According to the Hollywood Reporter, an American media outlet, on the 9th (local time), the Palestinian armed group Hamas carried out a fatal attack on Israel. In response, Natalie Portman and Gal Gadot expressed their sympathy for Israel through their social media.
The Associated Press reported that the government press office under the Israeli Prime Minister's Office announced that more than 800 people were killed and more than 2,600 were injured due to Hamas attacks. The number of victims from both Israel and Hamas is reportedly as high as 1,500.
Gal Gadot, who has spoken out in support of Israel in the past, posted a screenshot of news on her social media that said Israeli soldiers and civilians were taken hostage by militants. Gal Gadot said, “At least 250 Israelis have been killed and dozens of women, children and elderly people taken hostage in the Gaza Strip by the Palestinian armed group Hamas.”
"More than 3,000 rockets have been fired since the morning. Hamas has taken control of a base in Israel and is taking hostages. 1,500 people have been injured and the fighting is still going on. I can hear their voices. I am with my two young children and it breaks my heart. “This hurts. I pray for everyone who is suffering,” he wrote.
Gal Gadot held up an Israeli flag and said, "I stand with Israel. You should too. We cannot remain silent when these horrific acts of terrorism are occurring." She debuted as a model after winning Miss Israel, and also served in the Israel Defense Forces for two years.
Madonna, who is Jewish, said: "My heart is broken for the people of Israel. Children, women and elderly people have been murdered and kidnapped from their homes. I am appalled by these barbaric acts and I will pray for all the families affected." “It is heartbreaking to watch. Imagine if something like this happened to you. My heart goes out to Israel. This tragic attack will only cause more pain for everyone,” he said.
Natalie Portman said, "I pray for all the families affected. My heart breaks for the people of Israel. Children, women and elderly people have been murdered and kidnapped from their homes. I am appalled by these barbaric acts." .
