This act of solidarity comes in the wake of a devastating Hamas attack on \u200dsouthern Israel from the Gaza Strip, which claimed the\u2062 lives \u2063of over\u200b 1,200 Israelis and\u200d 22 Americans,\u200d as reported \u200dby CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>For Tuesday&#8217;s game against the Minnesota Twins, Bregman, who\u2063 is Jewish, \u200dboldly drew a small Star\u200b of\u2064 David on his hat.
