Chilling and shocking footage has emerged of Israeli festivalgoers desperately seeking shelter from a hail of bullets unleashed by Hamas gunmen. This terrifying massacre resulted in the deaths of approximately 260 innocent civilians. Survivors of the attack took to social media to share videos of the horrifying ordeal, showing how they were forced to hide under bushes while recording final messages to their loved ones. Hearts raced with sheer terror for over five hours until the sound of armed rescuers speaking Hebrew broke the silence.
The Supernova Festival, held near Kibbutz Re’im close to the Gaza Strip, became a target of the surprise assault launched by the Palestinian militant group on Saturday. The festival started off with “good vibes” and music, but at around 6:30 am, a siren blared, warning of rockets. Although festivalgoers were aware of the risk of rocket attacks, they did not expect armed gunmen to storm the event, cutting off power and firing bullets indiscriminately into the crowd.
Disturbing footage captures innocent civilians screaming in terror as shots ring out while police try to assist in the evacuation. People can be heard shouting, “go, go, go!” as they fled hand-in-hand, with trucks following behind, relentlessly firing bullets. The Israeli rescue service Zaka confirmed the horrific event, stating that they have recovered at least 260 bodies. Makeshift tents were filled with the bodies of young festivalgoers as emergency workers struggled to identify the remains.
In the aftermath, distressing dashcam footage revealed gunmen executing civilians on the ground before rifling through their belongings. Survivors who posted videos of the attack on social media recounted how they had to hide under bushes to escape the Hamas gunmen. Some remained concealed in the undergrowth for up to five hours until Israeli army units finally arrived. The Israeli government’s official Twitter page shared a pixelated image showing scores of victims in body bags beneath a tent at the festival site.
Further footage from the aftermath shows empty festival tents and abandoned cars strewn along the road, evidence of the chaotic escape attempts. Frantic victims ran across the sand to reach their cars, only to face gunfire from attackers driving jeeps and methodically searching for targets. Distraught relatives anxiously searched for their loved ones and were asked to bring personal items such as combs and toothbrushes to help with identification.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) reported that over 700 Israelis have been killed and another 1,200 wounded in the large-scale attack carried out by Hamas over the weekend. In response, the Israeli army launched retaliatory strikes, targeting more than 500 Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist locations in the Gaza Strip. Thick plumes of smoke billowed from the besieged Palestinian enclave.
The death toll in this new war has already surpassed 1,100. The rubble of destroyed structures and damages caused by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza City bear witness to the devastation. One exemplary Israeli father, Mark Peretz, risked everything to rescue his missing daughter, Maya. Unfortunately, both remain unaccounted for.
Peleg Orev, a bartender working at the festival, shared the atrocities he witnessed. He described how the attackers sought to kill as many innocent people as possible. The brutal attack resulted in the deaths of approximately 260 individuals, with many festivalgoers still missing, including women, children, and the elderly who may have been abducted by Hamas.
One heroic father, Mark Peretz, raced to the scene as the horror unfolded, hoping to save his 20-year-old daughter Maya. He had been in communication with his family when the call abruptly ended with gunshots. Mark’s son and his friends, all former military personnel, searched for him but only found his abandoned car. Meanwhile, Noa Argamani, a student, desperately pleaded for her life as she sat on the back of a terrorist’s motorcycle, her arms outstretched towards her boyfriend, Avi, who was helpless nearby.
Emergency worker Yaniv, who rushed to the scene, witnessed the horrific aftermath. He estimated that he saw at least 200 bodies of Israelis in the area, describing it as a planned ambush. He mentioned that squads of terrorists awaited people at emergency exits, targeting them as they tried to escape.
Gili Yoskovich was among those who sought refuge under a fruit tree in a field, trembling for three hours as bullets flew by. She was eventually rescued by Israeli soldiers speaking Hebrew. Gili vividly recounted the scene of young people dying all around her as Hamas gunmen unleashed their killing spree. Despite the terrifying circumstances, she remained composed, silently reminding herself to breathe and prepare for the worst.
This tragic event highlights the immense suffering and tragedy that this conflict has caused. It serves as a painful reminder of the continuous violence and loss of innocent lives.
