The 'All Eyes On Rafah' video went viral and was shared on Instagram by around 45 million users, sparking the response hours later. The image alludes to the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who fled there during Israel's military assault against Hamas, showing unending rows of tents packed closely together across a desert landscape shaded by mountains.
Following the global success of the 'All Eyes on Rafah' campaign, which garnered support from athletes, celebrities, and millions of social media users, Israel has tried to change the story by posing the provocative question 'Where were your eyes on October 7?' alongside a Hamas fighter standing in front of a baby that has blood on the ground.

According to a NEWS channel, this follows a string of lethal Israeli Defence Force (IDF) raids and attacks in IDF-designated safe zones that resulted in the horrific deaths of at least 45 people, including children. International indignation at the episode has increased Israel's isolation on the world stage as a result of the Gaza War.
In response, Israel released a picture of its own and questioned why individuals had not posted about the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas. In Israel, the October 7 incident claimed the lives of over 1,160 individuals, the majority of whom were civilians. About 250 hostages were taken by the combatants; following a week-long truce in November, many of them were freed. Israel estimates that of the captives held by fighters, 31 have passed away and 99 are still alive.
The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza reports that at least 31,112 Palestinians have died as a result of Israel's military campaign of retaliation to eliminate Hamas.
Amidst extensive censure, Israel further refuted any intention to target the Rafah camp, claiming that the harm was inadvertently inflicted by a secondary fire resulting from a missile striking a Hamas weapons plant.
The administration of Benjamin Netanyahu posted a photo along with the caption, 'Where were your eyes on October 7?' on X, a platform that was originally Twitter. A Hamas militant is shown in the picture standing in front of a child.
