Former US presidential hopeful Nikki Haley has been photographed writing "Finish Them" on an Israeli shell as she toured sites near the northern border with Lebanon.
The photograph was posted on X by Danny Danon, a member of the Israeli parliament and former ambassador to the United Nations, who was accompanying Ms Haley on her visit.
"'Finish Them'. This is what my friend the former ambassador Nikki Haley wrote," Mr Danon said in his post that showed a kneeling Ms Haley writing on a shell with a purple marker pen.
Ms Haley was a UN envoy under Donald Trump, and her term overlapped with Mr Danon.
Finish them!

She abandoned her White House bid in March after heavy defeats in Republican primary contests to Mr Trump, and last week said that she would vote for him in the election.
Mr Trump has ruled her out of contention to be his vice president, but she is a potential presidential runner in 2028.
The White House has said that President Joe Biden has no plans to change his Israel policy following a deadly weekend strike on Rafah, but that he is not turning a "blind eye" to the plight of Palestinian civilians.
