Israel's Eurovision contestant says "nothing will deter" her after getting booed during a dress rehearsal on Wednesday.

Eden Golan was performing her song Hurricane ahead of Thursday's semi-final in Malmo, Sweden.

In a statement, she said she was "proud to represent my country".

There have been several campaigns to block Israel from taking part in this year's contest following the outbreak of war in the Middle East.

But the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which hosts the event, has ruled Israel is allowed to compete.

After Wednesday's dress rehearsal, several videos surfaced on social media from audience members who had recorded Golan being booed by some members of the crowd.
