Before Ben Shimoni ran back towards danger as Hamas militants launched a terror attack at the Supernova Festival, four women whose lives he had just saved begged him to seek shelter, his cousin Keren Shimoni previously told The Independent.
Shimoni, 31, was among more than 3,500 attendees at the all-night rave near Kibbutz Re’im, nearly three miles from the Gaza border, when the violence broke out. As the arid dust of the Negev desert turned red with blood and dead bodies piled on the side of the road, Shimoni indiscriminately welcomed frantic strangers inside his car hoping to save them, witnesses told his family.
