A TERRIFIED partygoer who ran into a gunman as she fled the carnage at a music festival told The Sun: “He was shooting like a madman with murder in his eyes.”
Noa Beer, 29, had three injured strangers and a DJ in her Jeep as she sped away when the second killer raised his rifle to fire as the indiscriminate slaughter of innocents continued around them in the desert.

Music agent Noa told how they gathered after she realized they were surrounded by armed men — and said: “I thought I was going to die. I felt so helpless. I’m so angry.”
She spoke after it became known that 260 people were killed at a festival dedicated to peace.
Footage emerged of partygoers hiding in orchards as gunshots rang out.
Israeli authorities compared the outrage to IS’s worst atrocities and released a deliberately blurred image of bodies piled up in a tent.

They said: “The world needs to know what we are facing. They are Hamas terrorists, but no different than ISIS terrorists. Same tactics, different names. Slaughtering families, kidnapping grandmothers. Desecration of the body.”
Hamas gunmen surrounding the Supernova festival near Kibbutz Re’im in the western Negev desert opened fire at dawn on Saturday.
Security guards told the DJs to stop the music as 3,000 fans rushed for cover as the rocket bombardment began.
Noa, from Tel Aviv, who grew up in Hampstead, north London, ran to her Jeep with Hungarian DJ Wegh, whom she had booked.
They raced out of the parking lot only to be confronted by eight terrorists who peppered the fleeing crowds with bullets.
Noah, whose family live in Manchester, said: “Two cars in front collided when the motorcyclist in front of them was shot.
“I stopped and opened the door to help him, but bullets were flying.
“I looked up and saw a striker 20 meters away. He shot like crazy straight at me, looking me in the eye. I yelled at DJ to get out of the car and take cover. We hid behind the car door while people from the car in front who were not killed crawled towards us.
“Then a bullet flew past me from the other side. I thought the soldiers were returning fire, but to my horror it was four more terrorists, they were all around us, we had nowhere to go.
“They were shooting from all sides, so hiding behind the car door was pointless.

“I shouted, ‘Everybody in the car.’ It was a split second decision. We jumped back in, and three strangers with gunshot wounds also jumped in.
“I was so scared. Straight ahead was a terrorist shooting like crazy with murder in his eyes.
“In ten seconds I saw more death than ever in my life. Soon I went into reverse and turned the car around.
“Bullets were hitting our Jeep, but amazingly none of them hit the windows.
“Cars in front of us were hurtling off the road as the gunmen targeted the drivers — and then the passengers as they got out and tried to escape.
“But I had no choice but to drive through the attackers. One looked me dead in the eyes and raised his gun to kill us.
“I started driving towards him. I put my foot down and drove fast. He shot at us from maybe only two meters away and barely missed the window.
“I kept driving while the back of the car was still cracking and I didn’t look back. I drove as fast as I could and I didn’t stop.”
Noa headed to a hospital 40 minutes away so her passengers could be treated. She said: “The people at that festival were calm, happy people who just wanted to dance.

Terrified revelers reportedly hid in orchards as shots rang out
“They had no weapons, they were not soldiers. They didn’t ask for any of this.”
Two of her friends were killed last night, and at least four others are missing. They feared that they were dead or kidnapped.
She is friends with Noah Argamani (25), who was filmed shouting: “Don’t kill me! No, no, no”, while she was kidnapped and taken to Gaza on a motorcycle.
After targeting the main festival site, the attackers spread out to hunt revelers who tried to hide in the bushes.
One, named Ortel, said: “I entered the tree. I saw a mass of wounded people. They were sprayed with bullets.”
Among the missing was security guard Jake Marlowe, 26, from Potters Bar, Herts.
He called his mom when the first rockets fell, but he hasn’t been in touch since.
He went to a Jewish free school in Kenton, northwest London, attended by Israel Defense Forces Corporal Nathanel Young.
London-born Nathanel, 20, was killed in the first wave of attacks. Another missing Briton, Dan Darlington, also attended JFS.
Jennifer Damti, whose Irish-Israeli daughter Kim, 22, called her after the gunmen opened fire, said: “Kim didn’t realize there were seven or eight Toyota vans full of terrorists and they were just shooting everywhere.
They just shot them, slaughtered them like ducks.”
Former Israeli professional soccer player Lior Asulin, father of three, is among the victims.
He celebrated his 43rd birthday with friends.
Desperate families headed to a missing persons center set up near Ben Gurion Airport on the outskirts of Tel Aviv.
They were told to take with them items that would contain DNA – such as toothbrushes – to help, if necessary, identify the bodies of those killed.

Horrified and angry at the depth of barbarism
Uri Geller, a TV psychic who lives in Tel Aviv
THESE barbaric acts perpetrated by Hamas terrorists on innocent people in Israel have made me angrier than I have ever been in my life.
In just a day and a half, more than 900 Israelis were killed, over 2,500 were injured, and around 150 men, women and children were kidnapped.
And the terrorists who carried out these brutal murders and kidnappings filmed them.
My heart bleeds watching videos on social media of Israeli children, aged five and six, kidnapped and thrown into the streets of Palestine, where they were beaten by other children.
The horrific videos of a naked German woman being dragged through Gaza while people spit on her remind me of the Nazis in World War II.
I was introduced to death and destruction when I was a teenager living in Cyprus, where Greeks and Turks were killing each other.
As a paratrooper, below, I fought for Israel in the 1967 Six Day War.
From the roof of our apartment in Tel Aviv, you can hear the incoming Hamas missiles aimed at nearby towns.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that we are at war.
I have known Bibi for 55 years, since he was in the commando unit, and there is no doubt that we will win.
But I see it as a colossal failure of Israel’s intelligence service, which is considered the best in the world.
This invasion must be planned many months or perhaps even a year in advance.
There is no way they could have done it without Iran’s help. Iran is very good at cyber terrorism.
Could a cyberattack have prevented Israeli systems from intercepting communications?
Ultimately, there must be a diplomatic solution, but first we must return the abductees to their families.
Ironically, I am associated with the Israeli charity Save A Child’s Heart, and of the 7,000 children it has saved, half are Palestinian.
