Many of those killed in the Hamas attack that began today are young people who participated in the party. Some of the survivors have begun to report on the difficult event they experienced.

According to reports, the incident began with a rocket attack on the party location. "We thought it was missiles, so we stayed at the party and waited for everything to pass. We knew there would be traffic jams on the way out, so we waited," says Shay Moreno, who attended the party. "At first, we didn't see many police officers.".

Then, the terrorists arrived at the scene and effectively surrounded the people who wanted to escape. "We saw people running for their lives. We hid like partisans under the trees. Every time someone raised their heads, we heard bursts of automatic rifle fire. Everyone present there felt the impact of the bullets and explosions. It's not an easy emotional burden. Angelic people from the encirclement let us in the house, and took care of everything for us.".

Saar Rahamim, another witness, said: "I don't think it was a prank. It was planned. At about 5:30 in the morning, shots were fired at us. As soon as a red alarm sounded, a rush of cars began trying to leave the party, but the terrorists surrounded us. They threw stun grenades at people, terrorists shot in all directions, police officers fell. It was a massacre. We hid in the forest for a few hours. My friends are still missing. I don't know how to deal with what I saw.".
