These are some of the weapons seized from the Church of the Nativity, which were left behind by the armed Palestinian terrorists who burst into what is regarded as the birthplace of Jesus, and held dozens of priests hostage for more than a month.
The Palestinians left behind 40 bombs, most in the form of booby traps in the Church, as well as various machine guns, grenades and other weapons.
As the world press entered the Church, it became apparent that the Palestinians vandalize and desecrated the church during their reign of terror inside one of Christianity's holiest places.
