TV actor Madhura Naik’s sister and brother-in-law 'murdered in cold blood' in Israel by Hamas

Actor Madhura Naik, who is best known for her role in the TV series ‘Naagin’, took to Instagram to share that her cousin Odaya and her husband were killed by a Hamas terrorist amid the ongoing war in Israel.

Naik, who is a Jew, claimed that they were killed in front of their children on October 7.

‘I, Madhura Naik, am a Jew of Indian origin. We are now only 3,000 in strength here in India. Day before, on October 7, we lost a daughter and a son from our family. My cousin Odaya was murdered in cold blood, along with her husband, in the presence of their two children. The grief and emotions that I and my family face today cannot be spoken in words. As of today, Israel is in pain. Her children, her women and her streets are burning in flames in the wrath of Hamas. The women, children, the old and the weak are being targeted,’ she said.

‘Yesterday, I posted a picture of my sister and her family for the world to see our pain and I was shocked to see how deep pro-Palestinian Arab propaganda runs. I was shamed, humiliated and targeted for being Jewish. Today I want to voice my feelings and tell my followers, friends and people, who I love, and people who have supported me and shown me nothing but love and appreciation for all these years and for all the work that I have done. And also to the people, who do not know me, this pro-Palestinian Arab propaganda that Israel is a cold-blooded killer is not true. Self-defence is not terrorism. I just want to be very clear that I do not support violence of any kind or suppression from either sides,’ she continued.

On October 7, the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel. The conflict so far has claimed more than 1,600 lives on both sides.

Hamas fired rockets into Israel and its fighters sneaked across the border, abducting and killing Israeli civilians. Israel declared war by launching airstrikes on Gaza and has stopped its food and other supplies.
