Tel Aviv, Israel: Israeli actor Rona-Lee Shimon, celebrated for her leading role in the popular web series \u2018Fauda,\u2019 has pledged her commitment to opposing Hamas in light of the terrorist group\u2019s attack on her country.
\nDeeply moved by the loss of innocent lives in attacks by Hamas, the actress is determined to take action.
\nIn an exclusive interview with ANI, Shimon candidly discussed the Hamas brutality. When asked if she\u2019s ready to fight against Hamas, Shimon responded, \u201cI will do everything in my power to have Israel win.\u201d<\/p>\n
The actor has appreciated India\u2019s solidarity with Israel and its condemnation of the October 7 attack by Hamas terrorists from the blockaded Gaza Strip into Israeli towns resulting in the loss of hundreds of Israeli civilian lives and the capture of more than 100 hostages. Israel swiftly retaliated with airstrikes on Gaza that have killed hundreds of Palestinians.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly. I feel grateful to have an ally, a beautiful ally like India. India is one of my favourite places on Earth. I love its people. I can really understand why the first thing that you guys did was to condemn the horrible action of October 7th in Israel. I would expect nothing less, but I want to say with utmost gratefulness in my heart. I think it\u2019s the best thing that you guys can do for us is condemn this horrible terror and stand by your side.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shimon struggled to control her emotions recalling the brutal events on October 7 perpetrated by Hamas. \u201cWe\u2019re in the midst of a war. It\u2019s going to result in more suffering for many lives, but we will prevail. We are preparing, and our first priority is to bring our hostages home,\u201d she said.
\nOn Saturday, the Israeli military confirmed that 126 people are being held as hostages by Hamas. According to media reports the Palestinian terror group has warned that it will kill hostages in response to unannounced Israeli strikes on civilian targets.<\/p>\n
Numerous reports have indicated that after the October 7 attack, Hamas gunmen took children, women and individuals from various nationalities possibly taken from their homes and from a wooded area near the Israeli border where they participated in a music festival.
\nActor Shimon who in \u2018Fauda\u2019 essayed the character of Nurit a member of Israel\u2019s counter-terrorism unit in the interview with ANI said that her country is doing everything to bring the hostages back.
\nShe called Hamas\u2019s attack one of the most horrific atrocities ever made in the history of Israel.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think first of all me and everyone I know in Israel, every civilian, every citizen of Israel is now supporting the cause of first of all, bringing the hostages back. We are doing everything in our power to bring them back. What happened eight days ago is one of the most horrific atrocities ever in the history of my people,\u201d the 40-year-old actor said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is worrisome on so many levels, but what we\u2019re doing right now is what is the most important thing that you can do and what we must do right now is bring the hostages back,\u201d Shimon said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are supporting the army. We\u2019re taking care of our army. We are in the middle of war. It\u2019s going to be even more bad for a lot, a lot of human lives, but we are going to prevail. We are getting ready and first thing that we\u2019re doing is bringing our hostages back,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
