Israeli actress Gal Gadot has used her social media platforms to show support for her country amid the ongoing conflict with Hamas. The conflict began when militants from Hamas entered Israel, resulting in over 1,200 deaths according to the Israeli military. Hamas claimed the attack was in response to worsening conditions for Palestinians living under Israeli occupation.

In retaliation, Israel launched "Operation Swords of Iron" and has been conducting airstrikes on the densely populated Gaza Strip. Additionally, Israel has blocked the entry of essential supplies like food, fuel, and medicine into Gaza, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the territory.

Further escalating the violence, an explosion at al-Ahli Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip resulted in more casualties, with differing accounts from Palestinian militants and Israeli authorities about the cause.

In the midst of the conflict, Gal Gadot has focused her social media feeds on highlighting the situation of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. She shared an image of the Star of David with the statement "I stand with Israel" and called for others to join her. Using the hashtags "#ReleaseTheHostages" and "#BringThemBack," Gadot has been praised by some for using her platform to raise awareness.

However, there has also been a flood of comments calling for "Free Palestine" on her posts. While Gadot has not directly addressed the issue of Palestine, she did make a statement acknowledging the suffering of both Palestinians and Israelis and urging people to question their biases.
