Gaza Baptist Church is one of only three Christian churches left in Gaza, whose leader was murdered in 2007. Through 2020 the opening said that after 'the murder of a Church leader by unidentified militants in 2007, a number of others were advised by the Gaza authorities to leave Gaza for their own safety.' Today the opening carries no mention of that murder, though the word survives once elsewhere in the body. A reader today learns the church's pastor fled after Israeli bombing in 2008 and not that its leader had already been murdered by militants the year before.
