This is the best summary I could come up with:
Hundreds of Israelis fled an outdoor festival in the desert in a panic when Palestinian militants invaded it, videos on social media show.
The attack on the festival came amid a wave of surprise raids by the Palestinian militant group into southern Israel on Saturday.
The video is captioned: "Palestinian terrorists invaded a festival where hundreds of Israelis were camping out for the Shemini Atzeret holiday.
Armed gunmen are infiltrating Israeli communities by crossing the border fence in several locations and gun fights in the streets of town has been reported.
In a rare statement, Hamas’ military commander Mohammed Deif called on Palestinians in Israel and neighboring Arab countries to join the attack, which he has dubbed “Operation Al-Aqsa Storm,” per the Washington Post.
The attack comes during the Jewish holy festival of Shemini Atzeret and a day after Israel marked the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War.
