Sickening dashcam video shows how Nova festival-goers were shot at point-blank range by Hamas terrorists armed with automatic rifles
The horror faced by festival-goers as they were killed by Hamas terrorists was captured in dashcam footage from a car at the site.
At least 260 people were killed Saturday in the dawn attack on the Tribe of Nova festival just two kilometers from the Gaza border.
More are believed to have been kidnapped after hundreds of terrorists stormed the site and shot the legs of some to prevent them from escaping.
The latest nightmarish video shows a heavily armed fanatic darting around, apparently ordering a cherished target to come out of hiding as the gunman spits bullets from his assault rifle into the ground.
Seconds later, the Islamist grabs the bloodied young man by the neck and drags him across the screen in an apparent kidnapping attempt.

As they disappear from the shot, a second festival-goer who appears to be dead behind another car raises his head briefly to assess the danger.
Within seconds, another militant dressed in a red T-shirt and sweatpants moves in and shoots him in the head, only for others to start rummaging through the pockets of the now lifeless reveler.
The footage was recorded nearly three hours after the attack and ominous sirens are heard as black smoke billows over the site.
But it would be another six hours before Israeli forces arrived at the site.
Music lovers, mostly in their 20s and 30s, gathered for the peaceful festival in the desert, completely unaware that within minutes members of the Hamas militant group were about to descend from the sky to inflict terror.
They appeared oblivious to the looming terror hovering hundreds of feet above their heads in the distance in footage posted on TikTok.
Footage shot shortly after sunrise showed the eagle-eyed camera person suddenly zooming in on gray dots in the sky, which appeared to be Palestinian militants.
Hamas fighters have managed to infiltrate Israel essentially undetected by parachuting across the normally heavily guarded border.

Moments later the dancing stops.
“Guys, we have red alert,” a voice warned over the speakers. “Red alert.”
At first some of the dancers didn’t even notice the sound of explosions going off in time with the music drowning it out.
Music at what was described as a ‘beautiful party’ with ‘good vibes’ played all night until around 6.30am when a siren started blaring warning of rockets.
Hamas terrorists then cut the electricity as rockets flew overhead and jeeps full of gunmen rushed the site.
“We heard sirens and rockets, tons of rockets,” 27-year-old Millet Ben Haim told the Washington Post. ‘We started running; we didn’t know where to go. Nobody knew what to do.
“I took the car keys from a friend of mine who was really wasted and got as many people in the car as possible and started driving like crazy,” Haim explained. “The people who stayed, most of them were kidnapped or killed.”
When Haim could go no further, they were forced to run across fields to escape.
‘Every direction we ran, more people shot at us; we ran for two hours trying to escape. We started crawling in bushes. Eventually I realized I couldn’t run anymore.’
Scores were taken hostage, including Noa Argamani, a 25-year-old student who was filmed shouting ‘don’t kill me’ as she was dragged away on a motorbike by Hamas thugs.
German tattoo artist Shani Louk, in her 20s, was paraded partially naked through the streets by Hamas militants.
Now the group has announced that it will execute hostages one by one in retaliation for any new Israeli bombing of civilian homes without prior warning.

Gaza City was bombarded by airstrikes on Monday as Israel ordered a “total siege” of the city, cutting off electricity, fuel and food for the Gaza Strip’s 2.3 million people.
