Odpeljani z otroki ali sami. Pridržani tedne, mesece ali leta. Zaprti v domovih ugrabiteljev ali predorih Hamasa, medtem ko je nad njimi divjala vojna. Nekdanji izraelski talci, zajeti 7. oktobra 2023, pravijo, da zdaj cenijo tudi najmanjše trenutke svobode. Marsikateri Izraelec se v luči tretje obletnice napada z grozo spominja, kako je v strahu upal, da mu teroristi ne bodo segli po življenju, spet drugi so bili primorani z grozo poslušati ali gledati, kako po življenju segajo njihovim najbližjim. Gre nedvomno za rane, ki se ne bodo zlahka zacelile.
Napad Hamasa velja za najsmrtonosnejši dan Izraela od ustanovitve države leta 1948. Teroristi so namreč divjali po vaseh, glasbenem festivalu in vojaških oporiščih ter pri tem ubili kar 1200 ljudi, 251 oseb pa so zajeli in odvedli v ujetništvo v Gazo. Pri tem niso prizanesli otrokom, ženskam in starejšim. Čeprav je bila večina zajetih izpuščena v zameno za palestinske zapornike med premirjem med Izraelom in Hamasom, jih na desetine ni preživelo.
Pripadniki Hamasa so vdrli v obmejne kibuce. V Nir Ozu, Be’eriju in Kfar Azi so se napotili od hiše do hiše, streljali na ljudi v spalnicah in zakloniščih, zažigali domove, marsikatere preživele pa so vzeli v ujetništvo. V Nir Ozu so denimo vdrli v skoraj vsako gospodinjstvo in požgali skoraj polovico tamkajšnjih hiš. “Vstopili smo v hišo in jo preiskali. Najprej nismo naredili ničesar, jedli smo dateljne in pili vodo. Potem smo slišali jok majhnega otroka. Streljal sem in Ahmed Abu Kamil je tudi streljal v vrata zaklonišča, dokler nismo slišali nobenega zvoka več. Potem je prišla vojska …”, je denimo povedal eden od zajetih teroristov. Na vprašanje izpraševalca, ali ve, zakaj so otroci utihnili oziroma kaj je to pomenilo, je odgovoril: “Pomeni, da so bili mrtvi.” To seveda dokazuje, da je zelo dobro vedel, kaj počne.
Tukaj so nekatere slike, ki nazorno kažejo, kako krvav je bil Hamasov pokol po domovih nekaterih Izraelcev:

7 अक्टूबर 2023 को सुबह 6:29 बजे, फ़िलिस्तीनी हमास के आतंकवादियों ने इज़राइल पर हमला किया।
उन्होंने कई इलाकों में घुसकर घरों में परिवारों की हत्या की, बलात्कार और आगज़नी की, और लोगों का अपहरण किया।
तीन साल बाद भी, इज़राइल उन पीड़ितों और फ़िलिस्तीनी जिहादी आतंकवाद की उस क्रूरता को याद करता है।
हम इसे कभी नहीं भूलेंगे।— Israel in India (@IsraelinIndia) October 7, 2026
This is still one of the most chilling videos from the #October7Massacre.
Hamas terrorists had gunned down a mother in Sderot, in front of her young children, who were still trapped in the back of the car.
Under a hail of bullets, Israeli police ran to save these kids. At first, one of the petrified children thought they were the terrorists, who came back to kill them and started pleading “no, please no.” When she understood it was the police, she begged them “save us please”, asking them to also rescue her baby sister.
The heart truly breaks 💔

