Lebanese Maronite Catholic priest killed by Israeli tank fire in southern Lebanon

May our Lord Jesus guide Father Pierre al-Rahi into heaven…. May the angel Michael protect the beautiful people of Lebanon from the demons that are attacking them.

“Father Pierre al-Rahi was from my village, Dibeh, but he was the parish priest of Qlayaa in Marjayoun. Unfortunately, he passed away. God bless his soul,” Lebanese Maronite Father Jean Younes, secretary general of the Assembly of Catholic Patriarchs and Bishops of Lebanon, told OSV News.

“Very disturbing reports that a parish priest in southern Lebanon has been killed in an Israeli strike,” Aid to the Church in Need Ireland said in a statement on X, adding Father al-Rahi “was ministering to his distressed parishioners in the village” when the attack occurred.

Lebanese news reports stated that an Israeli Merkava tank hit a house in Qlayaa twice. The first strike wounded the owner and his wife. Father al-Rahi and other neighbors rushed to the scene to help when the tank fired a second time. Father al-Rahi was wounded from the strike and later died from his injuries. Several other Lebanese civilians were also injured in the attack.

Imagine as an American a foreign country giving you an order to leave your town because they’re about to blow it up. …and then imagine that people in countries thousands of miles away Blame you for being a patriot and refusing to leave your home.

Well, that’s what father Pierre was told by the IDF to leave his home… Of course as a Christian Father Pierre knew that there were old people in the town who had trouble moving, and he did not want to leave his own home just as an American patriot would do.

Father Pierre was killed by the IDF while trying to help injured people during an Israeli strike on his home town.

AsiaNews, an official press agency of the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions, also reported the death of Sami Ghafari, 70, a Maronite Catholic killed by an Israeli drone while he was in his garden. He was a brother of Father Maroun Ghafari, parish priest of Our Lady’s Church in Alma Shaab.

Father Ghafari had also refused to evacuate and chose to defend the Christian village’s neutrality in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

“They say there were fighters in the house, but that’s not true. These are lies,” Qlayaa’s Mayor Hanna Daher told AsiaNews. “Inside, there were only the residents of the house and people from the village who came to help the wounded.”

How much more death will be on the hands of Iran and the dembots that back them?

Maronite priests are highly dedicated. I know several of them. There homilies are always energetic and conservative. It’s a shame he died. I’m sure his reward will be great

Do you expect the Israeli military to be paralyzed and unable to act because some dude refuses to leave his home? It just takes one guy to stop them from fighting a war? Nah, dude. Thats stupid.

Hezbollah right?

So the IDF attacks a Christian village. Make that make sense.?

The Netanyahu regime is lying to you every day. You are choosing to buy their evilness. Its one thing to support the existence of Israel it is different to support an unjust war.

Hundreds of thousands of Muslims die "who cares?" One Catholic dies "Oh no, this is really bad".

That’s what you said^

Otoh leading American conservative Christians like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Greene are taking a completely different attitude. Seems like you’re trolling or uninformed here. Did you read the tweet by Greene….Have you followed what she has been saying about this war?

One Catholic ? No the IDF has harmed and killed many Christians. Who side are you on? What are you doing here?

 

[Andrew_Jackson_FTW]

And in before the propaganda start whining “not a peep outta them about Africa!” Or “why don’t they talk about what’s happening to Christians in Muslim countries?”

Again as even Jewish journalist reported Israels war in Gaza and it’s surrounding neighboring countries like Lebanon has caused the worst civilian death ratio in recent modern warfare. That is the response to this stupid Zionist propaganda point about “not a peep outta”

Israel is awesome.

Israel killed a beloved Priest in Lebanon in their vicious bombing campaign in Christian villages.

But hey ..... "Israel is awesome". Is there anything else we need to know?

I'm not on anyone's side. Why would I want to be on the side of people who go around killing and then whinging because their own people get killed?
