The Nova festival attack
Hundreds of people were killed at the Nova music festival during the Hamas-led attack of October 7. It is one of the attack’s main sites.
Nova was a desert music festival near the Gaza fence. On the morning of October 7, armed fighters arrived in trucks, on motorcycles and by paraglider and attacked people in the open.
Hundreds of people were killed there. Others were kidnapped. A UN report on sexual violence later named Nova among the sites where it described a pattern of bound, stripped and shot bodies.
