A decal was placed on one of the rockets, with a Quranic verse about Mary and then an additional, non-Quranic verse, saying, "In revenge for all Christ's suffering."
Quran 4:157 explicitly says the Jews did not kill Jesus. While the first verse is Quranic the call for revenge to Jews for killing Jesus has nothing to do with Islam.
Iran is trying to get Christian antisemites on their side in this war.
Arabic sites and social media reporting on this understand the message clearly, saying that the IRGC caption accompanying the video says, "This missile is revenge for Christ and his mother Mary for what they suffered at your hands, O Jews."
Antisemites are being increasingly recognized as an important influential bloc by many on the Right, the Left and the Muslim world. Ten years ago they subtly pushed antisemitism, now they are trying to curry favor with antisemites to join their cause and not the others.
