The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas continues, with live updates providing the latest information. The war, which has escalated in recent days, has resulted in numerous casualties and destruction on both sides. The Israeli military has carried out airstrikes on various Hamas targets, including tunnels and rocket launch sites, while Hamas has launched rockets towards Israeli cities. The international community, including the United Nations, has expressed concerns over the escalating violence and called for an immediate ceasefire. Efforts are underway to negotiate a truce, but tensions remain high as both sides exchange fire..
Rafael Zimerman says he hid out in a bunker near the music festival that was attacked by Hamas in southern Israel on Saturday.
On the day of the attack, he recalled running with his friends from “a lot of rockets.” He said a car then took him and others to a nearby bunker, where 40-50 people eventually were hiding from the attack. He was near the back of the bunker as he was one of the first to get there, he told CNN’s Anderson Cooper Tuesday night.
Zimerman heard police fighting the attackers and said that at one point gas was thrown into the bunker, which he said reminded him of the gas used by Nazis to kill Jews during the Holocaust.
“With the gas, you cannot breathe,” he said. “It’s impossible to breathe after 30 seconds.”
Following the gas, the attackers entered the bunker and began shooting and throwing flash-bang grenades.
“I just covered myself with dead people, a lot of dead people,” he said. “So I stayed for there inside like for hours, like just waiting for die, you know? I just wanted to die in peace because I suffered so much from the gas.”
Zimerman, who has shrapnel wounds from the attack, said he did not move while covered by dead people in the bunker. Eventually, six people escaped, he said.
“I’m a miracle. I’m a survivor and I have to be glad,” Zimerman added.
Israeli officials counted at least 260 bodies near the site of the Nova festival, outside Re’im, after the slaughter by Hamas Saturday morning.
“We were partying, you know, just partying and the life, young people, just living,” he recalled. “A lot of people from all the world. It doesn’t matter their religion. It doesn’t matter from where you are,” he said.

Zimerman and his friends ran from the rockets and sought refuge in the bunker, where around 40-50 people were hiding. He recalled hearing police fighting the attackers and being exposed to gas, which reminded him of the gas used during the Holocaust. The attackers eventually entered the bunker, shooting and throwing flash-bang grenades. Zimerman covered himself with dead bodies and stayed still for hours, eventually escaping with six others. He expressed gratitude for his survival and lamented the loss of life at the festival.
