Israel accused of destroying Christian convent in Lebanon in latest attack on Christians A Catholic charity has condemned Israel after its forces destroyed a convent in southern Lebanon , in what it said is a deliberate attack on a place of worship. The French organisation L'Oeuvre d'Orient said Israeli troops demolished a convent belonging to the Salvatorian Sisters, a Greek Catholic religious order, in the village of Yaroun. “L'Oeuvre d'Orient strongly condemns this deliberate act of destruction against a place of worship, as well as the systematic demolition of homes in southern Lebanon aimed at preventing the return of civilian populations,” the group said in a statement on Friday.
