Mia Khalifa is expressing anger and heartbreak as Israel launches a major bombardment of her native country of Lebanon, killing hundreds of civilians including dozens of children since Monday.

Mia Khalifa is a Lebanese-American former adult film actress turned activist and social media influencer.

"My heart is breaking for Lebanon and for humanity," she wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday as news hit of Israel's new massacres.

Further commenting on Israel's actions, she wrote in a separate post: "THEIR GOAL IS RE-OCCUPATION OF LEBANON THEIR GOAL IS ETHNIC CLEANSING THEIR GOAL IS SETTLER COLONIALISM They’re not just bombing the south they’re bombing the Beqaa valley and Baalbek and countless civilian streets in between. Where are they supposed to evacuate to?"

Israel launched devastating airstrikes on Lebanon on Monday, killing at least 558 people. 

Lebanon's south has been under constant attack from Israel since 8 October, after Hezbollah began firing at Israel's northern regions in support of Palestine and to pressure Tel Aviv to end its gruesome, genocidal war on Gaza. 

Khalifa, who garners millions of followers on her social media platforms, has gained attention in recent years after she waded into politics and social issues. 

She has also been expressing strong views in support of the Palestinian people during Israel's war on Gaza, earning her the ire of supporters of the Jewish state and its genocidal actions in the occupied Palestinian territories.

In October, US adult entertainment enterprise Playboy announced it had cut ties with Mia Khalifa for statements she made after Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel.
