Many videos circulating on social media shows how a party turned into tragedy as Hamas target Israeli music festival. Several videos and photographs have emerged from Israel portraying horror stories following a surprise attack by Hamas fighters in the country that killed around 700 people.
Several videos made by a lady now show how a happy desert music festival quickly devolved into a survival struggle.
The video starts with numerous people seen dancing and enjoying the Supernova celebration in a rural location of southern Israel near the Gaza Strip.
As gunshots are heard, several men and women are seen fleeing for their life across an open field towards cars.
At the festival, thousands of young men and women had danced all night. At dawn on Saturday, more than 1,000 Hamas fighters stormed the Gaza border into Israel and overran border communities under the cover of a rocket barrage.
In one of the videos, the woman can be seen running to her car before being forced out by Hamas members. “Please, please… don’t,” the woman implores the men.
One of the frames shows someone with a gunshot wound before the following one shows the woman screaming and seemingly trying to hide from the attackers.
The video compilation concludes with several children in the hands of Hamas fighters.
According to a volunteer who assisted in the body collection, Hamas gunmen killed roughly 250 individuals who attended the festival over the weekend.
“In the area where the party took place, and at the party itself” it could be estimated that “there were 200-250 bodies,” said Moti Bukjin, a spokesman for the humanitarian NGO Zaka, based on the number of trucks that ferried away the corpses.

This reminds me so much of Bucha. The murders of innocent civilians. The destruction. The fear. Pure terrorism. pic.twitter.com/qhxeKFGbUC

Drone footage shows hundreds of automobiles abandoned in the rush to exit the event site after the massacre.
Cars were left by the roadside near Kibbutz Re’im, adjacent to Gaza, from which Hamas launched its surprise attack, several of which were wrecked or pockmarked with bullet impacts.
The music festival was one of the gunmen’s first targets. They flooded Israel on motorcycles, pickup vehicles, speed boats, and motorised gliders, some of which were seen flying over the celebration in a widely circulated video.
A video of Noa Argamani, 25, apparently pleading for help from the back of a motorbike while being kidnapped went viral on social media yesterday.
According to the gloomy 250 estimate, the number of deceased at the festival accounts for more than a third of the total death toll from the Hamas attack.
According to the Gaza health ministry, at least 560 people have been killed in the succeeding Israeli air attacks.
