Ramallah. They said it had destroyed the church by “mistake”.
The Israeli soldiers realized the place was a religious after blowing up the gate and entering
the grounds. An army spokeswoman said: “It was very dark and the soldiers couldn't see
anything identifying the structure, there was no sign showing it was a religious place.”

Sad to say I think you are right AllforJesus.why?

I dont believe it was done on purpose
Look, the plain and simple fact is, Israel need the US, the UK, and other Christian nations for allies. If they knew it was a Christian church they were damaging, they most likey would not have done it.
Be careful of the media, especially now. They are doing anything they can think of to withdraw our sympathy from Israel.
of course christians have never killed any jews before.
Hey - my question is: do you have any other sources for this supposed occurrence other than that very decidedly biased website?
