Superstar DJ Reunites With Dad Who Survived Israel Music Festival Massacre

Brazilian DJ Alok posted an emotional picture on Instagram on Wednesday of him embracing his father, who survived the Hamas attack on a music festival in Israel over the weekend.

“What a relief to be able to hug you dad,” Alok captioned the image of him with his arms around his father, Juarez Petrillo—who performs under the name DJ Swarup. Swarup was about to begin his set at the Nova festival when the massacre started.

In a teary video Tuesday, Alok said his father was evacuated by police as the assault began. (Swarup filmed the festival being interrupted by the attack.) “Everyone ran away,” Alok said through sobs. “My dad also ran out and he managed to get in a car and get out of there.”
