Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika Sajdeh deletes the ‘All Eyes On Rafah’ Instagram story after massive backlash

Ritika Sajdeh, wife of cricketer Rohit Sharma, deleted her 'All Eyes on Rafah' Instagram Story after she received massive backlash on social media. This came after she shared a particular phrase to show their solidarity with Palestine after an Israeli shelling and airstrikes on Sunday in the southern Gaza city of Rafah killed over 45 people.
Her post about solidarity with Palestine went viral on social media giant X. While some accused her of not speaking on Indian issues, others joked that she was unaware of Rafah's location. The story has since been deleted.






Apart from Ritika Sajdeh, several A-list Bollywood celebrities have also shown their support for the people of Palestine. Some names include Kareena Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Triptii Dimri, Samantha Prabhu, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Swara Bhasker, and Dia Mirza.

All eyes on Rafah

Hours after Hamas launched rockets at the Tel Aviv area, Israel launched the attack on Rafah. The airstrike hit a tent camp in the city for displaced people, killing 45 people and injuring over 200. The Israeli military said that the attack in the southern Rafah area killed two Hamas operatives.

Many, including Iran, have condemned the attack by sharing the phrase “All Eyes on Rafah”. The official X handle of Iran’s Embassy in New Delhi also posted, “‘All eyes on Rafah” is a phrase that refers to the ongoing genocide in Rafah, Gaza, with over 1.4 million Palestinians seeking shelter.”
