‘Israeli’ soldier seen destroying statue of Jesus in Lebanon

An image circulating online on Sunday shows a soldier from ‘Israel’ destroying a statue of Jesus Christ in a village in southern Lebanon.

The image, which surfaced earlier Sunday, appears to capture the moment the statue was damaged by a member of the 'Israeli' forces while in the area.

The 'Israeli' army confirmed the authenticity of the material and said a military police investigation has been launched, claiming that the act violates military orders.

The incident has sparked strong condemnation across Lebanon, with officials and local communities describing it as a serious violation of religious sanctities.
