Tunisian pan-Arab singer Saber Rebai took part in a fundraising campaign raised by a Tunisian radio program for the benefit of the Palestinian people.
In a phone-in with the "Dima" FM radio station, the musician stated that he had donated 50,000 Tunisian dinars (TND) for the benefit of the Palestinians, in light of the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza.
On October 7, Hamas initiated Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, a multi-pronged surprise attack that included a barrage of rocket launches and infiltrations into Israel by land, sea, and air.
It said the incursion was in retaliation for the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and growing violence by Israeli settlers. The Israeli military then launched Operation Swords of Iron against Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.
At least 5,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza, while the figure stands at more than 1,400 people in Israel.
Amid worldwide condemnation, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for an “immediate humanitarian cease-fire” to ease the “epic human suffering.”
