The latest attack by Jihadist rebels against Christians in Syria resulted in the deaths of at least 12 people, including six children.
The younger victims were attending a Sunday school class at the Apostle Paul Cathedral in the small Syrian city of Al Skeilbiyyeh, when the remnants of terrorist groups still embedded in the countryside of northern Hama and Idlib province attacked the predominately Greek Orthodox town with rockets and machine gun fire.
The same cathedral had been targeted by jihadi terrorists in 2016 as the Divine Liturgy was being held.
Al Skeilbiyyeh has some 20,000 residents, of which 12 to 15,000 are Christians.
