'They were going tree by tree and shooting' - Israeli partygoer describes festival attack

Oct 28,2022 1:50 pm

Gili Yoskovich was among hundreds of Young People at a dance Music Festival in southern Israel, near the Gaza Strip , when gunmen opened fire in the Early Hours of Saturday Morning , as Palestinian militants launched a co-ordinated attack on Israel.

She described to The Bbc how she hid under a tree in a field as gunmen roamed about shooting anybody they found.

" They were. . All over The Place with automatic weapons.

" They were standing next to The Cars starting to shoot but I realised it was very easy to get killed. . because everyone was going everywhere.

" The Terrorists were coming from four or five Places . . so we didn't know whether to go here, so then I got into my car again and I drove a little bit more.

" Some People were shooting at me. I left The Car and started to run, I saw a place with many pomelo trees and I went there.

" So I was in The Middle [of this field] and I was lying on the floor. It was The Second Hiding Place I found and they were just All around me.

" They were going tree by tree and shooting. Everywhere. From Two Sides . I saw people were Dying All around. I was very quiet. I didn't cry, I didn't do anything.

" But I was on The One hand breathing, saying: 'OK, I'm going to die. It's OK, just breathe, just close your eyes,' because it was shooting everywhere, it was very very close to me.

" Then I Heard The Terrorists open a big Van . . and get more weapons from this car. They were in the area for Three Hours . No-one was there, no-one.

" I was sure the army would come, I Heard some helicopters, I was sure the army would come down with helicopters and ropes and go down into this field and Save Us . But no-one was there. Just All these terrorists. " They were very close to me and my leg was shaking. I tried and did my best, I moved a little bit and when they were in This Side I Heard them talking Arabic.

" I tried to be more under The Tree so maybe when The Shooting comes, they will not touch my face. " I was lying there for Three Hours .

" I was just thinking about my kids, My Friend , about everything and I was saying it's not The Time to die for me, Not Yet . Then I started to hear some Hebrew from one side, [but] Arabic from three sides. I realised that there were some soldiers, maybe five or six.

" I decided to go to these soldiers. Meanwhile there were still terrorists around, so I was going with my Hands Up so that they will know that its me and I'm not a terrorist. Then someone was putting me in a car. " I was The First one to Get Out of The Field . It took others two or three more hours to Get Out [and] All The Way people were Dying - All The Way on The Road , Young People , [as] it's a festival for Young People .

Many many people were Dying on The Road .

Whoever tried to Run Away they were shooting from both sides. So best was to hide. " The Most crazy thing is how come we were there for such a long time and No One was there. No army, no police. Nothing. "
