00:00 Now that the picture has become clear, the focus shifts to the Nova festival in Israel
00:09 that became the first target of the deadly Hamas attack on Israeli soil on Saturday morning.
00:17 The gathering, intended to be a night of joy and celebration, transformed into a scene
00:35 of carnage and mourning.
00:38 Hamas terrorists launched a devastating attack at the crack of the dawn.
00:43 The outdoor event, attended by Israeli revelers, faced relentless rocket strikes, leaving at
00:48 least 260 casualties in its wake.
00:54 Describing it as one of the most terrifying attacks by Hamas inside Israel, witnesses
00:59 recounted the chaos that unfolded.
01:01 Attendees, caught in an open space with no shelter, found themselves at the mercy of
01:07 the attackers.
01:09 Videos circulating from the event depict scenes of panic as festival-goers attempted to escape
01:14 the onslaught.
01:16 As attendees fled in their cars, roads became congested and chaos ensued.
01:22 Gunshots added to the pandemonium, compelling people to abandon vehicles and run for their
01:27 lives.
01:29 Disturbing videos surfaced on social media, revealing hostages taken by Hamas.
01:34 Several attendees were shown being kidnapped in videos during rounds on social media.
01:39 One was seen pleading for help while being driven away on a motorcycle.
01:44 And that has become one of the defining moments of the ferocity of the attack.
