Nova music festival

The Nova music festival was a trance music festival that took place on October 6 and 7, 2023, in Re'im in southern Israel, and was the site of a brutal Hamas massacre as part of the October 7 massacre. 

The festival saw around 3,500 people attend, but in the end, 364 people were murdered by Hamas terrorists, and dozens of others captured and taken back to Gaza as hostages.

The incident was one of the worst massacres of civilians in Israeli history, and was among the most brutal incidents to occur on October 7.
