यह तस्वीर इजराइल में उस रात चल रहे संगीत समारोह में भाग लेने वाले एक प्रेमी युगल अमित और नीर द्वारा ली गई थी, जब वे हमास के आतंकवादियों से बचने के लिए झाड़ियों में छिपे हुए थे…

Did the Couple Actually die after sharing the pic on social media? : Fact
The couple is still alive and is said to have escaped the terrorist attack on the music festival. The entire story has been shared by them on Instagram. The allegations regarding their demise are false and incorrect.
Amit Bar (“amit_bar_“) shared the picture on Instagram on Oct 9, 2023. After the incident, the story of that day was fully shared in the caption. Amit wrote it is nearly impossible to summarise what they went through there. It was a miracle that they returned home. He added that it was frightening to see the rockets which had a chance to fall on him. When Everyone wanted to leave, they attempted to drive by car until everything was blocked. They laid down to protect themselves and people began running around screaming that there were terrorists. The situation was terrific.
Here is the snapshot of the caption of the entire incident wrote by Amit Bar:
