Tali Binner attended the Nova music festival, which turned into a horrific terrorist attack. She and her friends hid in a caravan for hours as Hamas terrorists rampaged outside. Tali heard screams, gunfire, and even a kidnapping attempt. The terrorists tried to enter their caravan multiple times, even attempting to burn it. Tali experienced intense fear, regret over her last message to her mother, and contemplated how she might die. Throughout her ordeal, Tali grappled with the possibility of death, planning how she would act if captured. She described the terrifying silence between bouts of violence, the fear of what was happening to other women, and the struggle to maintain hope. Tali and her friends relied on silent communication and sheer will to survive, holding the caravan door closed when terrorists attempted to enter. After about eight hours, they were finally rescued. Upon emerging, Tali, a nurse, immediately began helping with triage. The experience left her traumatized, with vivid memories of the bodies she saw and the realization that she could have been among the victims. Tali expressed hope for the return of all abductees and for the world to recognize their common
enemy. Her testimony provides insight into the psychological impact of the attack and the resilience of survivors.
