Tottenham forward Manor Solomon is reportedly stuck in Israel after flying home for his wedding, amid the escalating conflict with Iran.
Solomon, who spent last season on loan with Leeds United, tied the knot with his girlfriend of seven years Dana Voshina last week.
The couple shared a series of photos and videos from their wedding day on social media.
Solomon and Voshina had been joined by friends and family at the Kahi Events Resort in Israel, where the newlyweds had thrown a extravagant party.
According to the Sun, Solomon and his new wife are now stranded in Israel with flights having been blocked out of the country.
Israel’s airspace remains closed to all civilian flights after two nights of bombardment by deadly Iranian missiles and drones.
Officials have admitted an evacuation from Israel is currently impossible amid the conflict.
The UK Foreign Office on Sunday issued an urgent warning against all travel to Israel following the bombardments from Iran.
The Foreign Office warned anyone looking to flee the country that Israeli airspace ‘remains closed’ and that the conflict with Iran ‘may disrupt road links’.
Israel has been the subject of heightened travel advice since the October 7 terror attacks by Hamas.
The Foreign Office has advised against non-essential travel to most parts of the country for much of the intervening period.
This was upgraded to advise against all travel to parts of the country on Saturday, with the red alert extended to cover the whole country on Sunday.
Solomon and Voshina had previously been evacuated from Ukraine in 2022, when the winger played for Shakhtar Donetsk.
The Israel international then joined Fulham on a loan deal, before signing for Tottenham on a permanent basis in 2023.
Solomon spent last season on loan at Leeds and scored the goal which secured the club the Championship title.
The conflict has also seen Iranian forward Mehdi Taremi be stranded in Tehran.
He had flown back to his homeland to accept Iran's Footballer of the Year award, with the intention of then joining up with his team-mates in the United States for the Club World Cup.
A top Iranian official claimed on Monday that Pakistan has threatened to drop a nuclear warhead on Israel if Benjamin Netanyahu uses nuclear weapons against Iran.
General Mohsen Rezaee, a senior officer in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and a member of Iran's National Security Council, said in an interview: 'Pakistan has assured us that if Israel uses a nuclear bomb on Iran, they will attack Israel with a nuclear bomb.'
Pakistan and Israel are two of the nine countries that currently possess nuclear weapons, according to experts.
Rezaee claimed that Pakistan has vowed to 'stand behind Iran', and called on the Islamic world to unite against Israel.
Today, Pakistan's defence minister Khwaja Asif denied Rezaee's claims, reportedly saying: 'Pakistan is signatory to all international nuclear disciplines; our nuclear capability is for our people's benefit and defence against hostile designs.'
Last night, he noted that the world appears to be teetering on the edge of conflict as a result of the escalating attacks in the Middle East.
'[The] Western world must worry about conflicts generated by Israel.
'It will engulf the whole region and beyond; their patronage of Israel, a rogue state, can have catastrophic consequences.'
On Monday, a spokesperson for Israel's military said that Israel has 'achieved full aerial control above Tehran'.
Israeli media have reported that 24 people have been killed by Iranian attacks since Friday, while Iran has said 224 people have died following Israeli attacks.
