Bild has reconstructed the massacre at the Re’im music festival near the border with the Gaza Strip. It was a “festival for peace” marking the holiday of Sukkot. Guests of the festival became the first victims of the Hamas terrorists on the morning of October 7. The details are shocking.
- The shelling from Gaza began at 6:30 a.m. Many of the guests had been partying all night and were still awake. They were urged not to panic as rocket alarm is a common thing in southern Israel. People were told to go to the parking lot, get in their cars and leave.
- It was there at around 7:00 a.m. that the first militants arrived on the road from Gaza. At first a few policemen and armed men tried to restrain the terrorists, but then they outnumbered.
- The festival guests who ran into the desert to the east, away from Gaza, mostly survived, although some were shot in the back by the militants. Those who ended up in the parking lot, by the roadside, close to cars or in the nearby woods, were killed or captured.
- Terrorists shot those who were hiding under cars in cold blood. “Women were raped next to the bodies of their friends, dead bodies,” one eyewitness said. Raped girls were either killed or taken to Gaza. In many videos, the captives have blood flowing down their legs.
- In total, the massacre lasted about three hours. Then the terrorists started looting cars and searching corpses.
