The damaged mausoleum of Simon Peter, the Apostle of Christ, in Shama, southern Lebanon
@sahouraxo
Israel has obliterated the mausoleum of Simon Peter, the Apostle of Christ, in Shama, southern Lebanon.
A sacred site that has stood for over 2,000 years, now lies in ruins.
This is not “self-defense”.
This is a war crime and a crime against history. pic.twitter.com/YpxTzPhWRl
