Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on October 7. Following thousands of Rocket strikes all over the country, Hamas sent several fighters to Israel via land, air, and sea. Hundreds of lives have been lost since the first attack, and many others have been kidnapped by Hamas fighters. 4-time NBA Champion LeBron James broke his silence on the ongoing tragedy and appealed to the world to put an end to the violent act.

“The devastation in Israel is tragic and unacceptable. The murder and violence against innocent people by Hamas is terrorism. The SpringHill Company family sends our deepest condolences to Israel and the Jewish community. We pray for peace in the region and reiterate our continued commitment to fight hate in all its forms. We all must work to ensure this tragedy does not spread even more hate, racism, and antisemitism.” LeBron posted on Instagram. The SpringHill Company is a production company founded by LeBron James and Maverick Carter. Several other athletes, including Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather, have also spoken out about the horrific event.
