Before the seventh of October, I was searching for myself. I worked as a waitress at the beach and as a saleswoman in an event center.
The Nova Music Festival was an early target of the brutal Hamas massacre and left hundreds dead and countless more injured and fleeing for their lives.
On the way back, we saw ten terrorists on motorcycles. Shooting. Soldiers lying and bleeding. Somehow, we managed to escape, but at the next junction bodies and cries for help.
