Survivors of a music festival in Re’im, Israel, described scenes of chaos and fear as Hamas gunmen attacked just after dawn on Saturday.
One young Israeli man who survived the massacre at the celebration of “friends, love and peace”, 30-year-old Sahar Ben Sela, cried for his friends as he described the harrowing scene when Hamas militants stormed the festival with automatic guns, grenades, RPGs and other weapons.
Saturday’s attack was part of an unprecedented attack on Israel, the deadliest in decades. More than 260 bodies were recovered from the festival and at least 800 Israelis have been killed. Israeli air strikes have killed more than 500 people, including 20 children.
Another survivor, Elad Hakim, said the party turned from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.
Hakim said he and his friends quickly realized they should escape but found Hamas militants armed with rifles awaiting them on the roads and in a nearby army base where they tried to find refuge.
After staying in a safe room in the base for 12 hours, they were finally able to make their way back to central Israel, only to find hundreds of burned and damaged cars abandoned on the side of Israeli roads.
