Israel-Palestine war: Israeli couple travelling in Thailand return to fight Hamas, get married before leaving for battle

Uri Mintzer and Elinor Yosefin, were among the thousands of Israeli military reservists called up for duty, after Hamas launched a surprise attack on Saturday. The duo, who were travelling in Thailand, when Israel witnessed the unprecedented storm, decided to hold an impromptu wedding ceremony on Sunday night before reporting to their respective units.

The wedding, organised at the last minute, was reportedly held in the presence of the couple’s parents and a small group of well-wishers in Shoham, in Central Israel. “I’ve thought about this moment thousands of times, but I never imagined it like this,” news agency ANI quoted Mintzer as saying.

Mintzer further added, “I fully hope that we’ll be able to soon have a full wedding like we want. I’ve been blessed to fall in love with my best friend, and she is my past, present and future.”
