Several Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air raid in the violence-torn Gaza Strip prompting international outcry, including from Pakistani celebs like Saba Qamar, Feroze Khan, Asim Azhar among others.
Taking to Twitter on May 8 to condemn Israel’s atrocities that left nine Palestinians, including three children dead, Azhar wrote, “I am sickened & disgusted. How can you attack a place of worship and attack defenseless worshippers?”
I am sickened & disgusted. How can you attack a place of a worship & attack defenceless worshippers? And yet again, the world will stay silent on Israel’s continuous oppression on Palestine. Ya Allah reham! #IsraeliAttackonAlAqsa #PalestiniansLivesMatter
