Missile Hits Palestinian Bible Society building in Gaza

Official reports society building sustained major damage.

Christianity Today January 9, 2009

According to reliable sources, the building that houses both the Palestinian Bible Society and Teacher’s Bookshop and is located in downtown Gaza City has been hit by a missile. The shop is a ministry of the PBS.

Details are not confirmed at this point. But here’s what CT has learned:

The building of our Bible bookshop and offices in Gaza was targeted with a missile. The damages are unclear, but there is news that one empty floor has been completely destroyed. The source of the missile is also unknown. This is all fresh news, and we will keep you updated on how to pray.

The bookshop has not been open since the murder of the shop manager, Rami Ayyad, in October 2007. This building of the Bible Society is a different building than the Gaza Baptist structure, which received some collateral damage after Israeli forces attacked the police station across the street from Gaza Baptist.
