A suspected arson attack overnight damaged a revered shrine in northern Israel where Christians believe Jesus performed a miracle, and police briefly detained 16 young Jewish settlers over the incident on Thursday.
The Church of the Multiplication at Tabgha, on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, is where many Christians believe Jesus fed the 5,000 in the miracle of the five loaves and two fish. Some 5,000 people visit the site each day, and Israeli President Reuven Rivlin called the incident a “terrible desecration of an ancient and holy place of prayer.” — AFP
