The presence of Javi Martínez could be interpreted in a different way, but it surely generates many comments because Israel’s war against Palestine leaves no one indifferent. While some praise his commitment to humanitarian causes, others could question whether an active footballer should get involved in political affairs in this way, especially considering the sensitivity of the situation in the Middle East.
The war, meanwhile, continues. The Israeli Army attacked two hospitals in the Gaza Strip this Sunday and took control of the center of Khan Younis, the main city in the south of the enclave and a stronghold of Hamas leaders, while allowing humanitarian aid to enter across its border. with Gaza for the first time since the war began.
“The Israeli occupation forces attacked the Tahrir building in the Medical Complex with an artillery projectile that passed through the wall but did not explode,” denounced the Ministry of Health of Gaza, controlled by the Islamist group Hamas.
This attack led to the death of Dina Abu Mohsen, a 13-year-old girl who was recovering from the amputation of her legs after an Israeli attack in Khan Yunis, the ministry added, publishing a photo of the girl.
In addition, three other people were injured and the blood of several patients was scattered on the walls, but the projectile “would have caused a horrible massacre if it had exploded inside the building,” Health estimated.
