A backstage manager and a bartender describe Hamas tapping radio transmissions, descending in motorized paragliders and slaughtering festivalgoers hiding in a refrigerator
militants killed 260 people on Saturday was supposed to be an escape – a tight-knit community’s peaceful celebration of love, nature and electronic dance music, event staffers who spoke to. They described Hamas fighters descending from the sky on motorized paragliders and heavily armed militants chasing terrified festivalgoers with trucks and motorcycles.
“We called the Army to let them know we were in the security station, stuck. We asked, ‘Where are you?’ Then we heard in Arabic Hebrew, ‘are on the way for you,'” he said, explaining Hamas had overheard the radio communication and responded with an ominous threat. Mizrachi linked up with friends, broke through a fence and jumped into a police officer’s van. His two friends were hit by bullets shot through the exterior, he said. A rocket propelled grenade hit the back of the vehicle, wounding some passengers with burns and lacerations, he said.
“My best friend living in Costa Rica, his two sisters are missing. Who gave them the free passes? It was me. It’s on my heart,” Mizrachi said. “We’re talking with the police, to get the information, but they don’t have information. I think Hamas doesn’t even know how many prisoners they have.” “There was shooting from every direction. Suddenly, one of the girls screamed that someone was aiming a missile at us. After a second, there was a big boom that hit in the middle of our group. It was like in the movies. You see all gray, there’s wind in your face, and sound. Then you don’t hear anything in your ears, you hear only buzzing. I just started to run,” she recalls. “We knew they saw us. We knew they could come and kill all of us.
