As Israel and Iran trade devastating missile strikes for a fourth straight day, personal milestones have become casualties of war. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has postponed the wedding of his youngest son, Avner Netanyahu, amid escalating public outrage and rising security threats.

The wedding, once set to take place at the luxurious Ronit's Farm near Tel Aviv, was abruptly cancelled as missiles slammed into Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Petah Tikva, killing at least 14 in Israel and injuring dozens. In Iran, over 400 are reported dead following Israel’s Operation Rising Lion, which targeted Tehran’s military and nuclear infrastructure.

00:00Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has postponed the wedding of his youngest son Avnir
00:10Netanyahu, as the escalating conflict with Iran is deepening day by day. The highly anticipated
00:18ceremony was set to take place at Ronit's Palm, a luxury venue nestled in Kibbutz Yaakum,
00:25just north of Tel Aviv. But instead of wedding bells, the air around Tel Aviv now rings with
00:33sirens. Air raid sirens. The decision to postpone came amid growing public outrage. Anti-government
00:41protest groups had already condemned the Netanyahu family for planning a lavish celebration and a
00:48ceremony while dozens of Israeli hostages remained trapped in Gaza. Social media
00:55exploded with accusations of insensitivity, many calling it a slap in the face of grieving
01:02families and soldiers on the front lines. And this wasn't just a PR issue. It was a full-blown
01:10security threat. Police had reinforced the entire area around the venue with iron road blocks,
01:19barbed wire, and a no-fly zone extending nearly two kilometres. Authorities feared not just protests,
01:27but attacks. This all comes as Israel ramps up military operations under Operation Rising Lion,
01:35a bold and controversial strike deep inside Iran, targeting what Israeli intelligence claimed were
01:43key nuclear and military facilities in Tehran. The Iranian response? Immediate. Ruthless.
01:52A barrage of ballistic missiles launched at Israeli cities, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Petatekwa,
01:59all under fire. Civilian homes were destroyed. Fires lit up the night sky. Air raid sirens blared across the
02:09country, forcing millions into underground shelters. With all it's staggering. According to the Associated
02:17Press, Israeli air strikes have killed over 400 people in Iran. In Israel, at least 14 civilians are
02:25dead, many more injured, traumatized, displaced. And now, amid the ashes of war, even personal milestones
02:33like weddings, are no longer private. Avni Netanyahu and his fiancée Amit Yardeni had hoped to start a new
02:43chapter. But instead, their story has been put on hold. Another casualty of a war spiralling far beyond
02:52borders or politics. As rockets fall, families mourn, and leaders strategize, the people of both nations are
03:01left asking. When will this cycle of retaliation end? And at what cost must peace be paid?
03:10This is not just a conflict of nations. It's a war that now echoes in wedding halls that fall silent
03:18and futures put on pause.
