The day after the terrible attack on Israel, the extent of the terror becomes clear.
Around 3,000 people gathered on Saturday at Kibbutz Re'im, just four kilometers from the Gaza Strip. The people wanted to party, it was supposed to be a festival for families. But the rave ended in unprecedented terror.
"In the middle of the party, which was big and loud, the alarm went off," festival-goer Ortel told Channel 12 in a trembling voice. The music stopped, the electricity was cut off, then shots were fired. "They came out of nowhere and fired in all directions." Panic spread among the guests.
"Fifty terrorists arrived in vans, dressed in military uniforms." Everyone ran to their cars, the survivor explains. "They fired volleys. I hid in a small tree." Countless people were shot in front of her eyes.

Paramedic Yaniv, who was on duty at the festival, also reported on the event: "It was a massacre, I've never seen anything like it in my life. It was a planned ambush," he told the Kore.il portal.
"When people came out of the emergency exits, terrorist squads were waiting for them and started shooting." Many lost their lives in the parking lot, others sought refuge in porta-potties and were shot there.
