After most of the population in southern and central Israel spent Tuesday night running to and from shelters due to massive rocket salvos fired from the Gaza Strip, model Bar Refaeli took to Instagram to highlight the reality her compatriots were experiencing.

Using the hashtag #IsraelUnderAttack, Refaeli posted a story recording the "1,000+ rockets" that had been fired from Gaza into Israel at the time of her post. By Wednesday that number had reached 1,100 rockets, with five Israeli casualties and dozens wounded.
She also posted a photograph of fathers at a hospital, holding their newborn babies in a fortified corridor during one of the attacks.
Refaeli wasn't the only Israeli celebrity who opted to use social media to share the reality of life under rocket fire.
Actress and writer Noa Tishby wrote on Instagram: "Terrorist organization Hamas is flaming the fire in Jerusalem … Hamas is using this conflict to gain political points at the expense of Palestinian lives."
