TV presenter and blogger Ksenia Sobchak empathizes with the events unfolding in Israel after the attacks of the Hamas movement.
“For me, an important symbol of what is happening now in my second homeland is a naked girl captured by militants, lying in the back of a car rushing through the Arab quarter. It is this frame that is so imprinted in the brain that it will definitely change the course of history in the Middle East,” Sobchak wrote on social networks. As you can understand from the post, she is very worried. “I have the blood of my ancestors, including Jewish,” the TV presenter emphasized.
Sobchak also said that people close to her – Natalya Ionova (Glukoza) with her husband Alexander Chistyakov and daughters – went to Israel for a Bruno Mars concert. However, due to the ongoing hostilities, the family spends its second child in a bomb shelter. They hope to return to Russia tomorrow.
As the journalist shared on the “Bloody Lady” Telegram channel, a number of her acquaintances, after the start of the SVO, left for Israel, where they quickly received citizenship, and now they post photographs in helmets. According to the presenter, reservists are also being called up. “They ran away from Russian mobilization into Israeli mobilization,” Sobchak notes.
Let us remind you that the previous morning, Israeli territories were attacked by 2,000 rockets from the Gaza Strip. Later, Hamas militants broke through the border in the south of the country. Several settlements were captured, Israeli soldiers and local residents were captured and taken to the Gaza Strip. Israel said it was “at war.” IDF forces are trying to retake captured settlements: fighting continues in 22 settlements. Tel Aviv is also preparing a ground operation against Hamas. In addition, the parties to the conflict are exchanging missile strikes. Residential buildings, mosques and synagogues were destroyed. The death toll on the Israeli side exceeded 600 people, on the Palestinian side – 413, 2,156 Israelis suffered from Hamas actions, and about 2,300 people were injured in the Gaza Strip.
