Israel bombed the historical National Evangelical Church in Alma al-Shaab, southern Lebanon, on Wednesday, marking the third Lebanese church targeted since the beginning of cross-border clashes on 8 October.
The house of the church's priest was hit directly by an Israeli shell, damaging the roof and several rooms within the home. The exterior of the church was also lightly damaged by shrapnel.
No one was injured in the shelling.
The National Evangelical Church was built in 1860 and is the second-oldest evangelical church in Lebanon and Syria.
