Celebrities, athletes, and millions of other social media users worldwide have been circulating the hashtag 'All Eyes On Rafah' to draw attention to Israel's airstrikes in Rafah, a southern city in war-torn Gaza. At least 45 civilians, including children, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a refugee camp in Rafah aimed at destroying Hamas. This incident has sparked international outrage, further isolating Israel on the global stage due to the conflict in Gaza.

In response, Israel has shared its own image, questioning why people did not post about the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7. The attack on October 7 resulted in the deaths of approximately 1,160 people in Israel, mostly civilians. Militants also captured about 250 hostages, with dozens being released during a week-long truce in November. Israel believes that 99 hostages remain alive in the hands of militants, while 31 have died.

Israel's retaliatory military campaign to eradicate Hamas has claimed the lives of at least 31,112 people, according to the health ministry in Hamas-controlled Gaza. Amid widespread condemnation, Israel denied targeting the Rafah camp and attributed the damage to secondary fires caused by a rocket striking a Hamas weapons facility.
