Freed Israeli hostage tells of beatings by Gaza captors

Omer Wenkert, 23, told Israeli TV he had hidden in a bomb shelter with a close friend when it became clear the Nova music festival was under attack by Hamas and other militants from Gaza on 7 October 2023.

"You say, 'Well... this is probably the end, and then one of them... started shooting us. It started to get hot and smoke came into the shelter, and then someone shouted from the entrance, 'Listen, they're burning us.' There was silence in the shelter," Wenkert said. "I was very busy the whole time... It's terrible to say that, busy taking people's bodies and putting them on my head to protect my head if they come to shoot us again, if a grenade comes."
