Gunshots could be heard across the remnants of the Nova Festival of trance music early on October 12. Israeli soldiers patrolled the grounds, which only days ago was the site of a massacre carried out by Hamas militants. Drone footage showed horrific scenes, and scattered belongings at the site of the Nova music festival which was Hamas one of the first targets amid the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. The trance music festival was attended by thousands of young people which were the militants' first targets. As many as 260 people lost their lives and dozens were taken hostage by the Hamas terrorist group. Death, destruction, and bloodshed in war-hit Israel could be seen at the site of the Nova music festival. Hamas gunmen wreaked havoc in Re’im when Israelis were enjoying the party. Hundreds ran for their lives when Hamas terrorists launched an attack at the concert. Israeli military spokesperson called Hamas an ISIS and said that they won’t live with ISIS next to their borders. The war between Israel and Hamas has entered Day 07 and over 2,700 people have been killed so far.

Sagar and Suraj Nagaraj are second generation Australian immigrants; their parents settled in Australia in 1993. #sagarnagaraj #surajnagaraj #bollywoodmusic #australia #music #concerts #sydney
