Five close Israeli friends – Guy Azar , Moshe Saadyan , Ben Hasid , Raz Mordechai and Or Moshe – attended the Supernova music festival together this weekend. When Hamas terrorists attacked in the early hours of Saturday morning, at least 260 were left dead. Ben was murdered. Guy is believed to have been taken hostage in Gaza and later killed. Moshe remains missing. Only Or and Raz made it home.At around 6.30am, the music stopped abruptly and everyone snapped to their senses.
Just ahead and beyond the police blockade, a black van pulled up full of terrorists who opened fire. The police shot back. Overhead we could hear the roar of rockets, ripping through the brilliant blue sky. Once in our car, we realized the obvious problem: 3000 people were all trying to leave at once along the same road. Traffic ground to a halt almost immediately. .
And so we ran. Ran for our lives. Not looking back, not to the left or right. Just hoping against hope we wouldn’t lose each other, that we would both make it out. A police van pulled up to offer extra protection as a rocket-propelled grenade struck the ground. It didn't explode.We sprinted away from the road, then back again, not knowing which direction to go. The two of us managed to stay together but – before we knew it – Guy, Moshe and Ben were nowhere to be seen. .
In the end, we waited three and a half hours until, finally, IDF reinforcements arrived to evacuate us.
