A TERRIFIED reveller who drove at a gunman as she escaped the music festival massacre told The Sun: “He was shooting like crazy with murder in his eyes.”
Noa Beer, 29, had three injured strangers and a DJ in her Jeep as she accelerated when another killer lifted his rifle to fire while the indiscriminate slaughter of innocents continued around them in the desert.

Survivor Noa Beer tells of her miracle escape under fire at the Israel music festival
Music agent Noa told how they bundled in after she realised they were ringed by gunmen — and said: “I thought I was going to die. I felt so helpless. I am so angry.”
She spoke out as it emerged 260 people had been killed at the festival, which was devoted to peace.
Footage emerged of party-goers hiding in orchards as gun shots rang out.
The Israeli authorities compared the outrage to the worst ISIS atrocities in Iraq and Syria, and released one picture of bodies piled up in a tent.
They said: “The world needs to know what we are up against. They are Hamas terrorists, but no different than ISIS terrorists. Same tactics, different names. Butchering families, kidnapping grandmothers. Desecrating bodies.”
Hamas gunmen surrounding the Supernova festival near Kibbutz Re’im in the western Negev desert opened fire at around dawn on Saturday.
Security guards urged DJs to halt the music as 3,000 fans rushed to take cover as a rocket bombardment began.
Tel Aviv-based Noa, raised in Hampstead, North London, ran to her Jeep with Hungarian DJ Wegha, who she had booked.
They screeched out the car park only to be confronted by eight terrorists spraying fleeing crowds with bullets.
Noa, whose family live in Manchester, said: “Two cars in front crashed when a motorcyclist ahead of them was shot.
“I stopped and opened the door to help him but bullets were flying. I glanced up and there was a gunman 20 metres away. He was firing like crazy straight at me, looking into my eyes. I yelled at the DJ to get out of the car and take cover. We hid behind the car doors as people from the cars in front who had not been killed crawled towards us.
“Then a bullet flew past me from the other way. I thought it was soldiers firing back, but to my horror it was four more terrorists, they were all around us, we had nowhere to go.
“They were shooting from all directions so hiding behind the car doors was pointless.
“I yelled: ‘Everyone get in the car’. It was a split-second decision. We leapt back in and three strangers with gunshot wounds also jumped in.
“I was so scared. There was a terrorist straight ahead, shooting like crazy with murder in his eyes.

“In about 10 seconds I saw more death than ever in my life. I reversed at speed and span the car around.
“Bullets were slamming into our Jeep but amazingly none of them hit the windows.
“Cars in front of us were careering off the road because the gunmen were aiming at the drivers — and then the passengers when they got out and tried to run away.
“But I didn’t have any choice other than to drive through the gunmen. There was one looking me dead in the eyes and lifting the gun to shoot us.I started driving towards him. I put my foot down and drove fast. He shot at us from maybe only two metres away and barely missed the window.
“I continued driving while the back of the car was still being shot and didn’t look back. I drove as fast as I could and 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 peaceful, happy people who just wanted to dance.
“They didn’t have guns, they weren’t soldiers. They didn’t ask for any of this.”
Two of her friends were killed and at least four were missing last night. They were feared dead or abducted.

She is pals with Noa Argamani, 25, who was videoed yelling: “Don’t kill me! No, no, no,” as she was snatched and taken to Gaza on a motorbike.
After targeting the main festival site the gunmen fanned out to hunt revellers who tried to hide in scrubland.
One, called Ortel, said: “I went into a tree. I saw masses of wounded people. They had been sprayed with bullets.”
Among the missing was event security guard Jake Marlowe, 26, of Potters Bar, Herts.
He called his mum when the first rockets struck but has not phoned since.
He went to Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton, North West London, which Israeli Defence Force Corporal Nathanel Young attended.
London-born Nathanel, 20, was killed in the first wave of attacks.
Another missing Brit, Dan Darlington, also attended JFS.
Headteacher Dr David Moody said: “We are heartbroken.”
Jennifer Damti, whose Irish-Israeli daughter Kim, 22, phoned her after the gunmen opened fire, said: “Kim didn’t realise there was like seven or eight Toyota vans full of terrorists and they just shot everywhere. They just shot them, slaughtered them like ducks.”
Former Israeli professional footballer Lior Asulin, a dad of three, was among the victims.
He had been celebrating his 43rd birthday with friends.
Desperate families headed to a missing person’s centre set up near Ben Gurion Airport on the outskirts of Tel Aviv.
They were told to take items that would contain DNA, such as toothbrushes, to help, if necessary, to identify bodies.

Rescuers found at least 260 bodies at the music festival overrun by Hamas
Appalled and angry at depth of barbarism
By Uri Geller, TV psychic living in Tel Aviv
THESE barbaric acts committed by Hamas terrorists on innocent people in Israel have left me more furious than I have ever been in my life.
In just a day and a half, more than 900 Israeli people have been murdered, over 2,500 injured and around 150 men, women and children kidnapped.
And the terrorists who carried out these brutal murders and kidnaps filmed them.
My heart bleeds seeing videos on social media of Israeli children, aged five and six, kidnapped and thrown on to the streets of Palestine, where they were beaten by other children.
Horrific videos of a naked German woman being pulled through Gaza as people stepped up to spit on her reminds me of the Nazis in World War Two.
I was introduced to death and destruction when I was a teenager living in Cyprus, where the Greeks and Turks were murdering each other.
As a paratrooper, below, I fought for Israel in the Six-Day War of 1967.
From the roof of our apartment in Tel Aviv, you can hear the Hamas missiles aimed at nearby cities coming in.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared we are at war.
I have known Bibi for 55 years, since he was in the commando unit, and there is no doubt we will win.
But this I see as a colossal failure of Israeli intelligence, which is considered to be the best in the world.
This invasion must have been planned for many months or maybe even a year ahead.
There is no way they could have done this without Iran’s help. Iran is very good at cyber-terrorism.
Could a cyber-attack have prevented Israeli systems intercepting communications?
Ultimately, there must be a diplomatic solution but first we must get the kidnapped back to their families.
Ironically, I am connected to an Israeli charity, Save A Child’s Heart, and out of the 7,000 children it has saved, half are Palestinian.
