A horrifying testimony from the inferno: D', an Israeli citizen who participated in the Nova Festival on October 7th, recounts in an interview with the British newspaper "Daily Mail" his raped by Hamas terrorists during the terrorist attack and massacre on that dreadful day.

"At that moment, I am like a doll to them. At that moment, I am their Jewish doll. That is what I am supposed to do, to them, to do whatever they want to me. I was raped there. There were several people, five in total, but two were directly involved in holding me down during the assault. There was spitting, screaming, laughter - impossible things. In that moment, you feel torn between wanting to scream and maintaining a kind of silence."

After the rape, D' said he could see people being taken away in cars as hostages. "Their commander was there, and I was supposed to stay with someone in the same place. He left for some reason, and I didn't dare move because of everything that had happened," he recounted.

"But at some point, he disappeared. They had various people calling for them and things they were discussing." D' said he didn't have much strength left, so he hid near the stage area of the festival grounds. Eventually, Israeli rescue teams arrived and found him.
