<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>After defeating their rivals in Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas&#8217; Fatah movement, (Hamas is) focusing their attacks on Christians in Gaza City. Christians in Gaza City have issued an appeal to the<br />
international community and a plea for protection against the increased attacks.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>Father Manuel Musallem, head of Gaza&#8217;s Latin church, told the AP that Muslims have ransacked, burned and looted a school and convent that are part of the Gaza Strip&#8217;s small Romany Catholic community. He told the AP that crosses were broken, damage was done to a statue of Jesus, and at the Rosary Sister School and nearby convent, prayer books were burned.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>Gunmen used the roof of the school during the fighting, and the convent was &#8220;desecrated,&#8221; Mussalem told the AP. </em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>&#8220;Nothing happens by mistake these days,&#8221; he said.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>Father Musalam additionally told The Jerusalem Post that the Muslim gunmen used rocket-propeled grenades (RPGs) to blow through the doors of the church and school, before burning Bibles and destroying every cross they could get their hands on.</em></p>
