  "abstract": "The first deep field images from the \\textit{James Webb Space Telescope} (JWST) of the galaxy cluster SMACS~J0723.3-7327 reveal a wealth of new lensed images at uncharted infrared wavelengths, with unprecedented depth and resolution. Here we securely identify 13 new sets of multiply lensed galaxies totalling 39 images, adding to the five sets of bright and multiply-imaged galaxies already known from Hubble data. We find examples of arcs crossing critical curves with magnification factors of at least 150, allowing detailed community follow-up, including JWST spectroscopy for precise redshift determinations, chemical abundances and detailed internal gas dynamics of very distant, young galaxies. We also detect an Einstein cross candidate only visible thanks to JWST's superb resolution. Our \\emph{parametric} lens model is available through at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gwup2lvks0jsqe5/AAC2RRSKce0aX-lIFCc9vhBXa?dl=0 , and will be regularly updated using additional spectroscopic redshifts. The model reproduces very well the multiple images, and allows for accurate magnification estimates of high-redshift galaxies. This work represents a first taste of the enhanced power JWST will have for lensing-related science.",
