The [Israeli](https://www.9news.com.au/israel) Defence Forces (IDF) has launched an investigation after confirming a photo showing one of its soldiers destroying a statue of Jesus Christ in southern [Lebanon](https://www.9news.com.au/lebanon) is real.
The image, initially shared by [Palestinian](https://www.9news.com.au/palestine) journalist Younis Tirawi on X, showed a soldier using a hammer to topple a statue of Jesus Christ.
Tirawi claimed the soldier was from the IDF and was operating in southern Lebanon, though it is unclear when the photo was taken.
The IDF has confirmed through multiple channels that the image is real and is now investigating the incident.
„Following the completion of an initial examination regarding a photograph published earlier today of an IDF soldier harming a Christian symbol, it was determined that the photograph depicts an IDF soldier operating in southern Lebanon,“ a statement on the IDF’s X account read.
The IDF claims they view the incident with „great severity“ and that the conduct of the soldier is „wholly inconsistent with the values expected of its troops.“
Israel had been conducting a military operation in southern Lebanon, where it was launching strikes against the militant group Hezbollah.
Attacks on Lebanon increased after the [USA](https://www.9news.com.au/usa) and [Iran](https://www.9news.com.au/iran) agreed to a ceasefire to temporarily halt their [conflict](https://www.9news.com.au/israel-iran-conflict), though Israel claimed Lebanon was not included.
Lebanon’s government claims Israeli strikes have killed more than 2000 people since March 2, and the UN said 303 people alone were killed in a 10-minute bombardment on April 8.
After officials from the two countries met last week, it was finally agreed that Lebanon would be included in the ceasefire.
The IDF claims it is operating in southern Lebanon to disrupt the operations of Hezbollah, which is aligned with Iran.
„The IDF is operating to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure established by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, and has no intention of harming civilian infrastructure, including religious buildings or religious symbols,“ it said in the statement.
And the Trump administration doesn’t care because they only use religion to further their agenda and this act doesn’t qualify.
I’m sorry but that could be a statue of any generic medical doctor
How will the Evangelicals spin this?
But reddit assured me hours ago this was fake…
Between this and Dr. Jesus Trump, wtf is going on?
But the bots where saying it’s two years old.
I hate how the new normal is that it’s almost impossible to trust anything you see because it very well could have been a two year old image and it very well could have been entirely generated.
Either way, this isn’t really that surprising. Or at least shouldn’t be. It’s not like it would be the first sign that Israel isn’t the friend of anyone but Israel and I doubt the hardcore maga-base will care much. They might squeel and throw some tantrums but they will still show up and vote meaning everyone else should as well.
No bueno
So Israel bomb mosques, synagogues and destroy figure of Christ. Hmm, what does the tell us.
„Did you strike him in the legs to hasten the end of the crucifixion, centurion?“
„His legs? Not exactly „
I’m sure Israel is very sorry people saw this happen and took a picture. In the future they’ll do their best to kill everyone with white phosphorous and cluster bombs so no one can take pictures next time
I would argue it’s a statue of a Red Cross doctor
He just did what every Israeli would do. The only pathetic thing about this whole incident is how much Evangelicals keep sucking up to the Israelis.
I’m sure they will „investigate“ and if they ever bother announcing the results some low rank person might get a slap on the wrist with a *wink* *wink*.
Uhm there are literal videos of extreme jewish, as in religiously jewish in this context, spitting at christians in jerusalem
There has always been hardcore jews who hate Christianity
…that is who the evangelicals align themselves with
It’s okay. The statue threw rocks.
It’s clearly just a statue of a Red Cross doctor, which the IDF supports.
Also, how silly, they are there to steal land and murder actual people. Yet how dare he consecrate some statue? What’s with all the pearl clutching, as if they don’t know exactly why they are there and who sent them?
Jesus Christ.
Maybe the soldier thought it was a doctor statue?
He was smashing the Middle Eastern Jesus. That guy did all sorts of weird shit like helping poor people and foreigners. Total loser. Gotta smash him and put up a statue of American Jesus. He is all about tariffs and hating brown people.
Am I reading it right.? This story is not about Trump . This is about an Israeli soldier smashing a Christian symbol or some thing and confirmed by IDF
If it were Islamic iconography being defaced, western media wouldn’t give a shit.
Let me guess, Hamas was inside?
This picture is ***“DOCTOR’d”***
^we ^joke ^but ^I’m ^crying ^on ^the ^inside
Does the soldier know that Jesus was a Jew?
You know times are dark when they don’t even bother lying.
But showing the picture is anti Semitic, I bet
Wonder what kind of mental gymnastics the MAGA Christians will accomplish to keep supporting the Israeli cause
The photo is fake, it is staged by goyim
They should see the videos of Israelis spitting on Christians as they go to church in Jerusalem. Such a great democracy just like ours.
Could have been worse! Could have been Santa Claus!
As a devout Christian, I say “who gives a F?!”
This is the least of the crap the IDF is up to. Everything under Netanyahu is akin to everything under Trump. Worst global duo since WW2.
Article misspelled terrorist as defence
They will be sorry and some slap on the wrist for that soldier. Meanwhile, the murder of actual living and breathing people continues.
Can we all stop giving a fuck about religion already
