Israel’s Eurovision Singer Faces the Stage After Surviving Hamas Attack. Israeli Eurovision contestant Yuval Raphael is stepping into the spotlight just 18 months after surviving the Nova music festival massacre by Hamas gunmen - according to BBC. Trapped in a shelter where only 11 survived, she hid under bodies for eight hours — an experience she calls a turning point. Now 24, she’s preparing to perform New Day Will Rise at Eurovision, shrapnel still in her leg and with global eyes watching. Amid protests against Israel’s participation and warnings to fans about safety. Raphael says she’s staying focused on music. “I’ve practised singing through distractions. I carry a lot of responsibility, but I’m here to spread love and sing my heart out.” Despite calls to ban Israel from the contest, she remains determined to represent her country with pride.
