The boyfriend of a missing Israeli woman who fled the Hamas-attacked music festival made a tough last-minute call to not attend the concert with her … and his decision is tearing him apart.
27-year-old Ohad Malul told the NY Post his 27-year-old girlfriend, Shani Kupervaser, went to the Supernova music festival near the Gaza Strip over the weekend — Malul said he decided to skip the event, because he’d just returned from a Paris trip and was exhausted.
However, Malul now says he feels like he “needed to go and be there with her. Maybe I could have done something different” — adding, “It’s killing me inside that I am not with her.”

He says she told him she wouldn’t go to the festival for long and that “Everything is going to be OK.” The tone changed when Kupervaser sent him a message while at the festival, claiming she saw rockets flying overhead.
From there, she fled with 3 of her friends, but came under gunfire and hauled it on foot to a roadside bomb shelter with people waving them in to come take cover.
The shelter turned out to be a horrifying trap … Malul says according to those who made it out alive, the 30 people inside seeking refuge were met with Hamas terrorists throwing grenades inside of it.
Malul says 2 men inside the shelter — including one of Kupervaser’s friends — bravely started catching the grenades and chucking them back at the terrorists … but he has no clue if his girlfriend is alive, kidnapped, or dead.
As we reported, German artist and festivalgoer Shani Louk was one of many kidnapped from the event … and was paraded and spat on by Hamas terrorists in the back of a truck.
Louk’s mom revealed on Tuesday that she learned Shani was still alive, despite the death and horrors so many are facing in Israel … and she pleaded with German officials to help get her daughter back safely.
