Israeli Ambassador to Italy Alon Bar
on Saturday thanked President Sergio Mattarella for his "clear
and explicit message of support for Israel" following the
surprise massive rocket attack by Hamas from Gaza starting early
Saturday morning in which medical sources now say over 100
Israelis have been killed and around 900 injured.
"We are very grateful for the thousands of messages of support
we are receiving from politicians, officials, partners, friends
and also from other Italians who follow the news and do not
remain indifferent. Thank you all," wrote Bar on X.
Bar said he had also spoken to centre-left opposition democratic
Party (PD) leader Elly Schlein, who "expressed solidarity with
Israel and condemned the terrorist attack by Hamas".
