On Monday, Naik posted a video mourning the loss of her family and several other Israelis, saying: "The grief and the emotion that I and my family faced today can't be spoken in words. As of today, Israel is in pain. Its children, Its women, Its streets are burning in the flames in the wrath of Hamas."
The actress took a strong stance on the incident, saying she does not support violence or oppression from either side.
"I have friends who are both Arab and Jewish, but in times like these, innocent lives are always at risk," she said.

"We Jews have as much right to live in peace and harmony as they do. But after seeing all the terror, the wrath of Hamas, the people dying, being kidnapped, the children being taken, and after mourning the death of my own blood, my family and friends, I stand with Israel, with the IDF (Israel Defence Force) and all the government authorities who must choose to act within their own rights to protect our civilians," Naik added.
