American singer Justin Bieber on his page on the social network Instagram (owned by the extremist corporation Meta, banned in Russia) expressed solidarity with the residents of Israel. However, he accompanied this post with a photograph supposedly destroyed after the bombing and shelling of Gaza.
Bieber, with the words “Praying for Israel,” posted a photograph that presumably shows one of the streets of Gaza destroyed by the IDF.
After a short time, the artist realized that he had done something wrong. He deleted the photo of Gaza, leaving only the caption.
On the morning of October 7, a massive missile strike was launched against Israel. The Islamist movement Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, claimed responsibility for the attack.
In response, Jerusalem launched the counter-terrorism Operation Iron Swords. Its first phase ended by the night of October 8.
On October 10, the Israel Defense Forces announced the launch of a large-scale attack on Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip. Israeli planes struck several Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, including an arsenal and a command post. The command operation post in Jebaliya was also attacked.
