The terrorists laughed while they raped and murdered women, an eyewitness told CNN in an interview on Thursday (local time). “I think it was for fun,” he said. The 24-year-old was one of the visitors to the festival in the Negev desert where hundreds of people were killed.
According to him, his girlfriend was among the victims. The 24-year-old continued that he managed to hide in a bush. From there he observed five men in civilian clothes surrounding a woman and undressing her. One of the men began to rape the woman. “It lasted regarding 40 seconds,” the eyewitness said. The man then killed the woman with a knife and continued to rape her dead body.
Several murders observed
The eyewitness continued that he had observed other murders. A festival visitor who was fleeing from the attackers was shot in the head right next to him. From his hiding place he also saw the terrorists killing a man and a woman with knives and an axe. Israeli soldiers only found the 24-year-old following nine hours. According to Israeli reports, at least 350 people were killed in the bloodbath in the Negev Desert, including the German Shani Louk.
CNN analyzed various eyewitness accounts and videos of the terrorists’ bloody deeds at the music festival, it said. The 24-year-old’s statements might not be independently verified.
Acts broadcast live on the Internet
Israeli police began an investigation into reports of mass sexual crimes once morest women on October 7th. An independent expert commission is also collecting evidence. The terrorists from Hamas and other groups had documented many of their atrocities themselves with body cameras, some of which were broadcast live on social media and also on the victims’ cell phones.
