On 16 December 2023, two Palestinian Christians, Nahida Khalil Anton and her daughter Samar Kamal Anton, were shot and killed while they were walking inside the grounds of the Holy Family Church to go to the bathroom during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.[1][2] The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem said that the shots were fired by an Israeli sniper.[3] The IDF has repeatedly denied this.[4]
