Yuval Raphael was attending the Nova Sukkot Gathering music festival in Re'im on 7 October 2023, when Hamas terrorists attacked the festival. She hid inside a Death Shelter near kibbutz Be'eri with 50 other people, while sustaining shrapnel injuries from grenades thrown into the shelter. Raphael was one of 11 survivors, having hid under dead bodies for eight hours. Raphael still has shrapnel in her head and leg from the festival attack.
