Harav Yosef Pinson, the chabad Shaliach in Nice spoke with Bechadrey Charedim early this morning. Harav Pinson shared the story of four camp counselors who had been present at the attack. "They were at the Independence Day celebration. A second before the attack, just as the truck began ramming people they stepped aside on the street the truck was driving on, and began walking home.

"Suddenly they heard screaming, people crying and running. Chaos. They also ran. They told me of terrible scenes. People flying in the air from the force of the impact. The street full of blood and people on the ground crying for help.

"I just took them to a medical clinic to receive psychological help. They are in shock.

"Despite the attack camp will open tomorrow. We will not be paralyzed by the attacks. We will continue to make a Kiddush Hashem."
