(MENAFN) A mass has been held to reopen a Roman Catholic Church in northern Israel badly damaged in an arson attack by Jewish extremists in 2015.
The church at Tabgha, on the Sea of Galilee, is built where Christians believe Jesus performed the miracle of the loaves and fishes, also known as the Feeding of the 5,000.
The eight-month renovation work cost some $1m ("800,000).
Three Jewish extremists have been indicted but not yet sentenced.
