Italian Peacekeepers Restore Jesus Statue in Southern Lebanon After Vandalism Incident

In a significant act of reconciliation, Italian peacekeepers have replaced a vandalized statue of Jesus in the Lebanese village of Debel, which was damaged by an Israeli soldier. This incident, which sparked outrage among Christian communities, led to the detention of two soldiers and questioning of six others by Israeli authorities. The village, severely affected by ongoing conflict, has seen its population dwindle from 4,000 to about 1,600, with limited access to food and medical supplies.
