Jamie Lee Curtis has received criticism online after sharing a photo from Gaza in a post supporting Israel.It comes after Hamas operatives launched an attack against Israel over the weekend, with over 700 people in Israel and 600 people in Gaza confirmed to have died since the attacks were launched on Saturday (October 7), according to BBC News.Curtis is among a number of celebrities who have shown support for Israel, the Oscar-winning actress sharing a picture of children looking to the sky, along with the caption “terror from the skies” and an Israeli flag, in a since-deleted Instagram post.The picture in question was actually taken by Gaza-based photojournalist Samar Abu Elouf, who shared the post over the weekend with the description: “Palestinian families seek refuge with their children from the northern Gaza Strip to UNRWA schools inside Gaza City, children are afraid of the sound of bombing who hear it during their presence due to the events on the Strip’s borders.”A post shared by Samar Abu Elouf (@samarabuelouf)Curtis has since received criticism on social media over the post, one person writing: “Jamie Lee Curtis posted the picture to get sympathy for Israel when it’s literally Palestinian kids… you can’t make this up…”.Another added: “Not that I expect Jamie Lee Curtis to be a reliable source but I’m baffled by her posting this picture, implying these are Israeli children based on her other posts and the flag, but tags the photographer who clearly says these are Palestinian children.”A few more have shared their thoughts:Jamie Lee Curtis posted the picture to get sympathy for Israel when it’s literally Palestinian kids… you can’t make this up…

U2’s Bono pays tribute to 260 music fans killed in Israel festival attack
U2 frontman Bono has paid tribute to the 260 music fans killed during an Israel festival attack while on stage in Las Vegas.The moment took place when the Irish singer was on stage with the band as part of their ongoing Las Vegas residency – held at the new $2billion Sphere venue. Around mid-way through the set, he took time to speak to the audience and shared his condolences for the events unfolding across Israel and Palestine, stating that his prayers go out particularly to those who died at a music festival.The event he referred to is the attack launched at the Paralello Universo festival in Re’im, Israel over the weekend (Saturday, October 7), which was carried out by Hamas operatives.The electronic festival was interrupted in the early hours of Saturday morning, and reportedly saw rockets hit the site around 6:30am (via CNN) before gunfire opened up on those in attendance soon after.Earlier today (October 9), it was announced that 260 people were killed at the festival, while hundreds more remain missing.During the band’s performance at the Nevada residency last night, frontman Bono dedicated his hit 2003 song ‘Pride (In the Name of Love)’ to the victims, and shared his hopes for a non-violent solution to the conflict.In the light of what’s happened in Israel and Gaza, a song about non-violence seems somewhat ridiculous, even laughable, but our prayers have always been for peace and for non-violence…But our hearts and our anger, you know where that’s pointed.
