AhlulBayt News Agency: Pope Francis, asked on Sunday about Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah as well as non-combatants, criticized military attacks that he said go "beyond morality."
On the flight back to Rome from Belgium, the pontiff stated that countries cannot go "over the top" in using their military forces. "Even in war, there is a morality to safeguard," he said. "War is immoral. But the rules of war give it some morality."
Francis also mentioned that he speaks on the phone with members of a Catholic parish in Gaza "every day." He shared that the Palestinian parishioners inform him about conditions on the ground and "also the cruelty that is happening there."
