New Delhi: Actor Kangana Ranaut Wednesday met Israel's Ambassador to India, Naor Gilon, and expressed hope of Israel emerging victorious in the "war against terrorism".
Taking to Instagram, Kangana Ranaut posted a series of pictures of herself and the Israeli envoy.
Sharing the pictures, she wrote, "Had a soulful meeting with Israel's ambassador to Bharat Shri Naor Gilon ji. Today the whole world, especially Israel and India are fighting their war against terrorism. Yesterday when I reached Delhi to burn Ravana, I felt the Israel Embassy should come and meet those who are defeating terrorists like today's modern Ravana Hamas."
"The way young children and women are being targeted is heart-wrenching. I have full hope Israel will win this war against terrorism. I discussed with them about my upcoming film Tejas and India's self-reliant fighter jet Tejas.#tejas @israelinindia," she said.
My heart goes out to Israel.

At least 1,400 Israelis have died in the ongoing war with Hamas since the latter's surprise attack on October 7. Hamas launched a sudden ground, air, and sea offensive against Israel, with over 2,500 fighters crossing the border and causing destruction in southern towns. This resulted in the deaths of more than 1,400 people, primarily civilians, and the taking of over 220 hostages.
More than 5,000 people have been killed in Gaza since October 7, Palestinian health officials as said.
Meanwhile, on the occasion of Dussehra, Kangana Ranaut Tuesday attended Delhi's largest Ramlila, organised annually at the historic Red Fort grounds where she was given the honour to perform the 'Ravan Dahan'.
Apart from Kangana, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena were also present for the festivities, which the Lav Kush Ramlila Committee arranged.
On the work front, Kangana is gearing up for the release of her upcoming action film 'Tejas' which revolves around the journey of Tejas Gill, an Air Force pilot.
