Horrifying images show victims of Hamas attack at Nova music festival

Tamir said he and 100 others were spared when Israeli soldiers used their bodies as human shields to protect those lying on the ground from incoming gunfire and explosions.

The soldiers protected us with their bodies, and we saw them falling before our eyes, he said.

Tamir likened the attack to a war zone, where the startled partygoer and his friends ran for cover behind trees and bushes as Hamas forces shot civilians and took hostages.

He noted that those who fled for the woods were spared an immediate ambush that Hamas had prepared for those who ran for the parking center.

People tried to run to their cars, but the terrorists waited and slaughtered them as they tried to get into their cars and escape, he explained.
