What is the story of the “Mass Escape” video?
Palestinian gunmen infiltrated a music festival near Orem and started shooting, and some young Israelis were forced to hide for hours in their cars.
The New York Times said that reports talk about hundreds of missing people after fleeing the festival, which was being held near the Gaza Strip.
On social media, lists began to spread on Saturday evening with the names of those present who were still missing, and one of them contained more than 500 names.
