The Full Testimony

Testimony of 

Ben Sadeh

On Friday, Ben returned from his post-army travels and arrived at the long-awaited Nova Festival the next day. When the sirens sounded, the sun was shining. He ran to the car and drove away with five other people. The road was blocked, so they exited the car and ran to hide in the orchards. When the bullets caught up with them, they flattened themselves to the ground and continued advancing to Moshav Patish, where they got help. Ben updated his father, and he was called up for military reserve duty in the evening.
