Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather jetted to Israel this week to show his support for the country amid the ongoing war with Hamas.

Mayweather, widely considered one of the greatest fighters of all time, sent a private jet filled with supplies to Israel back in October in the wake of Hamas' terrorist attacks.

Over the past six months, there have been more than 31,000 recorded casualties as the conflict continues in and around the Gaza strip.

Five months after he sent food, water, clothes and bulletproof vests to the Middle East, Mayweather made the trip to Israel himself this week to lift the spirits of civilians, workers and soldiers.

The 47-year-old touched down in Tel Aviv to show his support for the Israeli cause, while even stopping by at an IDF (Israel Defense Forces) military base.
