaders. This incident, they said, highlights how religious sites are increasingly being drawn into the destruction and displacement caused by ongoing conflict along the Israel–Lebanon frontier.
