Italian UN Peacekeepers Fund New Crucifix After Vandalism of Lebanese Church

1 / 2

In southern Lebanon, an Israeli patrol removed a crucifix from a local church and replaced it with a smaller replica taken from another chapel. Italian soldiers serving with the UNIFIL peacekeeping mission raised funds to commission an exact replica of the original statue. They presented the new crucifix to the church to restore what was lost. The smaller crucifix has since been returned to its original location, and the Italian-donated statue stands in its place as a symbol of solidarity and respect.
