When Hamas attacked, an Israeli music festival turned into a horrific 'massacre'

The Supernova music festival in southern Israel, which was eagerly anticipated by music lovers, turned into a scene of terror when Palestinian militants launched a surprise attack. The festival was taking place in the desert to coincide with the Jewish festival of Sukkot, and organizers had expressed excitement about the upcoming event on social media. However, just hours later, their social media pages were filled with desperate pleas from people trying to locate their loved ones after the militants stormed the festival and opened fire. Eyewitnesses reported hearing sirens warning of rockets, followed by gunshots. It was revealed that the militants arrived in vans dressed in military uniforms and proceeded to shoot at anyone in their path. Many festival-goers attempted to flee, but found themselves under fire from gunmen in jeeps. People were left wounded and in shock, hiding in trees and bushes as they tried to make sense of the chaos. The festival site, located near the Gaza Strip, became a battleground as militants infiltrated neighboring towns and villages, taking hostages along the way. Some attendees managed to escape by hiding in orchards and bushes, waiting for the military to rescue them. Witnesses described the harrowing scenes they witnessed, with gunmen shooting indiscriminately. The true number of casualties is still unknown, but one emergency medic reported seeing at least 200 bodies. Friends and families of those at the festival are desperate for news on their missing loved ones. Among the missing is a British man who was working as a security guard at the event. Videos circulating on social media have shown individuals who are believed to have been kidnapped during the attack. The fighting between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants continues, with Israel launching air strikes on Gaza in retaliation. Palestinian officials claim that at least 313 people have been killed in the strikes.
