Summary. On October 7, 2023, around 6 a.m., Laura Bleiman-Kadar was in the Negev desert in southern Israel, where the Tribe of Nova music festival was taking place. This 35-year-old French-Israeli woman, a festival organizer, gets out of her van to tie her shoelaces when she hears the sound of several rockets being fired from the Gaza Strip.

Shortly thereafter, Hamas terrorists arrive. Laura hides with her husband and friends in a trailer. They remained there for many hours and heard terrorists shooting at festival-goers just meters away before they were freed by the Israeli army. On March 21, Laura published her testimony in the book Faith in Life (edited by Robert Laffont).

She testifies at Ambre Rosala’s microphone.
