Lebanese Maronite Catholic priest killed by Israeli tank fire in southern Lebanon
Source: National Catholic Reporter

Fr. Pierre al-Rahi, also known by his French name Pierre el-Raï, had earlier refused, along with other priests, to obey an order by the Israeli military to evacuate the Christian village of Qlayaa, a Maronite village of some 8,000 inhabitants in the Marjayoun district, a few miles from the Israeli border.

"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 al-Rahi "was ministering to his distressed parishioners in the village" when the attack occurred.
