US Edition'It was very, very hard to see': Paramedic recalls horrors of Oct. 7 attack at music festival in Israel
Paramedic Orit Ohana recalls responding to the October 7 attack that left nearly 400 dead and 44 abducted at an Israeli music festival, highlighting ongoing trauma and denial.
- On October 7th, Hamas militants attacked the music festival near the Gaza border, with reports indicating a deadly assault and ongoing trauma for survivors.
- Responding to the incursion, the attack at the music festival was part of broader hostility from Gaza, with no direct mention of Hamas crossing into Israel; observers described the assault as part of ongoing conflict.
- Orit Ohana, paramedic, said `We knew it is very dangerous, but we didn't think about it` as she confronted at least twelve bodies at the gate at the Nova Music Festival.
- Responding to the attack, the Israel Defense Forces began a limited ground operation in Gaza on Oct. 13 to rescue hostages, then launched a full-force assault on Hamas on Oct. 27.
- Two years after Oct. 7, survivors like Orit Ohana still revisit the trauma online, while pro-Palestine activists press the demand 'Cease-fire now' and staged Oct. 7 Day of Action.
