IDF Chanukah Tweet Creeps People out

During Chanukah, the IDF Spokesperson twitter account posted various images of soldiers lighting Chanukah candles. The posted photo was accompanied with a short description of what the soldier does - e.g. plays tuba by day, lights candles at night.
This one seems to have upset some.

Haaretz is claiming that it "creeped out the international audeince". Despite saying that , Haaretz fails to actually quote any diplomat or other member of the "international crowd" complaining about the imagery or symbolism of the image.
