Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is vowing “harsh disciplinary action” against the IDF soldier who was caught on camera bashing the head of a Jesus statue in Lebanon with a sledgehammer.

“I was stunned and saddened to learn that an IDF soldier damaged a Catholic religious icon in southern Lebanon,” Netanyahu said Monday.

“I condemn the act in the strongest terms. Military authorities are conducting a criminal probe of the matter and will take appropriately harsh disciplinary action against the offender.”
