The Israeli military has imposed a 30-day military detention on two soldiers responsible for vandalizing a statue of Jesus Christ in Debel, a Christian village in southern Lebanon. This incident, which involved one soldier using a sledgehammer to strike the statue's head, has sparked widespread condemnation. The military stated that the soldiers' actions were inconsistent with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) values and operations, which are intended to target only terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and not Lebanese civilians. In response to the backlash, the IDF coordinated with the local community to replace the damaged statue with a crucifix. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his shock and sadness over the incident, labeling it unacceptable and promising strict disciplinary measures against those involved. The military's inquiry also noted that six other soldiers present during the incident will face disciplinary discussions for their inaction.
