'Israeli' soldier photographed carrying missile inscribed “In Memory of Charlie Kirk”

A photo circulating online on Friday shows an 'Israeli' soldier carrying a missile marked with the words “In memory of Charlie Kirk,” drawing widespread criticism on social media.

The image comes amid 'Israel’s' aggression on Gaza, where airstrikes and ground operations have killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, mostly women and children, and displaced hundreds of thousands.

Critics on social media condemned the missile’s inscription as “provocative” and “deeply offensive,” linking it to the recent fatal shooting of US conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Many viewed the act as an apparent glorification of violence.

Human rights groups and observers have repeatedly criticized targeting of civilians and infrastructure, and images like this have further inflamed tensions online.

The 'Israeli' military has not issued any comment regarding the photograph or the inscription.
