Melbourne: Several prominent Indian celebrities have publicly condemned the recent Israeli bombardment in Gaza's far-southern Rafah region, which resulted in the deaths of 45 individuals, according to Palestinian officials. This attack, which Gaza medics report left hundreds of civilians with shrapnel and burn wounds, has drawn significant international criticism.
In response to the international outcry, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu referred to the strike as a "tragic accident" but reaffirmed that he will continue the military campaign against Hamas, following the group's October 7 attack and the hostage crisis.
Australian cricketer Travis Head who is riding high after a successful IPL stint with Sunrisers Hyderabad which played the final of the tournament and lost to KKR in the mega event, posted in support of Rafah on his X (formerly known as Twitter) handle.
Head shared an “All eyes of Rafah” post and in another post wrote “Freedom is a human right. All lives are equal!” with an image of the same lines written on his shoes.
After a successful IPL where he amassed 567 runs in 15 outings, Head is set to represent Australia in the T20I World Cup set to begin next week in USA and West Indies.
Freedom is a human right.

Mumbai, Dec 26: Youtuber Ranveer Allahbadia has said he and his girlfriend were swept away by an underwater current on Christmas evening in Goa but were rescued by another couple.
Allahbadia, who goes by the name of BeerBiceps on social media, shared his story on Instagram on Wednesday evening.
He thanked an IPS officer and his IRS wife for saving their lives.
"We're perfectly fine & well now. But yesterday at 6:00 pm or so, my girlfriend and I had to be rescued from a bit of a situation. We both love swimming in the open ocean. I've been doing this since I was a kid. But yesterday we got swept away by an underwater current," the YouTuber said.
"This has happened to me before but I've never been alongside a companion. It's easy to swim out of one alone. It's very hard to pull someone out with you. After a 5-10 minute struggle, we called for help and were promptly rescued by a family of five swimming nearby," he added.
Allahbadia said the experience has left both of them feeling "blank as well as grateful". "We felt the protection of God throughout the incident,” he added.
