Raz Cohen is chronologically the first named source to say that rape occurred on October 7th at the Nova Rave Festival. This occurs first on i24 English.
In his written account, Raz mentions hiding with two others:
โWe hid under the stage - me, Yam and Shoham.โ
A scene in the NOVA documentary on Youtube shows when Raz is hiding with his two friends (Shoam and Ram), notice LOTS of gunfire and explosions in the background:
In this video you can briefly see the group getting to a hiding spot. The person filming (Raz) appears to be with 2 others: Shoam, a bearded male and an unnamed female.
Raz C. writes one of the survivor stories on October7.org including this photo of him and his friend Shoam Gueta hiding in the busses.
For 6 hours we were surrounded by rockets, terrorists slaughtering people from the party and noises (best not to elaborate).
We were running like ducks at a shooting range| October7 Blog
Raz Cohenโs story published on October 11 implies that Cohen only heard rape as he hid in the field (or at least leaves open the possibility). The photo of him taking a jovial selfie is curious if he had just witnessed a brutal rape. While it is possible that this photo was taken before the rape, he later says he was hiding for 6 hours and that he witnessed the rape just 15 minutes after he began hiding.
