Newly-weds Jeanne Swerlin, 96, (R) and US WWII veteran Harold Terens, 100, (L) pose for photographs in front of a piper band as they celebrate their marriage during a wedding at the town hall of Carentan-les-Marais, in Normandy, northwestern France, on June 8, 2024, just days after being honoured on the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings that took place a few kilometres away. The D-Day ceremonies on June 6 this year marked the 80th anniversary since the launch of 'Operation Overlord', a vast military operation by Allied forces in Normandy, which turned the tide of World War II, eventually leading to the liberation of occupied France and the end of the war against Nazi Germany.

This handout picture released by the Israeli Army on June 8, 2024, shows Almog Meir Jan, 22-years-old, being greeted by his close relatives at the Sheba Tel-HaShomer Medical Centre, after his rescue from the Gaza Strip by the Israeli army, in Ramat Gan near Tel Aviv on June 8, 2024, amid the ongoing conflict in the Palestinian territory between Israel and the militant group Hamas. Israel said its forces rescued four hostages alive from a Gaza refugee camp on June 8, after an operation that militant group Hamas said left dozens of Palestinians dead and wounded. The four had been kidnapped by Hamas from the Nova music festival during the Islamists' October 7 attacks that sparked war with Israel, the army said. Noa Argamani, 26, Almog Meir Jan, 22, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 41, had been rescued from two separate buildings "in the heart of Nuseirat" in a "complex daytime operation", the military said, adding they were in "good medical condition".
