Gaza Archbishop says Hamas shot rockets from church

Gaza's Archbishop says that his church, which provided shelter to some 2,000 Muslims during Operation Protective Edge, was used as a launching pad for Hamas' rockets.
Alexios took CBN News to the roof terrace outside his office to show how Islamists used the church compound to launch rockets into Israel. He refused to discuss details on camera for security reasons, but days after the war started, Israeli missiles targeted an area close to the church sanctuary.
Little is left of one of two minarets that used to stand tall here, not too far from the Mediterranean. It was a major mosque in the area and was reportedly hit by seven Israeli missiles.
The Israeli government said places like mosques and hospitals in densely populated areas are routinely used by Hamas to fire off their rockets.
I'm surprised Hamas didn't 'use' the opportunity to turn their guns on Gaza's Christians.
