git diff between 2 commits show me I deleted and added the same content

* d556e92 // added 789 in new line inside file1.txt (HEAD -> master)
* 79fe73c // added 456 in new line inside file1.txt
* 574a673 // added 123 to file1.txt
* c50371c // created file1.txt with no content

file1.txt inmaster` branch:

123
456
789

When I run git diff 574a673..79fe73c I expect to see only: +456. But the output is different: 

$ git diff 574a673..79fe73c
diff --git a/file1.txt b/file1.txt
index d800886..156626c 100644
--- a/file1.txt
+++ b/file1.txt
@@ -1 +1,2 @@
-123
\ No newline at end of file
+123
+456
\ No newline at end of file

My question:

Does git tell me that I removed "123" and added "123" in the same commit: 79fe73c?

You removed

123

and replaced it with

123\n

New line starts after line termination symbol, so adding new line actually modifies the one before, because \n is appended to it.
