Many religious sites were closed this Christmas amid the fighting between Israel and Hamas.
Iran-backed Hezbollah fired missiles that hit a church in Israel, wounding ten on Tuesday.
The Israeli military says it is protecting historic holy sites while Hamas is using religious sites to store its weapons.
We spoke with Rabbi Abraham Cooper about the moral and historical implications of this war during the Christmas season.
Rabbi Cooper chairs the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.
