JERUSALEM — Living Bread Church in East Jerusalem is being targeted and has been the subject of three attacks in two weeks.
On Sept. 29, young men with ties to a Palestinian militant group wired shut a church door and sprayed a gaseous substance at those inside, church sources said.
On Sept. 17, a man passing by the church’s patio area opened a plastic bag containing a small gas canister inside. People on the porch fled into the church building only to find someone had pumped the same chemical spray into the worship hall, Living Bread Church leader Karen Dunham said.
No one was injured in either attack, but Dunham suffered a broken wrist in a Sept. 21 assault by young men from the same group.
