The escalation of Israeli shelling and airstrikes resulting in the tragic loss of multiple lives in the southern Gaza city of Rafah had led to a worldwide campaign condemning the killings. Now, Israel have come up with a counter to that.
The “All Eyes on Rafah” campaign gained momentum on social media as the war-torn enclave has been suffering from a humanitarian catastrophe for nearly seven months now.
Israel’s new campaign — “Where were your eyes on October 7th?” — however serves to remind people of the October 7 Hamas-led attacks that killed 1,200 people.
The “All Eyes on Rafah” phrase signified solidarity with Palestinians affected by the strikes and has been trending worldwide on social media. Several Indian celebrities, including Priyanka Chopra, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Alia Bhatt, Richa Chadha, Kareena Kapoor, and Varun Dhawan, among others, have voiced their support by sharing the viral phrase on their respective Instagram stories.
Israeli bombardments on Tuesday targeted a cluster of tents in Al-Mawasi, west of Rafah, resulting in the deaths of at least 21 people, as reported by Gaza health authorities. Among the deceased, at least 12 were women, as per medical officials.
The violence came days after an Israeli attack triggered a blaze in a camp housing displaced Palestinians in a western district of the city, claiming the lives of at least 45 people. In response to the brutal attack, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that a ‘tragic mistake’ had been made.
