French football player Paul Pogba has voiced his solidarity with people of Gaza after the recent bombardment of the Palestinian enclave by Israelis over rocket attacks.
The Juventus star took to his Instagram account and shared a collage of photos of children who lost their lives during Israel's latest attacks on Gaza.
The soccer midfielder captioned it, "May Allah protect the people of Gaza."
As soon as he posted the image on his Insta stories, it went viral with people sharing the screenshot of the post.
A Twitter user wrote, “French Muslim footballer, Juventus player Paul Pogba supports the Palestinian cause once again by publishing pictures of children who rose during the #occupation aggression on #Gaza, commenting on the phrase "God save the people of Gaza."”
Another one said, "French Muslim player for Juventus Paul Pogba reinstates his support for Palestinian people by posting pictures of Gaza children who were murdered during 2022 aggression, commenting 'may God save the people of Gaza.'"
Israeli warplanes launched airstrikes in the Gaza Strip last week, citing what the military called an "imminent threat of attack" by the political wing Islamic Jihad group.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, at least 45 Palestinians, including a 5-year-old girl, were killed in the airstrikes, while 360 others were wounded.
