Newly released video captures the haunting moment an Israeli police officer was met with eerie silence as he desperately called for survivors after the Nova Music Festival massacre, where Hamas killed some 260 people on Oct. 7.
“Anyone, please! Give us a sign of life! Anyone? Any signs of life? Can anyone answer?” shouted the increasingly panicked police at the scene of the carnage.
Despite the officer’s appeal during the nearly 2-minute video, no one responded.
The video opens with the officer, identified only as Aran, shouting that he is a member of the Israel Defense Forces while armed and searching for wounded victims at a desert concert venue near Gaza.
Instead, the officer found four bodies sprawled on the floor, with more bodies piled up, in the adjacent bar, much to the officer’s dismay.
“Everybody dies. The whole bar is full of dead bodies,” he said grimly.

The IDF officer began to panic as he shouted for the survivors to show themselves or call for help if they were injured, but no one answered.
The attack on the Nova Music Festival, which had thousands of people attending the festivities, was among the deadliest of the October 7 Hamas attacks that left more than 1,400 dead across Israel.
It is also the site of some of the most shocking violence perpetrated by Hamas, with videos and images showing gruesome kidnappings by the terrorists as well as bloody casualties.

A day after the partygoers were attacked, Israel’s Foreign Ministry posted pictures of the aftermath, including dozens of bodies lying motionless in tents and bodies riddled with bullets.
The festival is where German-Israeli tattoo artist Shani Louk was kidnapped and then paraded through the streets of Gaza. His body was found last week, with officials saying terrorists had “beheaded him.”
It’s also where Hamas kidnapped French-Israeli Mia Shem, one of the world’s few hostages seen alive after the terror group released a video of her receiving medical treatment for an injured arm.
