Two survivors described dodging bullets as they frantically drove off-road through a field to escape the violence. 'I really heard the [bullets] whistle, I think it's the most terrifying thing I've been through because it's really next to you, you know you can feel it,' one explained.
A helicopter gunship fired into the near distance in Gaza and a cloud of black smoke began to rise as I walked along the road that leads to the scene of the worst terror attack in Israeli history. An outdoor party - a festival, a rave, call it what you like - but just a few hundred metres from where I was standing, the Israeli defence forces are still trying to identify and remove the bodies of over 250 young men and women killed in a bloodthirsty orgy of violence by Hamas killers.
'It's because a lot of people have been in the party and a lot of people come with cars, so yeah, you're stuck in there, you have a big road of cars that are waiting to go to the exit, but they stay in one place, they're not moving,' she said. Hai made a decision that likely saved their lives - instead of waiting in the traffic jam, they decided it was best to drive across the fields in the opposite direction to where they thought the shooting was coming from.
