Speaking to news agency ANI, Shimon candidly discussed Hamas's brutality and said that she was prepared to fight them. "I will do everything in my power to have Israel win."

Breaking down in tears, Shimon said, "We're in the midst of a war. It's going to result in more suffering for many lives, but we will prevail. We are preparing, and our first priority is to bring our hostages home."

The Israeli military confirmed last week that around 126 people were held hostage by Hamas. Rona, who essayed the character of Nurit, a member of Israel's counter-terrorism unit, said in the interview that her country is doing everything possible to bring back the hostages.

Calling Hamas's attack the most horrific atrocities to ever happen in Israel's history, she added, "I think first of all me and everyone I know in Israel, every civilian, every citizen of Israel is now supporting the cause of first of all, bringing the hostages back. We are doing everything in our power to bring them back. What happened eight days ago is one of the most horrific atrocities ever in the history of my people."

The 40-year-old actor went on to add, "This is worrisome on so many levels, but what we're doing right now is what is the most important thing that you can do and what we must do right now is bring the hostages back."

"We are supporting the army. We're taking care of our army. We are in the middle of war. It's going to be even more bad for a lot, a lot of human lives, but we are going to prevail. We are getting ready and first thing that we're doing is bringing our hostages back," she added.

She called on the international community to help Israel return its civilians who are being held hostage by Hamas. She also thanked India for showing support for Israel during these distressing times.

She said, "Honestly. I feel grateful to have an ally, a beautiful ally like India. India is one of my favourite places on Earth. I love its people. I can really understand why the first thing that you guys did was to condemn the horrible action of October 7th in Israel."

"I would expect nothing less, but I want to say with utmost gratefulness in my heart. I think it's the best thing that you guys can do for us is condemn this horrible terror and stand by your side," she added.

Another Fuada actor, Lior Raz, has joined 'Brothers in Arms,' a volunteer group to help the nation combat Hamas.
