Israel Music Fest Survivor Says She Hid Under Dead Bodies For 7 Hours

A music festival in Israel was the site of one of the first attacks by Hamas over the weekend, where over 250 people were killed. Videos on social media showed hundreds of people running in all directions, scrambling for their lives as Hamas men fired at them. Now, one person who was at the festival, said she survived the attack by hiding under dead bodies for seven hours, the New York Post reported. 

As per the report, Lee Sasi and about 35 others had taken cover in a bomb shelter when they were discovered by Hamas fighters, who began shooting into the bunker at random. However, by the time she was saved, only 10 people came out alive. She said they survived by hiding underneath the bodies of those who were killed.

Ms Sasi later narrated the horrific ordeal to her friend Natasha Raquel Kirtchuk Gutman on Instagram.

“Yes after 7 hours of being in hiding under dead bodies in the bomb shelters. I'm not joking,'' she wrote along with a photo and a video of what appears to be several bodies stacked on top of each other.

Thousands of young people attended the Nature Party, near Kibbutz Re'im close to Gaza, which became one of the first targets of Palestinian gunmen who crossed into Israel early on Saturday in the biggest attack on the country in decades. The attackers stormed Israel on motorbikes, pickup trucks, speed boats, and motorised gliders, some of which were seen flying over the festival in a video widely shared online.

As rocket fire exploded around, panicked partygoers tried to escape in any way they could.

"At one stage me and a friend got into a car with people we didn't know and we just jumped into a car with lots of people and started to drive," said 23-year-old Zohar Maariv. After the car came under fire, they fled on foot and hid for hours until they were rescued. Many victims were shot in the back as they ran.

Previously, a video of 25-year-old woman Noa Argamani reportedly crying for help from the back of a motorbike while being kidnapped spread across social media. 

 Israel today said it recaptured Gaza border areas from Hamas terrorists as the war's death count passed 3,000 on Tuesday, the fourth day of fierce fighting since the Islamists launched a surprise attack. The death count in Israel has surged above 900 from the worst attack in the country's 75-year history, while Gaza officials have reported 765 people killed so far.

Sri Lanka Must Achieve Debt Restructuring By September: IMF

The International Monetary Fund on Tuesday reaffirmed that Sri Lanka must achieve its debt restructuring process by September, which is also the time for the global lender's formal review of the bailout facility it extended to the cash-strapped nation. On March 20, IMF extended a nearly $3 billion bailout facility to debt-ridden Sri Lanka that would help stabilise the country's economy after it was jolted by a devastating economic crisis last year. In a statement issued on Tuesday at the end of a nearly two weeks staff visit to Colombo to assess the progress made by Sri Lanka since the agreement was reached, the IMF said the two sides had discussed the developments on debt restructuring. "Sri Lanka must achieve debt restructuring by its first review due in September. We also discussed progress on debt restructuring, noting the ongoing discussions with both foreign and domestic creditors," the statement read. Sri Lanka is still struggling to normalise its crisis-hi...

Amazon Rainforest Tribe's Secret To Healthy Life And Slow Ageing Revealed

Deep in the Amazon rainforest, a semi-nomadic indigenous community is thriving. This community defies conventional norms on ageing and health. The Tsimanes, consisting of 16,000 people, live a fully subsistence lifestyle, relying on hunting, foraging and farming to survive. Scientists have been studying this unique group for two decades, and have uncovered remarkable findings till now. Martina Canchi Nate, an 84-year-old Tsimanes woman, digs up yucca trees, cuts down plantain trees and carries heavy loads with ease, faster than her younger companions, as per a BBC report. This level of physical activity is not unusual among Tsimanes of her age. Researchers have discovered that this group has the healthiest arteries ever studied and brains that age more slowly than those in North America, Europe and elsewhere. The Tsimanes' secret lies in their active lifestyle, with an average of 16,000 to 17,000 steps per day. They spend less than 10 percent of daylight hours in sedentary activ...

Biden Warns "All Out War" Possible In Middle East

US President Joe Biden warned Wednesday of the possibility of an "all-out war" in the Middle East but said he was hopeful a settlement was still achievable for the conflict-torn region. Biden's comments as he appeared on ABC chat show "The View" came as Israel put troops on alert for possible entry into Lebanon and the war in Gaza grinds on. "An all-out war is possible," Biden said when asked about the situation. "What I think is, also, the opportunity is still in play to have a settlement that could fundamentally change the whole region." Biden appeared to raise the possibility of a ceasefire in Lebanon, where Israeli strikes targeting the Hezbollah militia have killed more than 600 people this week. "They have a possibility -- I don't want to exaggerate it -- there's a possibility if we can deal with a ceasefire in Lebanon that it can move into dealing with the West Bank as well," said Biden. Israel has been carrying ...