Preživeli udeleženci festivala Nova, ki so ga napadli teroristi, so se soočili s hudimi travmami. Tam je Hamas odprl ogenj na neoborožene civiliste, številne ženske so bile pred smrtjo tudi posiljene. Izraelski strokovnjak Guy Svili, ki je vodil skupinske terapije za udeležence festivala, je komentiral: “Tega ni mogoče označiti kot običajno travmo […] To je srečanje z zlom. Nekaterim so prijatelje razrezali na koščke. Pri nekaterih je želja po življenju izginila. V njihove misli se je naselila senca smrti,” je povedal za TheWrap.
Še danes sliši strele
Samohranilka Mazal, ki je otroka pred odhodom na festival Nova odložila pri bivšem možu, je za Mamamia povedala, da strele sliši še danes. “Zdelo se je, kot da letijo krogle z vseh strani. Tekli smo, dokler nam ni preostalo drugega, kot da se skrijemo. Obrnila sem se, da bi ležala na trebuhu, roke pa sem imela na zatilju, da bi ga zaščitila. V tistem trenutku sem samo govorila z Bogom. Nisem mogla verjeti, kaj se dogaja,” se ta z grozo spominja. Pravi, da jo je eden od militantov po zatilju udaril s kopitom puške. Če v tistem trenutku ne bi imela rok na glavi, bi jo udarec najverjetneje ubil.
A okrutneži tedaj še niso opravili z njo, saj je začutila, da so ji noge pričeli vezati z vrvjo. Ko je eden izmed njih segel proti njenemu obrazu, je zadržala dih, kolikor je mogla, saj je vedela, da se mora pretvarjati, da je mrtva. Pravi, da se Bogu zahvaljuje, da se je oblekla v ohlapna oblačila, saj bi v nasprotnem primeru najbrž opazili, da diha. Militanti so tako mislili, da je Mazal mrtva, zato so jo odvezali in pustili na polju. Zaradi strahu in izčrpanosti ter bolečine zaradi rane na glavi je izgubila zavest za približno dve uri. Kar je videla okrog sebe, ko se je prebudila, po njenih besedah ne bi smel videti ali doživeti nihče.

Shani Louk z”l, 22, from Srigim
Shani was murdered at the Nova music festival by Palestinian terrorists on October 7, 2023.
Born in the moshav of Aderet to an Israeli father and a German mother, she was raised in Srigim after her family returned from a few years in Portland, Oregon. As a teenager she danced hip-hop and modern dance, loved music and nature, and designed her own clothes.
At 18 she moved to Tel Aviv, studied graphic design, and opened a small tattoo studio in her apartment. She held Israeli and German citizenship, and traveled to festivals in Europe and Mexico.
She went to Nova to dance with friends and was still dancing at about 6:45 a.m. A video of her disfigured body in the back of a pickup, driven through Gaza while terrorists cheered and shouted “Allahu Akbar,” circulated worldwide within hours and made her one of the most recognized faces of the day.
Her family hoped for weeks that she was alive and being treated in Gaza. At the end of October her death was confirmed from a skull fragment found on a road leading away from the festival. Israeli forces recovered her body from a tunnel in Gaza in May 2024, and she was buried in Srigim.
Shani is remembered for her art, her dreadlocks, and her love of music and dancing. Her brother said she was artistic in the way she moved, and that she had fun until the last moment.
May her memory forever be a blessing.

As talks of a ceasefire ramp up, South First Responders in Israel posts new and horrific footage from October 7:
“The Nova Festival Massacre: Unimaginable Horrors.
364 young party-goers from Israel and around the world were slaughtered as they celebrated peace -and life- at the Nova Music festival on that dark Saturday of October the 7th. 40 more were abducted to Gaza where they remain to this day. Others were brutally raped and tortured, their lives ruined forever. More than 17 policemen died trying to save them.
We are determined to give a voice to all of the victims. To those who are no longer with us, and those who are alive, but still suffering.
In this spirit we are now posting further evidence, in this collection of horrors cast upon us by Hamas at the Nova Music Festival. A reminder that Hamas are enemies of peace — and life.”

Vračanje k tistemu strašnemu dnevu in travmi, ki je sledila, je za marsikoga boleče, a marsikdo je pripravljen o tem govoriti iz preprostega razloga – da bi ljudje vedeli, kaj se je v resnici zgodilo tistega temačnega dne.
