A controversial image circulating online has sparked widespread outrage after allegedly showing an Israeli soldier placing a cigarette into the mouth of a Virgin Mary statue in southern Lebanon. The incident reportedly took place in the Christian-majority village of Debel near the Israel-Lebanon border amid ongoing Israel-Hezbollah tensions. The IDF has confirmed the incident and stated that the soldier’s behavior is under investigation, calling it a serious violation of military values. The case has further intensified debate following a previous incident involving damage to a religious statue in the same area, raising concerns over conduct during military operations and respect for religious sites.
