In this video update on the Israel-Hamas conflict, our correspondent reports from Israel’s North, where ongoing missile attacks from Lebanon can be heard in the background. The explosions are part of the daily routine for those living through the 18th day of this intense conflict. The Iron Dome anti-rocket defense system is working tirelessly to intercept most of the incoming missiles.

Despite the challenging circumstances, a remarkable story unfolds as one Israeli soldier decides to get married on the base. The wedding, organized by fellow soldiers with a military rabbi, becomes a symbol of resilience and hope.

Despite the interruption, their commitment and joy in the face of adversity serve as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit during these challenging times.
