ALBAWABA An Israeli couple's decision to pose with weapons during their groom photo shoot has ignited controversy, especially amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza. The image, shared by users on social media platforms, has stirred debate and garnered significant attention in light of the heightened tensions in the region.


The image captured the couple, dressed in wedding attire, holding firearms as part of their photo session. 

The photo of the couple holding weapons has elicited strong reactions from various quarters. Some individuals view it as a patriotic display of solidarity with the Israeli military during a time of war, while others perceive it as insensitive or provocative, given the human suffering and devastation occurring in Gaza.

The Hamas military group launched a major offensive on October 7th, named "Al-Aqsa Flood," targeting Israel. Palestinian fighters crossed into Israel from the Gaza Strip, seizing military installations and taking hostages.

Photos and videos circulated widely online, depicting Hamas fighters inside Israel and using unconventional means like paragliding.

In response, Israeli forces targeted Hamas positions within Gaza, resulting in a significant loss of life and injuries. According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, the death toll surpassed 29,100 people, with over 68,883 injuries, highlighting the devastating impact of the conflict.
