Viral News: As the conflict in West Asia continues to rise, so do the sounds of missile attacks and air-raid sirens. During this time, Israel has come up with a 'bomb shelter dating app'. The concept of the application is to connect people when they wait inside the bunkers during the time of emergency alerts. The idea of the application was shared by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs on social media. The internet was quick enough to make it viral. What's somewhat obvious about the concept is that it has received widespread backlash on social media from people. You can check the viral post here.

Dating app for people inside bomb shelters

The Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs on social media shared the concept, which allows singles who are taking shelter during the missile alerts to connect with other persons in the same bunker. It works with the help of a QR code, which is placed at the entrance of bomb shelters. The catch is that when people enter the shelters during the times of air-raid sirens and sounds, they have the opportunity to scan the QR code to check who is single inside the shelter. This can be done with the speed-dating app Hooked.

What's the concept?

The ministry shared the concept with a caption that read, "Only in Israel..."

The third comment read, "Hilarious! I had a great uncle who met his wife in the London underground during an attack by the Germans in WW2."
