Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Veteran French striker Karim Benzema showed his support for Palestinians in Gaza with a post on the social media platform X on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“All our prayers for the inhabitants of Gaza who are once again victims of these unjust bombings which spare no women or children,” wrote the 35-year-old.<\/p>\n

Benzema, who won the 2022 men’s Ballon d’Or award, joined Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad after leaving Real Madrid in June.<\/p>\n

Hamas’s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, launched a comprehensive attack on Israel on Oct. 7 called Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, a multi-pronged surprise attack including a barrage of rocket launches and infiltrations into Israel via land, sea, and air.<\/p>\n

Hamas said the operation was in retaliation for the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem and Israeli settlers’ growing violence against Palestinians.<\/p>\n

The Israeli military then launched Operation Swords of Iron against Hamas targets within the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

Israel’s response has extended to cutting water and electricity supplies to Gaza, further worsening living conditions in an area that has endured a crippling siege since 2007, as well as ordering more than 1 million Gazans in the northern Strip to evacuate to the southern region.<\/p>\n

The number of Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza has risen to 2,670, the local Health Ministry said Sunday.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the ministry said that 750 children were among the dead. The number of wounded has risen to 9,600, it said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Israel\u2019s general death toll so far stands at 1,300, while the number of confirmed injured Israelis exceeds 3,400.<\/p>\n
