An Israeli soldier posed with a smile in front of a church strewn with rubble in southern Lebanon. An image of the woman holding a rifle sparked outrage among the media and local officials. The mayor of Al-Kawza appealed to the Pope to protect the 120-year-old St. Joseph's Church. A French Catholic association expressed its support and said that "attacks on religious sites are unacceptable".
