What began as a joyous celebration at the Israeli Nova Music Festival on October 7 quickly turned into a nightmare of unimaginable proportions. A male survivor of the Hamas-led massacre has courageously shared his harrowing experience of assault and humiliation at the hands of his captors.

In an interview with the British Daily Mail, a survivor identified only as D., recounted the horrifying sequence of events that unfolded that day. D. described the festival’s initial atmosphere as vibrant and unique, filled with interesting people and distinctive music. However, at 6:30 a.m., chaos erupted when Hamas terrorists infiltrated the festival grounds.

Overwhelmed by fear and panic, D. attempted to flee but found himself surrounded by members of Hamas’ Nukhba Force. Forced to the ground, he experienced a chilling dissociation from his body as he endured a savage rape.

“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 for them, to let them do whatever they want to do to me,” D. recounted. “Even today I am ashamed of it, but at that moment, I felt such shame, like something in me was damaged.”

Miraculously, D. managed to escape when his captor momentarily left him unattended. As he fled D. witnessed people being mutilated, limbs amputated, and countless bodies strewn across the blood-soaked ground.

The trauma of his assault left D. initially reluctant to speak about the experience. However, a close friend helped him find a degree of comfort to share his horror tale.

At a time when global sympathies have shifted from Israel to Hamas post-Oct. 7, brave testimonies like D.’s exposes the true barbaric nature of Iran’s terror proxy.

    השם יקום את דמם. עשית כל מה שאתה צריך לעשות כדי לשרוד ולספר את מה שהבהמות האשפתיות האלה עשו. כי כאן בגולה הם אומרים שלא קרה ורק גיבורים כמוך שיש להם אומץ לספר את הזוועות
    הלא אנושיות זאת ההוכחה היחידה יש לנו נגדם.
    אתה גיבור לא משנה מה עשו הנבחות כי אתה מדבר בשם כל אלה שלא שרדו. כל אלה שעשו להם ככה בדיוק והרגו אותם. אתה לא שונה מניצולי השואה ואם אתה רואה בהם גיבורים אתה צריך לראות בעצמך אחד כזה. כי רק אלה ששורדים יכולים לדבר ולספר את האמת. מי שצריך להתבייש זה הבהמות האלה. כשורדת אונס תן לי להגיד
    לך שהנקמה הכי טובה זה לשרוד ולא לתת למה שהם עשו לך להשפיע עליך ולגרום לך להפסיק לחיות. להיות תחייה חיים שלמים ומלאים ותעזור לאנשים כמוך ותתפלל לאבא שאיתן לך חוזק ונקמה לגויים. אתה אהוב ממרחקים ע”י כולם. זה דורש אומץ.לב מה שעשית וימי שמם רצו שלא תדבר . אבל דיברתי והם יצאו החיות הבהמתיות. חיבוקים מכאן. עם ישראל חי ונושם !!!!! ועוד נכה בהם!
