On October 7, 2023, Hamas attacked Israel and killed more than 1,200 people. One year later, the families of the victims went to the site of the Nova festival this Monday for a tribute ceremony. The mother of Bar Zohar, killed at 23, testifies on LCI.
Families return to the scene of the attack. A year ago, on October 7, 2023, Hamas attacked Israel during an unprecedented offensive, leaving more than 1,200 dead and some 250 hostages. Among these victims, at least 370 were killed in Réïm, at the scene of the Nova music festival. This Monday, the crowd gathered there for a tribute ceremony. The hypnotic sounds of the last music heard on this site rang out, then the music was abruptly cut off at 6:29 a.m., as was the case on the day of the attack. A cry of distress broke the silence.
We wanted to feel what happened until 6:29 a.m. when the horror began

Then the rave party which was in full swing turned into a bloodbath, with the arrival of Hamas commandos. “We wanted to feel what happened until 6:29 a.m., when the horror began”continues Katy Zohar, present at the ceremony site since 4:30 a.m. “But it’s very difficult to be here.”
For her and her family, the absence of Bar Zohar prevents them from living normally. “It’s too difficult because of the war”she admits, as the echo of artillery fire and a helicopter in flight could be heard from the nearby Gaza Strip. “She was our little girl, we really miss her. We don’t yet know how to continue living normally.”
