Recently, in the village of Dibble in southern Lebanon, an extremely outrageous event occurred. An Israeli soldier damaged a statue of Jesus Christ, as reported by the Lebanese news portal Lebanon Debate. The portal's message emphasizes: “An Israeli soldier smashed the head of the statue of the prophet Jesus Christ during a raid.”

Previous Acts of Vandalism
Last summer, Jerusalem witnessed another act of vandalism. Unknown perpetrators desecrated the sacred stones of the Western Wall by inscribing a pro-Palestinian slogan on them. A shocking statement about a “holocaust in the Gaza Strip” appeared on the historic monument.
The Rabbi of the Western Wall and Holy Sites, Shmuel Rabinovich, strongly condemned the actions of these vandals. He emphasized that holy sites should never be used for political protests under any circumstances. The rabbi called for an immediate investigation into this incident to find and bring the perpetrators to justice.
