The couple, who were planning to marry in April, were in their missile-proof bedroom when militants infiltrated their home, leading to Netta's act of self-preservation, a technique learned in the army.
Shavit survived by hiding amidst the chaos and fire, later being rescued by Israeli troops, but now grapples with immense grief, guilt, and the profound dilemma of rebuilding her life after losing her beloved fiancé.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
