The music festival was one of the first targets for Hamas militants as they launched their unprecedented and coordinated attack on Israel, sending panicked partygoers scrambling.

After Hamas militants launched a surprise early morning attack on Israel that has left hundreds dead, Farah Nasser speaks with Eurasia Group chairman Cliff Kupchan on how Israeli Defence Forces were caught off guard, what the latest escalations could mean, and what lies ahead as the situation unravels.Just after dawn on Saturday, Zhiharev spotted what he initially thought were fireworks streaming across the sky.

Zhiharev and others mostly shrugged it off. Israelis are used to seeing rockets fired from Gaza, the vast majority of which are shot down by Israel’s Iron Dome air defence system. Sabreen Abu Daqqa was trapped under the rubble in Gaza for hours, after an Israeli rocket struck her home. When she was finally rescued, she learned three of her children had been killed and another was missing.

The casualties are mounting on both sides to horrific heights not seen in decades. As of Sunday, at least 700 Israelis have been killed. Israeli air strikes have killed more than 400 people, including 20 children.
