Israeli soldiers punished over vandalism of Jesus statue in Lebanon
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has ordered 30 days of military detention and removal from combat duty for two soldiers—one who vandalized a Jesus statue with a sledgehammer in Debel, southern Lebanon, and another who photographed the incident—while six other soldiers present face separate disciplinary action. The incident sparked widespread condemnation, including from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee; the IDF has replaced the damaged statue in coordination with the local community, emphasizing its operations target only Hezbollah and terrorist groups, not Lebanese civilians.
