SOUTHERN ISRAEL - OCTOBER 17: Adir and Tamar, both currently in reserve duty, get married during a surprise wedding ceremony on an IDF base on October 17, 2023 in Southern Israel. Adir and Tamir were supposed to get married today, before Hamas militants attacked on October 17th and this war began. The two been dating seven years ago around when they met during their military service on this exact base. As Israel prepares to invade the Gaza Strip in its campaign to vanquish Hamas, the Palestinian militant group Hamas who launched a deadly attack in southern Israel on October 7th, worries are growing of a wider war with multiple fronts, including at the country's northern border with Lebanon. Countries have scrambled to evacuate their citizens from Israel, and Israel has begun relocating some communities on its northern border. (Photo by Alexi J. Rosenfeld/Getty Images)
