In an attack on Israel on Saturday, October 7, the terrorist group Hamas killed hundreds of people at the venue of a music festival in the south of the country. Sahar Ben-Sela, who survived the terrible event, described what happened as “the slaughter of animals”.
“It’s like they take all the animals to one place and shoot them all,” he said in an interview with Christiana Amanpour of CNNsitting in a wheelchair in a Tel Aviv hospital.
“Even in the biggest, baddest scene we’ve seen in the movies, I can’t explain how many bullets and rockets were flying around us,” the man shared.
According to him, the policeman ordered the festival-goers to go to the shelter – this call was heeded by dozens of people. However, the attackers began to throw grenades into the shelter and shoot people at close range. The man emphasized that many people died.
“I was hurt… But I couldn’t understand what happened,” Sahar recalled.
