Body camera footage has emerged showing Israeli security forces searching for survivors in the aftermath of the bloody Hamas rampage through an outdoor music concert in southern Israel
An Israeli security officer could be seen drawing a pistol, his hand shaking violently. Hours earlier that day, Oct. 7, these desolate fields in southern Israel had teemed with thousands of young people dancing to electronic music under the night sky and camping out in tents or mobile homes. Now, it was silent. The officer peered quickly into one of the trailers. “Who's inside?” he called out in Hebrew, his voice pained. It was empty.
It was a chilling depiction of what rescuers encountered in the wake of Hamas' unprecedented attack on the sleepy Israeli farm communities. One of Hamas' first targets was the Nova music festival near Kibbutz Be’eri, only five kilometers from the Gaza Strip. After surging over the border, Hamas gunmen emptied rounds of live ammunition on the revelers, including hand grenades and mortar fire, killing over 260 people in what has become the biggest civilian massacre in Israeli history.
