The ‘Wonder Woman’ actress served in the Israel Defense Forces as part of the country’s compulsory military service.
Palestinian movement Hamas launched a surprise series of coordinated attacks on Israel, firing rockets from the Gaza Strip as its fighters crossed over the border. Israel then carried out strikes on Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas, declaring that Israel was now « at war. »
Gadot took to her Instagram to express her solidarity with Israel, where she served in the Israel Defense Forces under the country’s compulsory military service laws.
« At least 250 Israeli have been murdered and dozens of women children and elders held as hostages in Gaza, by Palestinian military group Hamas, » Gadot wrote on Sunday alongside a screenshot of a BBC story about the conflict. « Starting early morning more than 3,000 rockets were fired. Hamas is holding hostages, controlling bases and settlements in Israel. There have been more than 1,500 injured and heavy fighting is still ongoing.
« ‘I hear their voices and they are banging on the door. I am with my two little children’. My heart is aching. Praying for all of those in pain. »
Later that day, Gadot posted a picture of the Star of David on a blue background with the words: « I stand with Israel. »
She captioned the post: « I stand with Israel you should too.
