Mark Regev, a senior adviser to the Israeli prime minister has said: "We don't shoot people who are going to church to pray, it just doesn't happen, that's not the way the IDF operates".

Mr Regev was responding to reports that an Israeli military sniper shot and killed two women inside the Holy Family Parish in Gaza City on Saturday, according to the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.

The IDF is conducting a thorough review of the incident."
