An aerial view shows the burnt cars of festival-goers at the site of an attack on the Nova Festival by Hamas gunmen from Gaza, near Israel's border with the Gaza Strip, in southern Israel, October 12, 2023 “On October 6, last Friday, me and my friends Iosi Dorin, Dany Cohen, José Guilherme Campos and Marcel Grossman went to the Festival Universo Paralello in Israel, dubbed Nova Festival, on the kibbutz Re'im in the south,” Fernando Gottdank wrote in a Facebook post. All the fun, he said, soon came to a “bleak halt.” ‘I almost started recording a goodbye video’ “As we toasted, we hear a boom. “At this point I really though we could die, I almost started recording a goodbye video but I didn't do it because I thought that would cause panic between us.
