A near disaster took place in Israel. Iran launched missiles into the Old City of Jerusalem. The missiles were intercepted. However, the debris landed just a few feet away from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. One of the most sacred sites in Christianity, believed to be the place of Jesus’ crucifixion, burial, and resurrection.

Just a reminder, the only reason Christian holy sites in the Old City of Jerusalem remain standing, is because it is part of Israel. If the Palestinians controlled the Old City of Jerusalem’s Christian Quarter, all traces of Christianity would be attacked and destroyed. Exactly what the Palestinians have tragically done to the once flourishing Christian community in Bethlehem.

Near disaster at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
As Iran continues to fire missiles indiscriminately at civilians, it doesn’t care who it kills… Jews, Christians, or Muslims.
It only cares about killing Israelis. https://t.co/8y6DSjSkpD

Iran missile strike nearly hit Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem
Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a sacred Christian site in the Old City, came under unexpected threat as missile fragments fell nearby on the 17th day of the conflict between Iran and Israel.
By Greek City Times, March 16th, 2026
The church houses two of Christianity’s most revered sites: Golgotha, the hill where Jesus was crucified, and the empty tomb where he was buried and resurrected.
Israeli authorities reported that an Iranian ballistic missile barrage, intercepted over Jerusalem, scattered fragments across the city. The Fire Department confirmed that a large piece struck a residence in East Jerusalem, causing property damage but no injuries.
According to the Times of Israel, additional fragments landed near the National Library, not far from the Knesset, and close to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City.
