“I’m on the ground. Two of my friends are dead. I don’t know what I can do. I was looking at the road. The terrorists were doing crimes in front of my eyes; taking people out of their cars and shooting them in front of my eyes,” Yuval Siman Tov said.Siman Tov and several of his friends were among thousands of people who attended the Re’im Music Festival for what he remembered as an “amazing and fun” experience that took a turn for the worse.‘We saw black souls.
He said he and his friends immediately ran to their car and drove away, but they had no idea hundreds of armed terrorists had already crossed the border. He said the terrorists were on motorcycles, in trucks and on foot.The gunfire badly damaged their vehicle, causing it to stop working. His friend who was shot did not survive. He and the other friend got out of the disabled vehicle and started running.
Playing dead saved Tov’s life because he said the terrorists walked right past what they thought was his dead body. He said once it was clear, he got up and ran away.“Yes. I didn’t feel anything because I was just running and trying to get from any scary place I got into,” Tov said. across the country.
