As I said, I lean towards hoax here too. However, I'm not going to blindly dismiss it until I see it dismissed by people who know more than I do.
If this actually did, and I'm not sure it did, appear in an Israeli paper or news source, I'd like it checked out before I make a final decision.
It is a flat-out hoax, no matter what you choose to believe. Just look at the bleed-over of the color blue from earth in the background to the leading edge of the object in the foreground in the upper right corner of the photo. A sure sign of bad electronic photo editing.
