Sickening dashcam video shows how Nova festival-goers were shot at point-blank range by Hamas terrorists armed with automatic rifles
- Footage shows terrorists firing off hundreds of rounds as their victims struggle to hide
- One man is violently dragged out from his hiding place to an unknown fate
- Another who was pretending to be dead is casually shot in the head before his lifeless body is stripped of its possessions
The horror that faced festival-goers as they were murdered by Hamas terrorists was captured in dashcam footage from a car at the site.
At least 260 people were killed in the dawn attack on the Tribe of Nova festival just two miles from the Gaza border on Saturday.
More are thought to have been kidnapped after hundreds of terrorists stormed the site, shooting the legs off some to prevent them from escaping.
The latest nightmarish video shows a heavily armed fanatic darting about, apparently ordering a cowed target to get out of his hiding place as the gunman spews bullets from his assault rifle into the ground.
Seconds later the Islamist grabs the bloodied young man by the scruff of the neck and drags him across screen in an apparent kidnap attempt.

As they disappear from shot a second festival-goer who appears to have been pretending to be dead behind another car briefly pops his head up to assess the danger.
Within seconds another militant dressed in a red T-shirt and track suit bottoms moves in and shoots him in the head, only for others to start rifling through the pockets of the now lifeless reveler.
The footage was recorded nearly three hours into the attack and eerie sirens are heard blaring as black smoke drifts across the site.
But it would be another six hours before Israeli forces arrived at the site.
Music lovers, mostly in their 20s and 30s, had gathered for the peaceful festival in the desert completely unaware that within minutes members of the Hamas militant group were about to descend from the skies to inflict terror.
They appeared to be oblivious to the impending terror floating hundreds of feet above their heads in the distance in footage posted to TikTok.
Footage shot soon after sunrise, showed the eagle-eyed cameraperson suddenly zoom in on grey dots in the air, which turn out to be Palestinian militants.
Hamas fighters managed to infiltrate Israel essentially undetected by paragliding across the normally heavily guarded frontier.

Moments later, the dancing stops.
‘Guys, we have red alert,’ a voice over the loudspeakers warned. ‘Red alert.’
Initially, some of those dancing didn’t even notice the sound of explosions going off with the beat of the music drowning it out.
Music at what had been described as a ‘beautiful party’ with ‘good vibes’ played all night until round 6.30am when a siren began blaring warning of rockets.
Hamas terrorists then cut the electricity as rockets flew overhead and jeeps filled with gunmen ran onto the site.
‘We heard sirens and rockets, tons of rockets,’ 27-year-old Millet Ben Haim told the Washington Post. ‘We started running; we didn’t know where to go. Nobody knew what to do.
‘I took the car keys from a friend of mine that was really wasted and got as many people in the car as possible and started driving like crazy,’ Haim explained. ‘The people who stayed, most of them got kidnapped or murdered.’
When Haim couldn’t go any further, they were forced to run across fields to escape.
‘Every direction we ran we had more people shooting at us; we were running for two hours trying to escape. We started crawling in bushes. Eventually I realized I couldn’t run anymore.’
Scores were taken hostage including Noa Argamani, a 25-year-old student who was filmed screaming ‘don’t kill me’ as she was dragged away on a motorcycle by Hamas thugs.
German tattoo artist Shani Louk, aged in her 20s, was paraded partially naked through the streets by Hamas militants.
Now the group has announced that it will execute hostages one by one in retaliation for any new Israeli bombing of civilian houses without pre-warning.

Abu Obaida, spokesperson for Hamas’ armed wing, the IQB, said they have been acting in accordance with Islamic instructions by keeping Israeli captives safe.
He blamed the intended move on Israel’s stepped-up bombing and killing of civilians inside their homes in air strikes without warning them.
‘We have decided to put an end to this and as of now, we declare that any targeting of our people in their homes without prior warning will be regrettably faced with the execution of one the hostages of civilians we are holding,’ he said.
Gaza City was bombarded by airstrikes on Monday as Israel ordered a ‘complete siege’ of the city, cutting off electricity, fuel and food for the Gaza Strip’s 2.3 million people.
