It was close to 6am on Saturday, October 7 when Hamas fighters opened fire on the Tribe of Nova music festival. Rescuers say at least 260 bodies were found at the site in the Negev desert, about half an hour’s drive from the border with Gaza. Videos recorded by festival-goers show the nightmare that unfolded when thousands of young people were taken off guard by the attack in the midst of the rave.
Many of them were shot at point-blank range by Hamas assailants as they ran for their lives, and tried to escape in cars or hide.
