An American couple have arrived in Israel to build a new life together – at the combined age of 188.

Phillip and Dorothy Grossman, who have been married for 71 years, are thought to be the oldest husband and wife to make aliyah.

The Grossmans, from Maryland, arrived in Israel on Tuesday and have now moved in to their new house in Jerusalem.

"They are proof that it is never too late to fulfill your dream and make such a significant decision in life," said Erez Halfon, vice - chairman of Jewish immigration group Nefesh B'Nefesh.
