A 20-year-old photographer told Insider how he escaped Hamas militants at the Nova music festival. Hamas militants opened fire on the festival-goers and took hostages, with those not fleeing playing dead or hiding in trees. He said the realization that Hamas militants were likely nearby caused him to have a panic attack. "I couldn't move, even to get back into the car," Derby explained. They drove again, and he said they passed a white Isuzu vehicle with Hamas militants in it.

☆ A Saudi-Israel deal could dramatically reshape the Middle East — but don't expect it anytime soon

Saudi Arabia doesn't recognize Israel as a state and has refused to do so since the latter's independence in 1948. A deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia could dramatically reshape the geopolitics of the Middle East. Saudi Arabia wants military promisesAnother big challenge is what Saudi Arabia is demanding of Washington. But even if a security guarantee and more advanced weapons access demands are met, U.S. backing for a Saudi nuclear program is likely more challenging. Any deal on this is also complicated by the fact that Saudi Arabia has its own natural supplies of uranium and intends to mine them itself.

Once close regional allies, relations between Israel and Turkey were strained for more than a decade, with Ankara having expelled Israel's ambassador following a 2010 Israeli raid on a ship that led a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza, which killed 10 Turkish citizens. Relations began improving with high-level visits last year including Israeli President Isaac Herzog's visit to Ankara.
