A Jewish extremist has been convicted of setting fire to a church in Israel which Christians believe is built at the site of one of Jesus’ miracles.
Yinon Reuveni set light to the Roman Catholic church at Tabgha, on the Sea of Galilee, in 2015, the court found.
It is said to be where Jesus performed the miracle of the loaves and fishes, also known as the Feeding of the 5,000.
The attack caused extensive damage to a shop and other buildings in the complex at the Church of the Multiplication.
