Hamas militants attacked a large music festival in the desert near the Gaza-Israel border, killing hundreds of people and triggering chaotic escape efforts as revelers tried to run or hide from gunfire

Old and new friends jumped up and down, reveling the swirl of the bass-heavy beats.

Another said she had just seen Hamas gunmen shoot and kill her best friend. Another rocked in his seat, murmuring over and over, “We are going to die.'

The roar of explosions, hysterical screams and automatic gunfire felt closer the further she drove.
