The bride and groom's heartwarming video was shared on X and soon went viral. In the video, the couple could be seen swaying and dancing to some tunes in a dimly lit and cramped shelter while some of the guests filmed them.

The newlyweds wore their wedding attire as they walked along to the sounds of music playing on the cell phones of one of their guests.

As the groom slowly turned the bride, she lifted her long, white lace dress.

The heartwarming video clip was filmed in a bunker near one of Jerusalem's largest hotels, the Notre Dam Hotel, according to Bible scholar and author Saul Sadka, who shared the video on X.

“Iran could not stop the joy of this wedding in Jerusalem for a moment,” Sadka wrote, sharing a heart emoji.

The couple had sought refuge along with thousands of other Israelis on Tuesday evening (October 1) when Iraq fired 181 rockets at Tehran, causing a shower of shrapnel and warheads over Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other major cities.
