This is the best summary I could come up with:
Just hours later, their social media pages are now flooded with desperate people trying to find loved ones, after Palestinian militants stormed the festival and opened fire as part of huge surprise attack on Israel.
“They turned off the electricity and suddenly out of nowhere they [militants] come inside with gunfire, opening fire in every direction,” she told Israel’s Channel 12.
Festival-goer Adam Barel told Haaretz that everyone at the rave had been aware there was a chance of rocket fire in the area - but the gunfire was a shock.
Many festival-goers - like Ortel - hid in nearby bushes and fruit orchards for hours, hoping for the military to arrive and rescue them.
Among those missing is British man Jake Marlowe, 26, who was working as a security guard at the music event, and German tourist, Shani Louk, whose mother believes she was kidnapped.
Fighting between the Israeli military and Palestinian militants is continuing, and Israel has launched a wave of air strikes on Gaza.
