Israelis surviving the Hamas massacre
On October 7, 2023 the radical Islamist Hamas carried out a terrorist attack against Israel from the Gaza Strip. After rocket fire at targets in Israeli territory, Hamas and Palestinian group terrorists broke through the barriers between Gaza and Israel and entered the Israeli territory. They overwhelmed numerous military posts near the border, carried out crimes in settlements and small towns in southern Israel and massacred the civilian population. Besides, there has been massive gender-based violence against women. According to Israeli figures, more than 1,200 civilians and security forces were murdered or killed in combat in this Hamas terror attack, more than 5,400 people were injured and around 240 were taken hostage to Gaza; it has been the largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust.
After the terrorist attack, the founder and owner of the Cypriot Wellness Retreat Secret Forest, Yoni Kahana, decided to invite the young Israelis who attended the rave festival Supernova on October 7, 2023 and survived the terrorist attack to his home in Cyprus. In the Secret Forest they can relax and receive psycho-therapeutic care.
