There is no information yet about who did this, but it is noteworthy that the church was just repaired. “The subject peoples … are forbidden to build new churches.” (Reliance of the Traveller, o11.5). Islamic law also forbids Christians to repair existing churches. That this was a jihad attack cannot be ruled out.
