以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡周一表示,他对一张以色列士兵在黎巴嫩南部用大锤击打耶稣基督雕像的照片感到“震惊和悲痛”。
“我以最强烈的措辞谴责这一行为,”内塔尼亚胡在X平台的帖子中写道,并补充称军方当局将对“违规者采取严厉的纪律处分”。
“我们对这一事件以及由此给黎巴嫩及全球信徒带来的任何伤害表示遗憾,”这位以色列领导人在帖子中说道。

以色列国防军周一早些时候在X平台的帖子中证实了这张迅速在社交媒体上传播的照片的真实性,表示该事件“性质极其严重”,并称“该士兵的行为完全不符合对其部队的期望价值观”。
以色列军方补充称,以色列北部司令部正在调查这一事件,目前正“通过指挥链处理此事”。
军方表示将“对相关人员采取适当措施”,但未提供更多细节。
以色列军队表示,正与黎巴嫩当地社区合作“将雕像恢复原位”,并补充称,以色列“正在着手拆除真主党在黎巴嫩南部建立的恐怖基础设施,无意伤害包括宗教建筑或宗教象征在内的民用基础设施”。
据当地媒体报道,被推倒的雕像位于以色列边境附近的基督教村庄代卜勒,该地区已被以色列国防军占领数周,迫使数万名居民疏散。
“一名以色列士兵打碎了十字架,做出了这种可怕的事情,这种对我们神圣象征的亵渎,”该镇的牧师法迪·法费勒告诉路透社。
美国驻以色列大使迈克·赫卡比周一在X平台的帖子中表示,“需要迅速、严厉且公开的后果”。
此次事件发生之际,以色列和黎巴嫩于周四达成了为期10天的停火协议,以停止以色列国防军与伊朗支持的真主党之间的战斗。此前,真主党向以色列发射火箭弹,以报复美国和以色列对伊朗的打击,以色列随后入侵黎巴嫩南部。
黎巴嫩官员表示,以色列在黎巴嫩的军事攻势已造成近2300人死亡,超过100万人流离失所。
2025年7月,以色列袭击了加沙唯一的天主教堂,造成至少三人死亡,教堂神父受伤。这一事件促使全球基督教领袖敦促以色列停止在加沙和约旦河西岸摧毁圣地和平民生命的行为。

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that he was “stunned and saddened” by a photo of an Israeli soldier striking a statue of Jesus Christ with a sledgehammer in southern Lebanon.
“I condemn the act in the strongest terms,” Netanyahu wrote in a post on X, adding that military authorities would take “harsh disciplinary action against the offender.”
“We express regret for the incident and for any hurt this has caused to believers in Lebanon and around the world,” the Israeli leader said in his post.

Confirming the authenticity of the photo, which spread quickly on social media, the Israel Defense Forces said earlier Monday in a post on X that it was taking the incident with “great severity,” adding that the “soldier’s conduct is wholly inconsistent with the values expected of its troops.”
The incident is being investigated by the Israeli Northern Command and is currently being “addressed through the chain of command,” the military added.
It said “appropriate measures will be taken against those involved” but provide any further detail.
The Israel army said it was working with the community in Lebanon to “restore the statue to its place,” adding that it 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.”
According to local media, the fallen statue was in the Christian village of Debl, near the Israeli border in an area IDF forces have occupied for several weeks, forcing the evacuation of tens of thousands of residents.
“One of the Israeli soldiers broke the cross and did this horrible thing, this desecration of our holy symbols,” Fadi Falfel, a priest in the town, told the Reuters news agency.
Mike Huckabee, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, said in a post Monday on X that “swift, severe & public consequences are needed.”
The incident comes after Israel and Lebanon agreed to a 10-day ceasefire on Thursday to stop fighting between the IDF and the Iran-backed group Hezbollah. Israeli forces invaded the south of Lebanon as Hezbollah launched rocket attacks on Israel in retaliation for the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.
Lebanese officials say nearly 2,300 people have been killed by the Israeli offensive in the country, which has displaced more than 1 million others.
In July 2025, Israel struck the only Catholic Church in Gaza, killing at least three people and wounding its priest. The incident prompted Christian leaders from around the world to urge Israel to stop its destruction of holy sites and civilian lives in Gaza and the West Bank.
