During the Hamas attack, the two were seriously injured, and hospitalized at the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center and their respective right legs were amputated.

Nine months after the October 7 attack, Ben Binyamin and Gali Segal stood on Thursday under the canopy. The couple went to the Nova festival to celebrate their engagement and the former's birthday. 

During the Hamas attack, the two were seriously wounded and hospitalized at the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center, after being released, where their right legs were amputated.

The two were transferred to the rehabilitation department at Sheba Medical Center

The staff, who cared for them throughout the hospitalization, along with employees from other hospital departments, and members of the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center management, were moved to tears at the arrival of this long-awaited wedding.
