Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday condemned in the "strongest terms" an incident involving an IDF soldier allegedly striking a statue of Jesus Christ in southern Lebanon.
In a post on X, Netanyahu said, "Yesterday, like the overwhelming majority of Israelis, I was stunned and saddened to learn that an IDF soldier damaged a Catholic religious icon in southern Lebanon. I condemn the act in the strongest terms. Military authorities are conducting a criminal probe of the matter and will take appropriately harsh disciplinary action against the offender."
