Gaza Baptist Church

As it reads on Wikipedia · 1 finding marked in the text · see twenty years of this article's openings

The Gaza Baptist Church (Arabic: الكنيسة المعمدانية) is a Baptist church in Gaza City, Gaza, Palestine. The church was partially destroyed during Israeli bombings in 2008, after which the church's pastor, and many of the congregation, subsequently fled the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Baptist Church is one of only three Christian churches in the Gaza Strip, and the only one that is Protestant and evangelical – the two remaining Christian churches in the Gaza Strip are the Catholic Church of the Holy Family and the Eastern Orthodox Church of Saint Porphyrius. The Gaza Baptist Church had a congregation of about 200 worshippers, as of 2008. Having been adversely affected by ongoing violence related to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and as a result of this situation and of ongoing Israeli travel restrictions, the Church's leadership, including its pastor, still lives in exile. The church, however, continues to meet, sometimes online when the regional conflict requires.

What the highlighted wording does
1
㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
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.
