Thousands of people were gathered at the Supernova music festival near the village of Re'im in southern Israel on Oct. 7, when Palestinian militants breached the nearby Israel-Gaza barrier in a coordinated attack. More than 200 festival attendees were killed in the ensuing assault, and many more were wounded.
Zac Bernard was among the festival attendees who survived the attack, managing to evade the Hamas gunmen who fired on the unarmed civilians.
